How we ranked these looper pedals

Every pick ranks in Amazon's best-seller list for its category and has a listing with real specifications. The order mixes two things: how each model compares on the specs below (higher share of the best value in this group scores more), and how widely it is bought. The spec score runs from 9.0 to 9.8 and only compares these picks with each other. A spec the listing does not state is left out and the other specs are re-weighted; a listing with fewer than 2 stated specs is scored at half. We do not test gear in person. Full method.

Buying advice: small loop pedal

Match loop time to your longest loop

Loop time is the total minutes a pedal can record, and it differs from the minutes on one track. The MOOER Micro Looper II gives 480 minutes, while the M-VAVE LOOP II gives 11 minutes total with 5 minutes per track. Check the total and the per-track figure before buying, since a long total spread over tracks still limits one track.

Count tracks, loops and slots before buying

A pedal can store one loop, several loops, tracks or banks of slots, and those are different ways to organize recordings. The M-VAVE Loop Pedal Pro gives 9 loops in 9 slots, the M-VAVE LOOP II gives 3 tracks, and the MOOER Micro Looper II gives 3 saving banks with 16 slots per bank. Decide whether you want separate loops, separate tracks for one song, or banks of saved loops.

Check power, connections and silent practice

Power and connections decide where a pedal fits on a board. The IOppWin pedal runs from 9V DC or USB-C and has a 3.5mm headphone monitor jack for silent practice. The M-VAVE Loop Pedal Pro runs from a power bank, a phone charger or a 9V supply, and the M-VAVE LOOP II and the LEKATO pedal transfer WAV files over USB.
