The Looper in the M9 gives you up to 28 seconds of mono recording
time at normal speed, or 56 seconds at half speed. Your loop will always
run in mono, even if you’re running stereo FX.
To begin, press and hold the TAP / Hold for Looper footswitch.
Your TAP LED will now stay on. When in Loop mode you can
still use TAP to set FX tempo and speed - you just won’t have the
LED flashing in time for reference.
Press REC/ODUB to start recording your loop. You can press
REC/ODUB again to immediately end your loop and begin
recording as many overdubs as you’d like, or...
Press PLAY/STOP to continue the loop without recording. You
can still jam over your loop. It just won’t be overdubbed into your
loop. Press again to stop the loop playback.
PLAY ONCE can be pressed from stop or during playback, to
cause play to end when the loop completes.
Hit a bad note? You can press UNDO/REDO to discard your last
overddub. This is also handy if you just want to remove your last
overdub momentarily. Press UNDO/REDO again to recall the
discarded overdub.
Step on HALF SPEED while in playback mode and your loop
will now play back in half speed. Start a new loop in half speed
when you need additional loop time - up to 56 seconds.
The REV footswitch sets your playback to reverse. Reverse can-
not be engaged during record - doing so will immediately stop
recording and start playback of your loop in reverse.
Press and hold TAP to exit Loop Mode.
Using FX while looping
Any effects you have on when entering Looper mode will remain in
your signal path. To change your FX Units or Switch Scenes during
looping press and hold TAP to exit loop mode, make your selections and
then press and hold TAP to return to Loop mode. Setting your looper
to “ PRE ” will apply FX to your guitar signal only. In the Setup Menu
setting the looper to “ POST ” will apply FX to your loop recording and
your guitar signal.
Looper Setup
To view and edit setup options for your Looper functionality you’ll need
to access the setup screen. First, make sure you are in normal opera-
tion - if you are currently in looper mode press and hold TAP to exit.
Now simultaneously press 1B + 2B to enter setup then press the model
encoder until you see this screen:

of your loop. OVERDUB adjusts the level of each overdub pass from
0dB to -20dB. LO CUT and HI CUT eq filters affect your recorded and
looped audio only.

memory A of FX Unit 1 ), those adjustments are retained as you switch
away to a different A / B memory and back again—no save function is
