NUX JTC Drum and Looper Pro NDL-5 Pedal

If you are a committed solo performer or in a small combo, the JTC Drum and Looper NDL-5 pedal is made for you. With six hours of 24-bit recording time you can preload a hefty song list of tracks and retrieve at the press of a button. Over 40 drum patterns (and fills) are built into the JTC Looper along with multiple start and stop modes. You can even download backing tracks to play along with, and NUX has a file format converter available from their website. 

Harder to describe than it is to use, the NDL-5 Looper Pro will add a new dimension to your act.

In the words of NUX:

JTC Pro is an advanced pedal with simplified controls. It’s a dual switch stomp box with 6 hours of recording capability and 256 loop track memories.

It has independent controls for the looper and the drum: left footswitch (LOOP) controls recording, overdub, and start/stop of the looper. This switch also features NUX  Smart TAP function, which automatically detects whether you want to control the looper or to set the tempo of the drum.

Right footswitch (RHYTHM) controls the drum and it adds drum fills during the performance. While the drum track is playing, hit the RHYTHM switch to add a drum fill and it will play until the end of the current bar. The longest drum fill is one measure (depending on 4/4 or 3/4 rhythms). If you hit the switch right on the 3rd beat, this drum fill will be 2 beats only.

There are 40 drum patterns and fills including Pop, Rock, Blues, Metal and more other styles with 3/4 and 4/4 beats.

It has very useful Start and Stop modes for making your jam sounds like an arranged song during the performance. There are 2 Start Modes and 3 Stop Modes.

And, One Shot mode is very useful for playing any loaded backing track without looping. You can load any song to play along, the supported file type is 24-bit 44.1 kHz Stereo Wave (.wav)

You can download the NUX Audio Format Converter to change the audio file format and make it compatible for JTC Pro. 

The Frequency Optimization helps you to achieve clear and dynamic drum sound of full range whether you are using a guitar amplifier, PA system or even a small practice amplifier.

You can connect the optional NUX NMP-2 control footswitch into this jack for switching phrase memories. Its seamless switching allows you to arrange different verses and choruses and play the whole song!

You can load your favorite songs and backing tracks into JTC Pro to play along. Supported file type: 24-bit/44.1kHz Stereo WAVE (.wav)

If JTC Pro can not play the song you added, you can simply use the NUX Audio Format Converter software which you’ll find on the support section to covert the file.
