Excellent! Ability to record and transfer to DAW is a game changer as a songwriter. Undo dub function works great.

Absolute value for money. Watched countless YouTube reviews/demos but seeing and using the Circle Looper proved it was worth the investment.
The Quality of the build is as good as any. Strong metal housing and seems like it will last a while. The sound quality is real nice too. There's no operational noises or hums. Very quiet pedal. I like the simple and user-friendly interface. Does heaps without being cluttered or complicated. I only wish Donner made a compatible External Control pedal for it. I'd buy it immediately. Or at least a list of compatible ones that will work correctly.
All in all, I am very happy with the function, quality and cost of the Circle Looper. Great work. Thanks for making it so affordable.

I'm only a learner, lounge lizard. Love it

Has so many options to play around with it can take a little while to get the feel for it. Once you do you can create a whole backing track and just go for it! Brilliant! Would highly recommend...

For the price and the performance is magic! .. compact and fits easily onto the pedal board .. and such a metal case .. Congratulations Donner .. you have an admiral product ..

It wasn't clear at all when ordering that it doesn't come with a power cord. On top of that, the power supply specs are very odd (9V 300mA), which means it is very difficult to source in Australia. Donner doesnt even have them available to purchase, so I had to purchase from a third party vendor. I am still waiting for the power supply to be shipped to me from overseas. Very frustrating experience. I won't be buying from Donner again.

Great little looper. Good quality sound. Easy to use. One good feature is that you can use one input for guitar and another for mic so you can build up layers of percussion, harp etc via microphone. One disadvantage is that you can only delete the last dub. All in all though very good.

I'm over 60, played professionally for over 25 yrs.
Half my current accoustic guitar is mix of Fishman and Lr Baggs.
Added to that is 5 Donner pedals. Brilliant.. live.. studio..and home . Really can't fault Donner build quality, sonic response.
I'm a new convert, U don't have to pay $300 for Lr Baggs chorus, Tutti love equal for purpose at $50.. IV owned 70s ts9 od.. rat distortion Donner equivalent sonic a/b.. Dark mouse has standard rat and later turbo rat toggle switche. $50!!

Easy use, good construction ,

This is a great little pedal. It does much more than I expected it to. Although the screen is small it guides you every step of the way to loop with confidence. In addition, you can save what you write to the computer.
Matt B.
Love this pedal - great value with lots of features, and a great look. The ability to both view the length of the loop on the screen and undo an overdub are invaluable. Being able to sync the loops with the in-built drums is also very handy.
John H.
I am extremely happy with my purchase of the Donner Circle Looper. I watch numerous reviews by others prior to my purchase & they were all very happy with the pedal & I agree fully with their ratings. It has so many great features and all at a good value purchase price.
Donner Music Australia were fantastic to deal with. Thank you very much.
Les S.
Easy to use and sounds pretty darn good also.

