The EXH 45000 Stereo Multi-Track looper offers four individual tracks for each loop. You can even mix loops down and save them to removable SDHC cards.

The Electro-Harmonix 45000 Stereo Multi-Track Looper Pedal is a loop station worthy of the modern age, but with vintage style. With an integrated multi-track stereo recording system, EHX's upgraded looper offers everything you need to capture, playback, and mix up to four loops simultaneously -- with a Mixdown function to let you "bounce" or combine multiple tracks into one in real time. It's equipped with a modern SDHC card slot, so you can store up to 32 GB of audio -- over 16 hours! -- and up to 100 samples per card. And like all EHX stompboxes, it comes in a sturdy metal chassis that's designed to withstand years of heavy gigging.

Reggie Watts talks about and demonstrates the EHX 45000:


Versatile Control for Street, Stage or Studio

The Electro-Harmonix 45000 is designed with the versatility to match a variety of playing styles, and therefore sports different control options. At its simplest, the 45000 is a standalone loop station and multi-track recorder. If you're a stage musician or street artist, you'll probably want to pick up the Electro-Harmonix 45000 Foot Controller -- an add-on foot pedal for the 45000 that makes managing multiple loops and tracks a breeze. And for studio artists, the 45000 offers MIDI input and output. Most functions on the 45000 can be controlled via MIDI, and this pedal can also be used as a MIDI clock to control other devices or sync with your existing MIDI clock.

Expanded Memory on SDHC Cards

Electro-Harmonix takes its loop station read more to the next level with the 45000. With up to 16 times as much recording space as its predecessor, the EHX 2880, the 45000 boasts a recording time of over two hours out of the box -- and over 16 hours of audio when upgraded with a 32 GB SDHC card (sold separately).

Built to Last

You know the old saying, "They don't make 'em like they used to"? Well, at Electro-Harmonix, they still do. EXH has been producing American-made analog foot pedals in robust, metal chassis for decades, always going the extra mile to maintain the original product specifications. Therefore, if you're looking for a sturdy loop station with amazing sound and vintage style, the Electro-Harmonix 45000 Stereo Multi-Track Looper Pedal is the way to go.

Loop speed is adjustable over a two octave range, and reverse recording and playback are also possible. A built-in metronome goes to a separate Monitor Out for extra convenience and a Headphone Out is also included.

Easily the best looper on the market! The functionality is like an old school four track, making it very easy to use....You can also make loops as long as you like, provided you have room on the SD card that plugs into the side. There are also TON of MIDI options, quantize record so your bars are the same length, punch in to fix mistakes, a stereo mode, You can also patch the output over to the input to accomplish bounce recording as well with the possibility of ten recorded tracks in playback! Awesome!!! All that plus all metal construction, very durable! I am completely in love with this item! If you found boss loopers to be clunky and a little hard to use, like I did, switch to the 45000~you won't be disappointed. Also make sure you have the 45000 foot controller or a device that maps MIDI to get the most out of this incredible piece of gear. Have a nice day!
