Looptrotter Monster

Looptrotter's debut product is a snarling beast of a processor that's one of a kind. Like the paint job, the effect won't be to everyone's taste, and it won't get used on every source — but if you work in rock, pop, electro or any one of a whole range of urban genres, I can't imagine you not finding a use for it and being happy with the results! This thing is dripping with a dirty, distorted character that's quite literally music to my ears. Balancing that with the more mundane yet useful features, such as matched components on each channel and detented, I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending that you audition this processor.
