1. Introducció
The MOOER MLP2 Groove Loop is a compact effects pedal designed to integrate both a micro looper and a micro drummer into a single unit. This device allows musicians to create and layer loops while simultaneously playing along with various drum grooves. Both the looper and drummer functions can be operated independently or synchronized for a cohesive performance. The synchronized mode ensures the recorded loop aligns with the selected drum pattern, aided by an introductory click for precise timing.
This manual provides comprehensive instructions for setting up, operating, and maintaining your MOOER MLP2 Groove Loop pedal.
