Since the 2010s, many musicians use [[digital hardware]] and software devices to create and modify loops, often in conjunction with various electronic musical effects. A loop can be created by a looper pedal, an effect pedal device that records the signal from a guitar or other audio source and then plays the recorded passage over and over again.{{sfn|Equipboard staff|2018}} |
