NUX NDL-3 Hook Drum & Loop Pedal Effects

The HOOK Drum & Loop (NDL-3) is a mini looper pedal with auto tempo detection. Simply record a phrase loop, then add a synchronized drumbeat. Or you can use the included Smart Tap Tempo and play the drumbeat, then start to record the phrase loop. The HOOK is intelligent and simple to operate.

When recording your phrase loop, you can choose Normal Recording or Auto Recording. Normal Recording (NR) is like regular looper pedal, while you press the footswitch, it starts to record immediately.

When in Auto Recording (AR) mode, press the footswitch to record arm the looper. HOOK will start recording once it detects your guitar signal. This is convenient while you put the HOOK on the desk, and you can use your hand instead of your foot to operate it.

The HOOK features 24-bit/44.1kHz recording resolution and 6 minutes recording time with unlimited overdubs. It is true-bypass and analog dry-through. The drumbeats and loop playback are independent, which means that you can stop the loop and keep the drum beat playing. Re-play the phrase loop as you want. The HOOK also includes a PHONES out jack! We know lots of musicians love to use pedals, and they sometimes need silent practice! And finally, you can export your phrase loop WAV file through HOOK APP, please download it from the HOOK product page.
