Ditto X4 Looper is the pedal that'll let you turn a single moment in time into 

something truly spectacular. By perfectly merging ease of use with stellar 

creative features like dual loop tracks, 7 loop FX, loop decay and MIDI sync, 

Ditto X4 Looper will instantly become the canvas on which you paint your 

multi-layered sonic masterpieces. If you can dream it, you can loop it!

• 

The guitar player’s looper - made for guitarists by guitarists

• 

Dual loop tracks - create evolving multi-track compositions or 

fully fledged songs

• 

7 loop FX - endless creative potential

Even though Ditto X4 Looper basically offers endless creative possibilities, it still 

honors the core principle of our famed Ditto Looper. Simplicity! No drum-

machines, no deep-editing menus or other time consuming tech-nonsense, 

only immediate unfiltered fun. So all you have to think about is - What will you 

create today?

1 TC Electronic sticker

• 

1 leaflet about TC’s guitar FX product range

Inspect all items for signs of transit damage. In the unlikely event of transit 

damage, inform the carrier and supplier. If damage has occurred, keep all 

packaging as it can be used as evidence of excessive handling force. 
Connect the 9V power supply to the X4’s DC input socket, and plug the power 

supply into a power outlet. 
Connect your guitar and other pedals to the Ditto X4 as described in the 

Hookup chapter.
