Operating Instructions

The Nano Looper 360 features a single footswitch for all primary operations and two control knobs: LEVEL for loop playback volume and LOOP for selecting memory locations.

Basic Looping Operations:

• Recording a Loop:

  Press the footswitch once to begin recording. The REC (red) LED will illuminate. Play your desired phrase. When finished, press the footswitch again to stop recording and immediately begin playback. The PLAY (green) LED will illuminate, and the MEM (yellow) LED will light up, indicating the loop is automatically saved to the selected memory slot.

• Overdubbing:

  While a loop is playing, press the footswitch once to enter overdub mode. Both the REC (red) and PLAY (green) LEDs will be lit. Play your new part. Press the footswitch again to stop overdubbing and return to playback mode. You can overdub as many times as you like without degradation in fidelity.

• Stopping Playback:

  Double-tap the footswitch quickly to stop playback. The PLAY (green) LED will turn off.

• Erasing a Loop:

  To erase the currently selected loop, press and hold the footswitch for 2 seconds. The MEM (yellow) LED will blink, confirming the loop has been erased.

• Undo/Redo:

  To undo the last recorded overdub, press and hold the footswitch for 1 second while in playback mode. To redo the undone overdub, press and hold the footswitch for 1 second again.

Memory Function:

The Nano Looper 360 has 11 memory locations (1-11) to store your loops. Use the LOOP knob to select a memory slot. If the MEM (yellow) LED is lit when you select a slot, it indicates that a loop is already stored there. If the MEM LED is off, the slot is empty.

• Disconnect the power adapter when the pedal is not in use for extended periods.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Nano Looper 360, try the following steps:

• No Sound: Check all cable connections (instrument to input, output to amplifier). Ensure the power adapter is securely plugged in and the power source is active. Verify the LEVEL knob is not set to minimum.
• Loop Not Recording/Playing: Ensure the correct memory slot is selected using the LOOP knob. Check the LEDs (REC/PLAY) to confirm the pedal is in the correct mode.
