Sheeran Looper Plus: Everything I Like (but something's missing - and how I got around it) 

Thank you for the video. No way to control volume is a definite deal breaker.

Dude , thanks for the video ,not a sheerhan fan but the looper looks good , hey you should be Vince in a Crüe tribute.keep rockin

A couple of other obvious simple things missing. 1. You can't run a continuous record -> playback -> record over -> playback loop. You're required to go into dub mode. I got around this by using a pedal and assigning pedal 1 to change track (Track) and pedal 2 to erase. Then I can record A, change to track B, record B, change to track A, erase A, record A... 2. The split out logic is exactly reverse of what it should be, in fact I can't think of a use case for the way it is now. It should be that record A, loop A, should play out one channel, and then all the overdubs (or clean audio) should play out the other channel. This would solve your problem Traver in the best way. That is you could set a clean accoustic loop that would play back on the clean channel and any live or overdub would come out the other channel which could be channelled to the lead amp. Instead, in split mode, the recorded track will always play out the other channel, not useful.

Great video! I just got one of these myself and love it. I use it like you do, simple backup as opposed to full on multitrack song creation. Hopefully an update fixes the volume thing. Dig your music, btw! Rock on 🤟😎❤️

Nice review Trevor. I’ve got a simpler RC-3 which I just use at home to create backing tracks to practice over. Larger pedals would definitely be better for live situations.

I’ve always boosted my lead stuff, I don’t think I would have even noticed the volume thing. I’ve always used my RC 20 that way. My looper is at the end of my board. It is a good thing to know, I’m sure a lot of acoustic player are interested in this pedal.

I can literally see the volume controls on your guitar. Just er... turn it down a little for the chords? :)

Hi Trevor. Thank you for the quality review. I really appreciate it. If I already have a Boss RC-500, does it make sense switching to a Sheeran Looper+ if volume control is not critical to me. How does the Sheeran Looper+ compare to the Boss RC-500 in terms of usability, intuitiveness, simplicity, and sound quality? Or to put the question another way: if price didn't matter and you had to choose between these two models, which one would you choose?

I agree about the lack of playback volume control. It might be a lot to ask on a small unit, but I’d also like to pan layers in a stereo field. In places where you can get effective performance stereo, panning can make a big difference.

Hey brother, it’s Lefty Collins. Just got mine too. In the unboxing and firmware updating phase. But that is a very interesting tidbit about no volume control. But I pretty much have the same set up you do. I use the zoom ACC one as my volume boost Instead of the LR bags which I’ve also used in the past. And a boss RC 30. I use the Porchboard base and what I like about the RC 30 is the ability to loop both the Porchboard base and the rhythm track and one single motion. Sure this year looper does that I just haven’t figured out how to do it yet. I also use the boost function on the AC one for my solos currently so it’s something I’m already used to.

Hey Man! Hello from Ireland …. I just discovered your videos… you are a cool dude…. I have the Sheeran looper for a couple of weeks now and I fully agree about the volume, I have just controlled my volume from the guitar BUT I am no where near as profecient as you are as a musician and I could never look anywhere as cool as you do…. Thank you

Haha the traumatic reverse function experience deserves a video

I’m confused. Isn’t the volume controlled by the knob labeled “Main”?

Nice review

If you're running your instrument through a volume pedal that would also address the problem wouldn't it? I have a volume pedal before my current looper now, since most sound guys tend to not give ukuleles enough volume. It's just a matter of remembering to turn the pedal down after your solo. Awesome video and love the input since i'm in the research phase of this pedal!

Can you turn down the volume on your pick up to play the chords and then turn up volume during solo?

Curious: Why is the Venue after the looper?

Que otro looper compacto hay, similar al sheeran+ ?

What model Yamaha is that?

when was this? i miss your live streams 🥺 - J

overpriced garbage, and it's fugly, RC-500 is boss, made by Boss
