About Us
About MikeLoop:
It all began in 1992, when Michael had his first encounter with a loop machine. The Paradis Loop Delay, a prototype that would soon become the Echoplex Digital Pro, mesmerized him right away. Michael has worked with loops ever since. He started out with hardware, combining guitar effect pedals, loop machines and multi effect devices. By the early 2000s he was tired of carrying big flight cases around the planet, so he decided to switch to software in the early 2000s. By 2007 MikeLoop was born. When Michael and Fabian met at the Moers Festival in 2013 they decided to transfer MikeLoop to the iPad and thus make it available to everybody.
