loop pedal

A loop pedal is a device used by musicians to record a segment of music in real-time and then automatically play it back repeatedly. This allows performers to layer multiple musical parts on top of each other live, creating complex, multi-layered compositions without additional players. Essentially, it captures a musical idea and plays it back in a continuous loop, enabling solo artists to build rich soundscapes or harmonies during a performance. Loop pedals are widely used in genres like loop-based music, solo performances, or improvisational settings to enhance musical expressiveness and creativity.
