Walrus Audio Xero

Xero Polylooper The Xero Polylooper is a true-bypass, dual-channel looping powerhouse with independent loop control per channel, stereo panning, variable playback speed, reverse playback, three looping modes and intuitive stomp buttons. The Xero is your new partner for endless new song ideas, practicing licks or building layers on stage. Built-in gestures keep you in control without menus or tap-dances. Need more control? Connect an external dual footswitch for full control of both channels - ideal for live performers and loop-heavy setups. The Xero has true relay bypass - once no loops are active, the pedal automatically turns itself off to keep your original sound completely intact. Two Loop Channels, Fully Independent Control Xero gives you two independent loop channels—each with its own: Loop up to 3 minutes with near infinite stacking of loops Unlimited overdubs Volume and Pan controls Playback speed (0.5x / 1x / 2x) Reverse playback option You can loop on each channel individually or stack them together to build complex, layered compositions—all in real time. Play Naturally. Control Effortlessly. The Xero's dual stomp switches keep loop control fast and intuitive: Tap the left stomp switch to record and playback loops Hold the left stomp to undo Tap the right stomp switch to stop loop playback Hold the right stomp for speed FX Double-press both switches to toggle channel control Double-hold to trigger full stop or full erase With built-in gestures, you stay in control without menu-diving or complex tap dances. Need even more control? Plug in an external dual-stomp switch to simultaneously take full command of both channels—perfect for live performers and loop-centric setups. Looping Modes Built for Any Workflow Switch between three flexible loop sync modes: Sync Mode – Keeps all loops time-aligned to the first recorded loop Unsynced Mode – Let each channel record loops of completely independent lengths Poly Mode – Create polyrhythms using shared time divisions (3:4, 5:7, etc.) for interlocking textures (Supports MIDI clock for precision syncing) Visual Feedback That Keeps You Locked In Each channel has its own multicolor LED system showing: Red, Green, and White for recording and playback controls Cyan, Pink, Yellow, and Blue LEDs for different speed effects Channel Control Status via dedicated red LEDs Instantly know what's happening—no guesswork needed, even mid-performance. Speed FX & Direction Controls Want to flip your loop upside down or twist it in time? Activate Speed FX to unlock: Half / Normal / Double speed Reverse playback - Each channel’s playback behavior can be manipulated independently, letting you remix on the fly. FX activation syncs to loop start in Sync and Poly modes, ensuring accurate timing Bypass That Listens The Xero features true relay bypass—when no loops are active, the pedal automatically disengages, keeping your tone completely untouched.
