Electro-Harmonix ups the loop pedal ante with the 1440 Stereo Looper
24 minutes of stereo recording time, storage for 20 loops and reverse/octave effects onboard
Electro-Harmonix has announced the 1440 Stereo Looper, the latest in its line-up of looper pedals.
The 1440 derives its name from its 1440 seconds - that’s 24 minutes - of uncompressed stereo recording time, while it offers storage for up to 20 loops and unlimited overdubs.
Two footswitches control the action: loop (hold to undo/redo) and stop/FX. The loop footswitch can also be set up to stop the loop on a double-tap, while an external footswitch can be connected for undo/redo and to select loops.
Onboard effects are reverse and octave, while there’s also a one-shot button option to play back a loop just once. You can set the looper up to to rec/play/dub or rec/dub/play, too.
Other features include adjustable loop fadeout time, loop synchronization to external MIDI clock, and USB connection to import and export loops via the EHX 1440 PC/Mac application.
The 1440 Stereo Looper is available for $221.30, including a 9V power supply. Head over to EHX for more info.
