NUX Loop Core Stereo Looper with MIDI

For our last review and demo of 2025, we’re going to take a look at the last pedal sent over from NUX (for now, anyway) – the Loop Core Stereo Looper with MIDI. I love a good looper, and I love stereo effects, and although I’m not very good at it, MIDI fascinates me, so what more could I want? An awesome pedal with awesome options and awesome sounds, this yellow pedal has a built-in drum machine, several connectivity options and a whole lot more on tap…

The NUX Loop Core Stereo is NUX’ next generation Looper pedal. Featuring a high-definition color LCD display, stereo inputs/outputs, and a MIDI control input, the Loop Core Stereo allows you to create up to 6 hours of music phrases, save them in one of 99 provided memory slots, and play back as stereo loops! Also included are 50 different drum patterns to complete the looping experience. Whether you practice, compose, or play live gigs, you’ll be inspired from the very first loop!

It’s easy to create loops and practice with the NUX Loop Core Stereo. Power on the Loop Core Stereo pedal, rotate the VALUE knob to select an empty memory from 01 ~ 99, then you can press the foot switch to record/play/dub your loops. You can also hold the foot switch to UNDO/REDO/CLEAR. Turn the VALUE knob to select a memory slot between 01~99 or adjust parameters. When you are working on loops or practicing, press the VALUE knob once/twice to adjust the volume of Loop/Drum.

Nearly every parameter of the Loop Core Stereo can be controlled by an external MIDI controller, such as tap tempo, stop/start/record, and so much more. There’s a MIDI to 1/8” cable is included to get you started quickly. The Loop Core Stereo even allows users to customize their own boot-up picture with a GIF.

Looping on its own can be so much fun, as well as a useful practice tool…but, once you throw some drums in there, magical new worlds open up with ease. The stereo connectivity here with the Loop Core really adds another level of creativity to be explored, letting you run just about any kind of signal chain you want before this pedal. I’ve had a blast demoing and writing more about the Core Series from NUX, and can’t to check out more of their gear in 2026. Be sure to visit their website, peruse ALL of the amazing effects they have to offer, and head to YouTube for our sweet demo video for the Loop Core Stereo Looper…see you all next year, have a safe and wonderful holiday!!! – Mike
