This is a small, simple but very useful looper. It actually can do everything I expected from a looper is easy to use and even some more. For example you can play your loop and half speed and in reverse. I am not sure what I would use it for, but why not?

Ignore the naysayers who are putting it down because it's not X brand or made by Y manufacturer because this item DOES work and it works very well. I love mine. It's a lot of fun to jam to and play leads with. 5 out of 5 stars.

I’ve been looking to add a looper to my pedal board but I didn’t want to spend a lot of money. Seeing that Donner had a new looper in the same small form factor of the other more expensive looper, I knew I had to get the Beltway.

It is incredibly fun to use, comes with great instructions, and the usb file transfer is very useful. This

Use this for laying down backing tracks for practice. Would highly recommend for that purpose.

The pedal is small and takes up very little room on my pedal board, which I think is great for a looper.

I haven’t tried the usb input yet, but the functionality of this looper is solid, does what its advertised and I couldn’t be happier.

No delay in the loops which is the most important part. Solid housing and great input and output jacks with no wiggle or looseness. Light has two colors to show playing recording and overdub and is plenty bright. The dip switch has two alternate modes, reverse and half time and the knob is useful to control the output volume from the pedal. A lot of value in a little pedal!

The pedal itself works like a dream. I’ve had zero issues with it. The pedal is super easy to learn how to use and comes with instructions on what the different colors and flashing of lights mean. The volume knob works great and I love the reverse and half speed functions on this pedal. It’s just so simple!
Overall, I love this mini pedal and would recommend it to anyone. The simplicity and quality is unmatched at this price. I am also a huge Donner fan. Donner has amazing customer service and actually reached out to me to see if the pedal was working like it should.

This pedal is amazing, that’s all I can say. I am a Donner fan already as I have their standard beginner electric guitar kit and a few cables. These are also wonderful products and I would recommend them to anyone.
When I received the package, I was immediately impressed with the packaging and presentation of the pedal for the price.

I've been using this pedal for about 3 months now, and it has been working great. My boss DS-2 broke, so I figured I'd replace it with a cheaper option. I have no regrets on this purchase, and its been working great for what I need. The pedal is small and takes up very little room on my pedal board, which I think is great for a looper. Its an aluminum frame, and is very sturdy. I haven't used the USB feature yet, and probably never will, but its there if anyone would want it. Highly Recommend this looper.

This is great for practicing, song writing, as well as performing. It will require a center-negative 9v power supply like most other pedals.
The LED Is very bright at any angle which is important and helpful.
The price is right for buying more than one and stacking them for incredible loops and song building.

This pedal is like most other loopers. Plug in, play, tap to record and tap to stop and there it is. Your guitar, bass or vocal part is looping.
The sound is very clean, no distortion or button clicks. The button, jacks, switches and volume knob, and importantly the case is solid and sturdy.

I love this pedal. I have wanted one for a long time but most of them are very cost prohibitive. Along comes Donner with their under half of what the other guys want pedal. It is about 1/4 of the size of my other pedals. It holds up to 10 minutes of recording, with infinite re-do's and overdubs. It plays at 1/2, full speed and reverse. It is very simplistic and intuitive. 1 knob, 1 switch and 1 toggle. It comes with a USB cable for transferring in and out of the computer. It feels heavy and of good quality in your hand. I can't believe it took me this long to find this pedal. The day it came I burnt up a whole afternoon playing with this thing.

I've been looking for a looper pedal for months now and decided to give this one a try. I've used Donner pedals before in the past and have been happy with them so I assumed this would be of similar quality. I was right. The pedal is made of metal and has a nice weight to it, it feels like a quality piece.

Okay so I’ve had the Donner Beltway Looper pedal for a week now and let me begin by saying this pedal was everything I thought it would be and more. This is a perfect pedal to play loops and create music. The pedal itself feels very sturdy and the quality is great. Donner does a great job with their mini pedals. This looper allows you to record and loop easily, then play over your loops. You can also record loops on top of loops which makes it even more versatile when playing music. The pedal comes with an instruction manual that explains the indicator LED colors and how to record loops. You can use the switch for 3 speed settings on loops: normal, 1/2 speed, and reverse, which is pretty awesome. There’s a max recording time of 10 minutes which is more than enough for me. What surprised me most is that this pedal has a USB jack and built-in memory, which allowed me to transfer any loops or “tracks” I had saved to my laptop. You can even import audio files in .wav format which allows you to explore even more sounds. I use this pedal to practice and play solo parts over simple riffs, and it’s been great. It’s easy to set-up and easy to use. Donner did a great job on this looper pedal!

I’ve been looking at adding a looper pedal to my pedal board for sometime, but they can be pretty pricey. Then I saw this one on Amazon. While it’s still about $20 more than some of Donner’s other pedals, it was definitely within my budget so I ordered it. I couldn't wait to plug it in and try out my new toy. But, a toy this is NOT. It’s build is sturdy medal and well constructed. But does it sound good? YES. Is it easy to use? YES. As this is my first looper pedal, it took me a total of less than five minutes to figure out all the pedals functions thanks to the included manual which has a chart of what the LED indicates. I mainly wanted to try out the reverse function which is why I purchased this pedal in the first place, and it does not disappoint.
I would recommend the Beltway Looper by Donner if you’re just getting into looper pedals, like me, or if you’re looking for a great addition to your live perfromance pedal board.

This pedal comes with a USB cord to hook up to a computer for downloading/uploading tracks. I found a website and using the directions I was able to download a drum track to use with no problem. The only issue that you will run into here is making sure you have a power source to power the pedal during your computer time. The last thing I did with the pedal was to put together a small 3-track loop, and then as if it was the greatest thing I had ever created I uploaded it to my computer. I am very pleased with the functionality of this pedal, Donner continues to make affordable, useful products that make creating music easy and fun. If you are looking for an easy-to-use, mini-looper with plenty of space, The Donner Beltway Looper is for you!

Like any Donner Pedal you order, the 1st thing you will notice is that The Beltway Looper comes in a nice-looking, protective container. It's insulated with foam, has complete directions, and even includes some cool decals if you are in to that. I have to wear reading glasses to read the directions, but they are simple and straight-forward so not a big deal. I'm new to Looper Pedals, so I did a little homework 1st and that made using this pedal simple. As you can see by my pedal board photo I applied it to the end of my "Donner Pedal" chain to take advantage of all the effects pedals I have. Since this is a "Nano" or mini-size pedal, there is no 9-volt battery slot, my Donner Power Supply worked just fine.
The key to using a Looper pedal is to know what you want to loop, and then practice it a few times. Once you have it you tap the pedal in time and the indicator light turns red to show you are recording. Tap again at the end and the light turns green, and your loop is now playing through your source...Simple! As a training aid this is great, you can loop a simple chord progression or bass riff, and then do whatever you want with the loop. If you aren't happy with it just hold down the button and erase the loop. Or, tap the pedal again and now you are overdubbing another track on top of the 1st, I looped 3 tracks on top of each other with no problem. When erasing you hold down the button and erase the last track you looped. Donner says there is enough on-board memory to fill 10 minutes, it may be a while before I hit that threshold. There is a switch for Normal, 1/2 speed, and reverse play, to add more functionality to the pedal. There is also a volume switch on the pedal that is very useful to add or reduce the volume of your loop independent of the volume of your source.
