TC Electronic has since released an update for the Ditto+ fixing the features highlighted in this video. Updates now include: - Drag & Drop backing tracks to work fully on Windows & Apple software. - The Extended loop function will now start, stop & overlay on a click/press instead of the release. For more information on the TC Electronic Ditto+ please visit the Andertons Website. 🤘 ➡️ tinyurl.com/ybxj3v4s
The Boomerang Phrase Sampler does an extended loop mode, and it works exactly like the Ditto + except instead of relying on the foot switch input for overdub timing, it will wait for a foot switch input and then cue up the overdub to start or stop at the top of the master loop. That way the overdub track always starts and stops when the master loop starts and stops. Maybe that's possible to tweak in a software update?
Andertons Music Co Quick question for anyone that can help, just bought a performer tele today and when I got home I noticed a popping noise when touching the open strings and volume and tone knob. I’ve researched quite a bit but it sound more like a ground issue or static???? Any help would be much appreciated.
@@jwake2372 Same problem with my Baja Tele. Grounding issue I think. Solved mine by banging on the pick guard until it stopped. Neanderthal approach - sometimes it works.
Exactly!! One comment said "thanks for running through the Ditto" Only thing they did was run their mouths and glossed over some major functions of the device.
“That extended loop function looks great, that’s convinced me to upgrade from my current looper. Excellent!...... oh, it doesn’t work..... I’ll not bother then”.
eekamoose Ah right, I though the update from Anderton’s suggested it was...... thanks for the heads up, I’ll wait until I actually see it working before I order one!
@@stuartmoffat1754 I wish I had waited before ordering mine but I believed what Andertons wrote here and ordered one (not from Andertons because Andertons don't have them in stock). Mine still has the bug and there's no new firmware as of 5 September 2020. Andertons write: "TC Electronic has since released an update for the Ditto+ fixing the features highlighted in this video" but this is BS. I don't know who is being dishonest here, TC or Andertons, but I guess that it's TC and that they have shafted Andertons. No music retailer wants to be caught lying to its customers.
eekamoose Thanks for the heads up mate, you’ve saved me some frustration, sorry to hear you’re having trouble. From experience Anderton’s have great customer service so suspect that you’re right that it’s not them trying to pull the wool over anybody’s eyes.
I thank you guys for your time sharing this ditto plus info. The only critic i will honestly let you know is that you both are clashing each others time to speak.
Integrity here. I'm happy they fixed it, (and EP is THE reason I'm getting this pedal) but seeing you call it out here so we can all be aware is 100% what I come to Andertons for. Thank you. For this reason, I'm buying mine from you instead of Sweetwater, and just paying the overseas shipping. Thank you.
"5% of users will use the extended looper mode" - that is the single greatest reason to buy the pedal! My £40 Donner looper does the import and export bits already for under half the price and with a much smaller power draw. The extended loop feature being broken is unacceptable and a huge deal breaker. This product shouldn't be released in it's current form. That being said, i commend Andertons for being upfront about it and not just shilling TC like other channels might.
According to their website, to end an extended loop you can press the button at any time within the last repeat of the short/original loop and it will automatically cut it to the right moment.
A very cool device. Good thing you point at the drawback, which is one, clearly, but what is cool is that such a serious company will hear that and make a correction.
In a live gig setting 100% of users would the extended loop mode Such a great tool for live looping in a compact unit and would be the entire reason to buy it Fix the glitch and you’ll have my money!
I play just with a drummer and I started with the Ditto,then the Ditto Jam X2 looper, and now I pre-ordered this because of the extended looper feature that you felt only 5% of the people will use. I use the ditto to jam with a drummer so this feature will be fabulous! Can't wait to be able to save some of those tracks as well. Was a bit bummed to hear that delay on the loop around. Their demo on their channel didn't show that.
Go back to the 90's there was the Paradis Looping Delay, later the Oberheim and Gibson Echoplex (who buyed the licence to build and develop it further). All this 19" Rack loopers had the «Multiply» function wich the Ditto plus does now. I was waiting for this for decades. Now I can retire my Paradis Looping Delay.
Funniest thing is, I recently acquired the Ditto looper along with the Soul Food overdrive as the first two pieces of my pedal collection and then a few days later a brand new Ditto pedal is in existence 😂 the world works in mysterious ways
Posted on the Tc Electronic Forum, and one of their representatives replied that they've already issued a software update that has sorted the problem and have sent the new update to Andertons as well!
Thanks for the demo ! I immediately bought one after the first feature you mentioned, however you messed up the demo and confused a lot of newbies out there......ALWAYS PUSH THE BUTTON ON THE 1👍🏻😁.your welcome
Love my Ditto - it definitely improves my guitar playing, and its always fun. I could get quite a bit of use out of the extend loop feature, so might consider an upgrade. As for using it for backing tracks - not sure I would want them playing through my guitar amp.
