If you’re a looping enthusiast, live performer, or sonic experimenter looking to push boundaries, the Walrus Audio Xero Polylooper might just be the creative tool you’ve been waiting for. the Walrus Audio Xero Polylooper is a true bypass, dual-channel stereo looper pedal loaded with high-performance features, real-time control, and a refreshingly intuitive interface.
Designed with performers in mind, the Walrus Audio Xero Polylooper gives you two fully independent loop channels, each offering up to 3 minutes of looping, unlimited overdubs, and controls for volume, pan, speed (0.5x/1x/2x), and reverse playback. Stack loops together for lush compositions, or run them independently to build textured soundscapes in real time.
What sets the Walrus Audio Xero Polylooper apart is its natural-feeling stomp control system. Tap or hold the left and right footswitches to record, playback, undo, stop, trigger speed FX, or clear loops – no menu diving, no memorizing complex sequences. And if you want even more control, plug in an external dual-stomp switch to break out commands across both channels.
Choose between three powerful looping modes:
- Sync Mode: Keeps loops locked to the first one recorded
- Unsynced Mode: Record loops of varying lengths on each channel
- Poly Mode: Create polyrhythms with time divisions like 3:4 or 5:7—ideal for experimental textures (with full MIDI clock support)
With its vivid LED color feedback system, the Xero lets you see loop status, playback direction, and speed FX clearly – even in dark venues. LEDs also change color based on loop speed and effect type, ensuring you’re never guessing what’s happening underfoot.
Want to flip loops backwards or slow them down mid-performance? Engage the Speed FX mode to activate half, normal, or double speed, or flip playback in reverse—and it all syncs perfectly in time when using Sync or Poly modes. Connectivity is equally forward-thinking:
- True relay bypass ensures no tone coloration
- Stereo I/O with independent panning
- 1/8” MIDI In/Thru (Type A) for syncing and full MIDI CC control
- USB-C for firmware updates via Chrome on Mac or Windows
Use it to practice, perform, or create—whether you’re stacking harmonies, building ambient loops, or flipping riffs in reverse, the Walrus Audio Xero Polylooper gives you creative control without friction.
