Looper: A looper pedal records a musical passage and then repeatedly plays it back over and over called a loop. Once it is played back, most looper pedals allow for overdubbing new passages over the first one. Most loopers also can change the tempo as well as the direction (reverse) of the playback loop. This leaves a limitless blank canvas for creating different harmonic soundscapes and rhythms.
Simple Definition: A looper pedal records a segment and plays that recording over and over.