This is my first Looper pedal so I cannot compare it to other models. It has 40 memory channels and each channel can hold up to 4 minutes of music. This is also a stereo Looper however I have only used it in mono. The device also has 100 different drum styles to play with. In my situation I just use the on board metronome to record some guitar music, when I play it back, I then select a drum style that is suitable. In my opinion when you consider price vs features/benefits this would have to be the best Looper pedal in the World.
Keith V.
Really shocked how good it was. The screen really allows you to track your loops and makes it easier to use. I like that it has three banks.
Eunice J.
This looper is great. You do have to buy a power cord for it but that’s normal for most pedals.
Abra L.
Great little looper! Once you get the hang of it, it's pretty easy to use. Signal is clean and true bypass does not affect tone at all.
Bryan D.
After watching a few videos, I wanted to give looping a try, and this was an affordable choice.
Jorge D.
The looks, the form factor, the performance, the sound quality are all top notch.
Megan P.
Three different channels for storing recordings, with each channel able to store a hefty 30 minutes of playback.
Donald L.
This little box does exactly what it is designed for. Having the ability to have 3 slots of 30 minutes each is unheard of at this price.
John E.
Simple and very useful. I needed a way to practice lead over rhythm and this does the trick. It’s also nice for playing a loop while I dial in my sound with my effects pedals and amp settings.
Craig D.
Works vert well, incredible for the Price. Having a lot of fun with it
Darin S.
Good solid case. Easy to use. Slight delay on playback but manageable. Good size for a small board.
Daniel P.
Fantastic loop pedal, with easy-to-use and intuitive controls. I mostly use this to make loops with my tuba (through a mic and some other effects pedals) and keyboards. No complaints at all.
Jon S. s.
you get a looper that can save 40 loops, a drum machine with 100 different drum patterns and 10 metronome patters with adjustable BPM. You can adjust the volume on the drum and loop individually, overdub on each loop, with fade in.
You absolutely cannot go wrong with this loop station. It does everything the $500 boss / electro-harmonics loop stations do for a fraction of the cost.
Do yourself a favor and get this pedal.
Natalye Bertrand D.
My family purchased the Circle Looper from Donner mainly for its features it promised. The pedal offers an integrated drum machine sampler to play along with. The pedal also has many presets of effects, recording storage, and USB capability to import/export.
It didn't disappoint at all. My boys are 7 and 11 and are able to work the pedal without much fiddling around! I'm a Donner believer! Shipping and communication with seller was a pleasurable experience!
Frank D.
I decided to try this new pedal from Donner as I was looking for a drum/looper combo pedal.
First, it came extremely well packaged as you can see in one of my pics. It’s made of metal, with a nice fit&finish, and definitely looks like a quality product. The two main switches are smooth to use and the two menu control pots easy to use.
It took me some.time to get used to the different function switches, but overall, I can say it’s intuitive, easy to use without the owner manual!
ND S.
This really is a unique pedal. It's a looper, with a drum machine built in - both functions can be used together or independently. Other loopers have a few mediocre drum beats you can enable (even Boss RC-3 only has 10 options), while the Circle Looper has 100 drum patterns available in various styles.
SayCheeseAndDie S.
I’m consistently impressed with Donner. Excellent looper for the price!
Madden D.
The looper function and sounds is great! The preset drums are very basic, but sounds great! And the added function of downloading tracks makes that a non-issue. Love this!
Jamnotjelly D.
If you want to venture into the world of drum machines and loopers but don't want to make a huge cash risk, this pedal is the way to go. It's a looper at a discount price, but it is not a discount looper.
Two button controls are worlds easier to utilize than single button and the added LED display is a huge upgrade over the blinking light on most pedals. The drum machine isn't studio quality but it isn't too shabby either (except the kick sound on the metal options, those ten really suck, but that one small flaw isn't worth taking away a star).
Spoogo P.
It is a quite good sounding pedal comparable to Boss and Digitech ones. I have been looking for this 2 in 1 with professional quality in design and this is the one. Very happy that it also has a USB, so I can load up backing tracks, arrangements, or whatever you can jam with. Once you get past learning curve it could become one of your musical BF.
Albert
Well at first I had second thoughts but after I got the Donna regulated ACDC adapter what you really need for this device otherwise it's hard to power it on but once that's there it works like a charm I'm using the the drum machine kit that's built into this you got a hundred drum sound effects but it's in stereo and you can you can save them and you can change the speed the tempo you can do a lot of things with it I mean it's a looper so you have a lot of features on this and with my mixer is great I'm happy with this.

This thing has 40 different tracks you can loop on, with unlimited overdubbing, which is just awesome. You can use it to do solo jam sessions, or use a few tracks to throw down licks or bits of songs that you're working on. I noticed no loss of quality of the sound, including with multiple effects running (reverb, delay, and chorus are my usual).
The drum machine has 100 different beats from 10 genres to choose from with various time signatures, and an additional 10 metronome beats. My only knock on the drum machine was only having two 3/4 beats to choose from (one in Pop and one in Fusion, and then the 3/4 metronome), and when I gave this feedback to Donner, they immediately said they would mention it to their production team.
The pedal is sturdy, knobs feel good, and the clicking foot pedals are easy to use.
As an added bonus, Donner is very good about staying in touch and seeking open feedback.

This thing is pretty great, I must say. I am impressed. I have owned a couple of Donner pedals before. I still use their TubeDrive overdrive pedal that is pretty killer (especially for 25 bucks). I also owned their original looper, that was essentially a white Ditto looper, but it quit working after a few months.
I was hesitant to try this, but I had been seeing signs of a company trying to rebrand and step things up a notch. Also, you can't get these features in a looper unless you pay close to twice as much. After messing with this for a bit, I must say I am impressed. The build quality (especially the switches) is better than the old pedals that have been discontinued. The printed designs look of better quality, and the digital display is very nice. The knobs are solid.
Fairly easy to use. Didn't need the manual much except to explain how to slave the drum machine to the loop, and it also explains the software interface.
It sounds great and is a cool practice buddy. 100 beats to choose from (including plain metronomes). 40 memory bank presets to save on. The two knobs allow you to easily toggle either loop or beat settings independently. You can either use the drum machine independently or slave it to the looper. If you slave it to the loop before recording a track, you actually get a count off. It's awesome!
The digital display is clean and easy to see. Very nice all the way around.
Stereo inputs/outputs are truly independent. Line 1 and 2 are dedicated to outputs 1 and 2, respectively.
Comes in a nice box and brings a USB cable. Great deal!
