New Dual Channel Stereo Looper Pedal

Walrus Audio introduces the Xero Polylooper   29-Jul-25

Walrus Audio has announced the release of the Xero Polylooper, a true bypass, dual-channel stereo looper that they say fully explores the creative possibilities of multiple loop channels, providing a rich and unique feature set for how multiple loops can interact. Here's more of what they have to say about it..

With two fully independent loop channels, playback speed and direction control, and three flexible loop modes, the Xero Polylooper is a performance-ready tool that pushes looping into new dimensions. Built with Walrus Audio's acclaimed design ethos and powered by the advanced and proprietary MDSP Module, the Xero makes complex looping intuitive, visual, and inspiring

The Xero features three different modes to experience all new ways of creating, building, and interacting with loops:

• SYNCED MODE - Locks both channels to the same length and time base, but allows for independent level, effects, and playback control. This mode is great for classic looper functionality with convenient channel strip style controls for separate looped elements.
• UNSYNCED MODE - Allows both channels to operate with fully independent time bases, allowing loops to organically drift in and out of sync with one another. Great for creating unpredictably shifting ambient pads, perfect for anyone using pedals for ambient sound design.
• POLYRHYTHMIC MODE - Allows the user to record loops of different lengths that share a common time base, meaning they will stay rhythmically synced in time. This allows the user to record a 3 beat pattern against a 4 beat pattern (or any other polyrhythmic division), a short phrase against a long phrase, or a long phrase against a short phrase. In this mode, the recorded loop lengths will automatically quantize to a multiple of the shared time division relative to the first recorded "base" loop.

 

With its two independent loop channels, each offering its own set of speed effects to manipulate, players can stack near- infinite loops with independent volume, stereo panning, variable playback speed of 0.5x, 1x, and 2x, as well as forward and reverse playback options.

Physical UI and MIDI interface both allow for fully independent or synced simultaneous control of the looper channels. MIDI clock can also be sent to the pedal for ultra-precise timing. An external footswitch jack also allows further control breakout.

The Xero is available in a textured beige or matte black aluminum enclosure. The die-cast enclosure's size is 4.6" x 3.9" x 2.3" including jacks.