Geez it is fantastic to see you both together! What a great vid and super information once again. Objective and true things we NEED to know. You guys are fantastic :)

Such honest review reporting what's really a bug in the sw⚠ Should be easy to fix. Let's see if they do fix it before it's released. Thanks guys! Magic!! ... & fun as usual. 👍
Great playing guys. I have the TC Voicelive 3 and it has a similar feature that lets you add a longer loop over a short one which repeats to fill the gap. It doesn’t have the glitch issue. If the feature doesn’t work properly on the ditto+ then it shouldn’t be on there at all. I hope TC are not going to go downhill on quality now that behringer have taken them over.
"There is a bit of an issue..." Then shows that the extended loop function is absolutely broken. They should not release it like that. I try not to be negative because sometimes things are not for me, but that hiccup is terrible and makes a new function disfunctional. Edit: wanted to mention that the Hall of Fame and Trinity reverbs are two of my favorite pedals ever. I use them all the time, and I dig a lot of their pedals.
It's better that they have it on there imo, it's the first pedal to do that functionality that I'm aware of, cut them some slack. Hopefully it will get fixed in a update.
Ebadd9 The concept is great, but I’m honestly not sure what the extended loop function is for in it’s current state. It feels like they would have been better hiding that function until it’s fixed because if it’s released as-is they’re going to get a lot of returns.
@@Ebadd9 The Aeros looper does that functionality and way more (in stereo), has midi beat sync and internal clocking, etc, and is pretty much the be all, end all looper (at a high price for sure) But for serious loopers out there who want stereo looping with the option of studio quality audio, the Aeros is currently the king of loopers in my opinion.
After watching TC Electronic's official demo of this pedal, I think Andertons was doing it incorrectly. Yes, clicking on the 1 will cause a "hiccup". But apparently you can queue a stop by tapping the button any time during the repeating loop, and it will automatically stop at the end of the loop on beat 1.
Wow... Just wow. Just bought the ditto mini so thanks TC. We also just did their entire Drive range of pedals in a review but this is giving us some serious unwanted GAS. Pete Honore you produced some super tasty loops. The Captain and Pete have some excellent on screen chemistry.
The features all sound like a perfect update to me, I just hope that the extended looping mode gets fixed, because otherwise I would need another looper as well, which would be kinda missing the point
I have the Ditto X2 , had this pedal for a few years now , it's great fun and has a few fun features too like reverse and half speed , one of my best pedals.
You guys are so fast to test the new products, I just received the TC newsletter !!! I own two TC products and find them great : original Ditto and Nova System. Keep on testing in that way (including issues). PS : I also like the San Pellegrino Lemon.
The extended loop function is something I have really been waiting for. I can't figure out how to do it on my rc30 so I was waiting to get a second one that could.
I have the Ditto X2 , which I purchased when it was first released , it's the best pedal on my board as for being versatile , and it brings out my creative side even more. It also helps improve my timing and improvisation. I would definitely recommend a looper pedal for a six month beginner.
I was considering a Boss RC-5 in the future when the funds are available. Then, I saw a used RC-10R for the same price, but no funds yet. Then, I came across the Ditto Plus, which has much of the same functionality as the RC-5, but lower price because it only has 60 minutes vs 13 hours of loop time and no integrated drum machine. That's fine because I'm sure I could make my own drum tracks on my Roland drums if decide I really want them. But then, I watched this video and saw it has Pong built-in. Well, that just settles it. This looper is a must have! I can't wait to have some disposable funds to buy one.
Extended loopmode is a life saver! But we need MORE! This function, though it had a rocky start can really help musicians create songs. We just need additional control over different parts at different timings. Remove, edit, replace, overdub, that sorta thing
to me the extended loop isn’t a niche feature, i do live shows where i loop and i’ve always thought they needed that and ik i’m not alone on that, seems like a mature oversight
That's real fire, they are on a real quality level here ! What will be or life without loops pedals :0 ? Work well on garageband ahah (Only my last videos ahah)
I own the original ditto and I love it. And I’ve always wished for an extended loop. Hearing now that TC Electronic knows what their customers want is nice, but we don’t want it with a major bug. It shouldn’t be released until that is fixed. Other than that, it looks awesome and has a lot of promise.
It is a great pedal. I have owned the Ditto, the Ditto Stereo, and now I have had the Ditto + for a few month. I used it a lot and do enjoy it very much. I have downloaded from RU-vid or Spotify and organised my tracks by style (rock, blues, jazz, bossa...) and kept space for my own working tracks. I am on Mac and things cannot be more easy as I see the folders in the finder, so delte, add, modify is easy. One thing I miss and I would have loved is the possibility to slow down or speed up the music. That would have been a great feature for people who consider the Ditto + as a traning tool. Maybe a future microcode update (hey TC can you do it ?). I do recommend this pedal to all my guitar friends.
@@donovansun5470 Hello, it is in fact very easy. I am on Mac but I believe it is the same on PC. I connect the Ditto to my computer with a USB cable. The unit appears in the Finder (equivalent to File Explorer). Each song is recorded in a folder and you can have 99 folders (folder01, folder02, folder03,.... You can copy and paste a 24bit/44,1 Khz song in one folder. No other format just 24/44,1... Then when you take the cable off and reconnect the unit to the power it will rescan the folders and the song you have pasted in say 'folder02' will play when you push the pedal footswitch. Tha's all
