The Sheeran Looper X is your ultimate looper workstation for songwriting and live performance. Looper X features Ed Sheeran's powerful multi-track looper workflows, stadium-grade die-cast aluminum pedals, intuitive 7" touchscreen with real-time metering and waveform rendering, full RGB LED indicator system and a complete toolkit of loop creation and remix functions.
Designed by Ed and his production team, Looper X utilizes custom DSP powered by HeadRush®, featuring a suite of premium built-in multi-FX, class-leading audio quality and comprehensive connectivity options to help take your looping to the next level. Designed to perform flawlessly night after night, tour after tour, Sheeran Looper X offers musicians from singers, guitarists and keyboard players to violinists, drummers, and beatboxers a new world of creative looping possibilities.
Stadium Grade Hardware
Sheeran Looper X features 8 of the same signature foot pedals found on Ed's stadium stage looper. These precision-engineered pedal units are forged from automotive-grade aluminum alloy and mounted to a stealthy, matte black tour-grade steel chassis. The optimally pitched 15° pedal surface provides direct access to looper transport and track controls, performance modes and remix functions for instinctive operation and fluid performance. The stunning contoured side panel profiles feature a titanium grey satin finish, echoing the sophistication and elegance of Ed's very own Sheeran by Lowden™ Acoustic Guitar range.
Everything's Under Control
Sheeran Looper X raises the bar with an ultra-responsive 7" multi-touch display and 360° navigation wheel making it intuitive, fast and easy to explore. Looper X has been specifically designed to deliver advanced looping features through an uncluttered and manageable UI, utilizing a familiar smartphone-style main menu to access performance pages and system settings. A virtual keyboard appears to name tracks and sessions plus the multi-touch audio mixer and FX editor utilize familiar drag and swipe gestures to change parameters in seconds. Looper X also features all-important tactile input and output volume control to dial in your mix quickly and easily.
Looping Without Limits
Looper X can record up to four stereo looper tracks in a single session with no maximum loop lengths. You can save over seven hours of audio to internal HD storage or expand to a virtually unlimited amount of storage by connecting external USB or SD drives. Looper X offers powerful algorithmic features such as tap tempo with intelligent time-stretch, automatic tempo detection of your naturally played loops. You can also import loops (.wav or .mp3) to a track and automatically match the current loop tempo. Looper X also features control via external MIDI devices, as well as customizable pedal menu functionality allowing you to completely personalize and adapt your own perfect workflow.
5 Creative Looper Modes
Looper X offers intuitive looping out-the-box with five versatile looper modes to spark creativity and hone your performance.
Multi Mode: 4 tracks with a global loop length for building tracks, just like Ed's stadium
stage looper workflow.
Sync Mode: 4 tracks with the same or different lengths that automatically stay in sync to create dynamic arrangements on-the-fly.
Song Mode: 4 tracks with same or different lengths that function as independent song sections (ex. verse, chorus, etc.)
Band Mode: 3 tracks with same or different lengths that function as independent song sections (ex. verse, chorus, etc.) and 1 global track that can be used for all song sections (ex. percussion)
Free Mode: 4 unsynchronized tracks with no rules, perfect for getting creative with ambient soundscapes
Professional FX Engine from HeadRush®
Sheeran Looper X features a full array of individual and multi-FX processor chains to enhance your sound and level-up your loops! Choose from one of the 9 different multi-FX racks featuring over 150 unique presets custom-designed for vocals, guitars, keys, percussion and more.

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty
A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.
Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.
How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
- Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
- Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
- No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
- Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
- Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
- Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
- Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
- Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
- Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.
Purchasing additional years of coverage
Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.
If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:
- NEW products: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
- USED products: 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. 4% for each additional year.
- GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
- BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
