Introduction
When TC Electronic introduced in Ditto Looper
2013 it became a smash hit overnight. Guitarists
loved the simple no-nonsense approach to loop-
ing so much that it became the best-selling gui-
tar pedal in the world.
With Ditto Stereo Looper, TC Electronic brings
some of the most popular features of the larger
dual-switch Ditto X2 Looper into a smaller chas-
sis, without compromising the truly essential
and simple functionality that made Ditto Looper
so popular. These include stereo, USB import/
export of loops, backing track, StarJam and
the ability to power the unit via either a PSU (TC
Electronics PowerPlug 9 is a great choice) or 9V
battery.
Of course, Ditto Stereo Looper sports the same
features that made the original Ditto such a suc-
cess:
five minutes of looping time,
unlimited overdubs,
overdub undo/redo,
true-bypass, analog dry-through design and
24 bit uncompressed high quality audio.
Setup
Ditto Stereo Looper English Manual 4
Setup
Ready
The Ditto Stereo Looper box should contain the
following items:
1 Ditto Stereo Looper pedal
1 USB cable (for transferring loops from and
to a computer and for updating the pedal
firmware)
1 Quick Start Guide sheet
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.
Set
-Connect a 9V power supply delivering a mini
mum of 100 mA with the following symbol to
the DC input socket of Ditto Stereo Looper.
! Please note that Ditto Stereo Looper does
not come with a power supply.
Plug the power supply into a power outlet.
Alternatively, you can operate Ditto Stereo
Looper using a 9V battery.
Connect your instrument to the MONO input
jack of the pedal using a ¼“ jack cable. You
can also feed the pedal with a stereo signal
by using both INPUT jacks.
Connect the MONO output jack of the pedal
to your amplifier using a ¼jack cable. You
can also send a stereo signal from the pedal
to the next device in the signal chain by using
both OUTPUT jacks.
For more complex setups, see Setup exam-
ples.

Setup example 3: Ditto Stereo Looper in an FX loop
If you are using an amp or a mixer with a stereo
FX loop, place your modulation effects and Dit-
to Stereo Looper in that FX loop. Again: To get
the most out of your setup, place Ditto Stereo
Looper at the of the FX loop. This gives you end
the flexibility to add parts with or without signal
processing by simply switching effects on and
off as required.

1. Power input
The power input of this pedal is a standard
5.5 / 2.1mm DC plug (centre = negative). To pow-
er up your pedal, connect a power supply to its
power input socket. Ditto Stereo Looper requires
a 9V power supply providing 100 mA or more
(not supplied). To minimize hum, use a power
supply with isolated outputs. TC Electronic rec-
ommends using the PowerPlug 9. You can also
run Ditto Stereo Looper using a battery.
2. Audio inputs
This pedal has two standard ¼jack (mono/TS)
inputs for stereo operation. If your signal source
is mono (e.g. a regular guitar or a mono effect
pedal), connect it to the MONO input. For other
setups, see Setup examples.
3. Audio outputs
This pedal has two standard ¼jack (mono/TS)
outputs for stereo operation. If the next device in
the signal chain is mono, connect it to the MONO
output. For other setups, see Setup examples.
4. Footswitch and LED
Use the footswitch to control all loop-related
functions of the pedal (record, playback, undo/
redo, clear). See Creating loops.
5. Loop / backing track
level control knob
Use the Loop level control knob to control the
level of your loops.
Use the Loop level control knob while hold-
ing down the Store / Delete Backing track level
switch to control the level of your backing track.
See Balancing backing track and current loop
levels.
6. Store / Delete / Backing
track level switch
To store the current loop as a backing track,
nudge this switch up.
To delete the stored loop/backing track, hold
this switch in the up position for three sec-
onds.
To set the level of the backing track, turn
the Loop level control knob while holding this
switch in the down position.
The difference between current loop and the
stored backing track is explained in Current
(in-memory) loop vs. stored loop (backing
track).
7. USB port
Connect Ditto Stereo Looper to a computer to
transfer loops between your computer and Ditto
Stereo Looper. If there should be firmware up-
dates for this device, they can also be installed
using the USB port.
Creating loops
Ditto Stereo Looper English Manual 10
Creating loops
Recording your first loop
Important: On the following pages, operation
is described based on the default operation
mode of Ditto Stereo Looper (Record
loop > Playback > Record overdubs). You
can also use an alternative operation
mode. See Setting operation mode.
To start recording, press the footswitch once.
The LED will light up in red, indicating Ditto Ste-
reo Looper is in Record Mode.
At the end of the loop (for example, after eight
bars), press the footswitch again.
The LED will turn green, and Ditto Stereo Looper
will repeat the loop continuously. The LED will
blink every time Ditto Stereo Looper reaches the
starting point of the loop.
