Title: Ditto Looper makes loud noise from hell.
Post by: Chorch Cluni on January 18, 2026, 02:56:53 PM
So... I plugged my Ditto Looper and it went crazy noisey.
The recorded loop can be heard way back under this sound that reminds me of launching a rocket to the moon.

I did the factory reset. I updated the firmware. I contacted TC Electronic support.
I checked for loose contacts.
I cleaned pots and inputs.
I also tried different power supplies in different locations.

It's all in vain.

From customer support I was directed to the importer, but I have no money to pay for a possible fix, in this days.

Any suggestion?.

Unfortunately it sounds to me like a hardware failure in either the processor or memory side of things.  Hopefully someone else has some other ideas.

Unfortunately, TC has zero support. If it is out of warranty you buy a new one.

Ok... So sad, since I'm Argentinian, just like El Diego of the People. That means, as Donald Trump said, that I can't even afford a piece of glass for my window. Which is absolutely true, by the way.
