The Walrus Audio Xero Polylooper redefines live looping with two fully independent stereo channels, offering unprecedented creative control for performers and composers. Each channel provides 3-minute recording, unlimited overdubs, and real-time manipulation via speed adjustment (0.5x–2x), reverse playback, and individual panning.

Here are some of the pedal’s most intriguing features.

  • Intuitive Gesture Control:
    • Tap/hold/double-press footswitches for recordingundospeed FX, and channel toggling
    • External dual-stomp compatibility for simultaneous multi-channel control
  • Three Sync Modes:
    • Sync: Time-aligned loops
    • Unsynced: Independent lengths
    • Poly: Polyrhythms (3:4, 5:7) with MIDI clock support
  • Performance-Ready Visuals:
    • Multicolor LEDs for instant status feedback (recording, playback, FX)
    • Auto-bypass when idle preserves dry signal

Advanced Integration

  • Stereo I/O with per-channel panning
  • 1/8″ MIDI In/Thru (Type A) for sync/remote control
  • USB-C for firmware updates

The Xero excels at complex layering and on-the-fly remixing, bridging the gap between live improvisation and studio precision. Whether crafting polyrhythmic textures or practice loops, its gesture-based workflow eliminates menu-diving.

A game-changer for loop artists seeking flexibility without complexity.