Your loop can be up to five minutes long!
Setting loop playback volume
To change the playback volume of the loop you
just recorded, adjust the knob labelled “Loop
Level”.
The Loop Level knob only controls loop playback
level – it has no influence on the signal from your
instrument.
Overdubbing
When youre happy with your original loop, you
can start overdubbing.
To record another take (overdub), press the foot-
switch again while the original loop is playing
back. The footswitch LED will turn red, indicating
you’re in Record mode again.
When you’re done, press the footswitch once
more to quit Record mode.
Ditto Stereo Looper will repeat the loop with both
the original recording and the overdub.
Please note that the length of the loop will
never increase when overdubbing. When you
continue playing, you will simply create additio-
nal overdubs. You can record as many overdubs
as you like there is no limit.
Creating loops
Ditto Stereo Looper English Manual 11
Undo (clearing the last take)
To undo the last take you recorded (i.e., remove
it), simply press and hold the footswitch for 1.5
seconds or longer during playback.
The LED will blink twice in rapid succession, and
the last take will be cleared (removed). Previously
recorded takes will stay intact.
Redo (restoring a previously
cleared take)
If you have cleared (removed) the last take using
Undo and you changed your mind, you can re-
store that take. To do so, simply press and hold
the footswitch for 1.5 seconds or longer during
playback.
The LED will blink twice in rapid succession, and
the previously deleted take will be restored.
Using Undo/Redo creatively
Undoing and redoing overdubs can be used
for more than just correcting mistakes. You can
make your performance more interesting by re-
moving and bringing back sections. Here is a
simple example:
Record a bass line (loop cycle 1).
Record some chords (loop cycle 2).
Record a melody (loop cycle 3).
Press and hold the footswitch to clear the
last take, i.e., remove the melody. Improvise
or record something else.
Press and hold the footswitch again to bring
back the previously cleared melody.
Please note that undoing or redoing by using
the footswitch is only possible during play-
back. If you hold down the footswitch after you
have stopped loop playback or recording, you
will delete the full loop, including all overdubs!
Creating loops
Ditto Stereo Looper English Manual 12
Stopping loop playback / recording
To stop loop playback, press the footswitch
twice in short succession.
To stop recording, press the footswitch once.
The LED will start flashing in green to indicate
that your loop is still in memory and ready for
playback.
Stopping loop playback / recording
and deleting the loop/backing track
To stop loop playback/recording and delete ev-
erything you have recorded, press the footswitch
twice in short succession and hold down your
foot on the second tap. Please note that it takes
three seconds until the backing track is actually
deleted.
The LED will turn off to indicate that the loop has
been deleted. At this point, you can start record-
ing loops from scratch again.
Deleting the loop when you are
not recording or playing back
To delete everything you have recorded (instead
of just removing the last take) when you are not
recording or playing back, press and hold the
footswitch.
! When you delete a loop by pressing and hold-
ing the footswitch, playback will start before
the loop is actually deleted. This simply can-
not be avoided, because hitting the footswitch
triggers playback before Ditto Stereo Looper
„realizes“ that you actually want to delete the
loop.
The LED will flicker red and then turn off to indi-
cate that the loop has been deleted.
When you delete your loop from Ditto Stereo
Looper, the device goes into True Bypass mode.
Other than clearing the last overdub (which
can be undone), deleting the full loop as de-
scribed in this section cannot be undone.
Creating loops
Ditto Stereo Looper English Manual 13
Setting operation mode
(“Record loop > Playback > Record” overdubs
vs. “Record loop > Record overdubs > Play”)
Looping means creating music in real-time. This
process should be fun and intuitive. But one
guys “intuitive” is another guy’s weird”. This is
why we give you the opportunity to choose your
preferred method.
Some musicians prefer this workflow:
1. Press a footswitch to start recording.
2. Press it again to switch to playback.
3. Press it a third time to create additional takes
(overdubs).
This is Ditto Stereo Loopers default mode.
Other people prefer this method:
1. Press a footswitch to start recording.
2. Press it again to switch from recording your
original loop to creating additional takes (over-
dubs) right away.
3. Press it a third time to go to playback.
With Ditto Stereo Looper, you can choose your
preferred method.
To switch to the alternative operation mode (“Re-
cord loop > Record overdubs > Play”), do this:
Unscrew the cross-head screw on the back
of the pedal and detach the backplate.
-If there is a battery in the battery compart
ment, remove it.
You will see two dip switches on the right
side of the battery compartment. By de-
fault, both switches will be up” i.e., both
dip switches will face towards the top of the
pedal.
Use a toothpick to set the dip switch labelled
“2” to the “down” position, so it is facing to-
wards the bottom of the pedal.
Re-insert the battery.
Remount the backplate.
