WORKING THE LOOPER ON SHOWBOX:

Here is how to work the looper in four easy steps:
In most of these cases, we have seen that that a channel needs to be selected first. That is not the case
with the looper. Any number of channel(s) may be looped simultaneously, regardless of what channel is selected.
1. Single-tap the looper button to engage the first recording loop.
The button's LED will illuminate and slow flashes white when tapped.
Note: ShowBox can record/loop up to a total of four minutes of mono record time at 48 kHz.
2. Single-tap the looper button again to stop recording the first loop. The button's LED will stop flashing
and instead illuminate solid white. Additionally, it will immediately begin playback.
3. There are a multitude of choices you can make from here, including...
3a: Doing nothing. Just continue playing, you only needed one loop, everything in its right place.
3b: Adding additional loop(s). Simply follow steps 1 and 2 above for however many more loops
3c: Stopping the loop. Regardless of the number of loops recorded, double-tap the looper button to stop the loop.
3d: Clearing the loop. Did ya eat it on the loop? Fingers got all sweaty? Voice started cracking? Don't sweat it,
4. On the front of the breakaway mixer – just above the looper button (also seen in the picture above) – is a CliffsNotes®
version of how to work the loop: top line = single tap (rec/play/overdub), middle line = double-tap (stop playback),
the last in line = tap-and-hold (clear loop)... or you could always come back here and read the whole shebang!
Oh, loopers are glorious, aren't they?! If you happen to be unfamiliar with what loopers
are and what they do, they record and playback music (in real-time). Sometimes they're
external pedals, sometimes they're built into amps, and sometimes they're in rackmount
effects. Lucky for you, a looper was built in to the ShowBox circuitry!
At its default, the looper button is not engaged and the LED will remain unlit.
you want to record.
It will keep (and play) the recorded loop(s) and overdub the new loop on top of it.
Keep in mind that when the LED is flashing, it is recording, when it is solid, it is on playback.
The button's LED will illuminate solid red.
Note 1: Single-tap the looper button again to start playback. Double-tapping here simply continues the stop.
Note 2: When disengaged, it will start at the beginning of the loop, not from where it was stopped.
we've all been there. Let's start fresh with a clean slate by clearing the loop. Tap-and-hold the button down
for two seconds to erase any memory of those awful recordings. The button's LED will no longer illuminate,
indicating that the loop has been cleared.
"That was a great take, but let's do another one." Head back to step 1.
