Loop pedal for bass

Hi, Does anyone have recommendations for looper pedals that work well with bass?      Would a looper designed for guitar be any good or are there any companies out there that make bass specific loop devices.                                          I’ve tried Google but, for me, Google has not been my friend with this. Any advice or suggestions greatly appreciated.

cheers

Either way. No there aren't any bass specific loopers I've ever come across.

 

Most loopers (recording loopers or signal loops) are signal transparent an can be used with any instrument. 

 

Bit of advice if doing loop recording, cut the bass eq a bit on input. It can otherwise get very muddy after just 2 layers of loop. Treble and mids sit in the mix much better.

I have the Ditto X2. It is fine and is fairly transparent. The new plus version is really good. The X2 though takes up quite a lot of pedal board real estate, but to me it is worth it for a designated 'start' and 'stop' buttons!

I did a loop on a recent album where I had a bass tuned to drop C and there was no issues in terms of transparency or loss of bass signal when I was recording and the signal chain for that was just bass - Flashback X4 - Ditto - interface. Sounded great, apart from the actual playing.
