The NUX HOOK Drum and Loop is a mini looper pedal with auto tempo detection. Simply record a phrase loop, then add a synchronized drumbeat. Or, use the included Smart Tap Tempo and play the drumbeat, then start to record the phrase loop. The HOOK is intelligent and simple to operate.

When recording your phrase loop, you can choose Normal Recording or Auto Recording. Normal Recording is like a regular looper pedal—while you press the footswitch, it starts to record immediately. When in Auto Recording mode, press the footswitch to record arm the looper. HOOK will start recording once it detects your guitar signal. This is convenient while you put the HOOK on the desk, and you can use your hand instead of your foot to operate it.

Even without the phrase loop, the HOOK can be used as a drumbeat with Smart Tap Tempo. It offers 11 drumbeat styles with high-quality sound samples, and useful rhythms for practice.

The HOOK features 24-bit/44.1kHz recording resolution and six minutes recording time with unlimited overdubs. It’s true-bypass and analog dry-through. The drumbeats and loop playback are independent, which means you can stop the loop and keep the drumbeat playing. Replay the phrase loop as you want.

The HOOK also includes a phone out jack for silent practice. Additionally, you can export your phrase loop WAV file through the HOOK app.
