The Sheeran Looper X is a high-end workstation developed in collaboration with inMusic Brands and the HeadRush engineering team to provide the specific live-looping functionality used by Ed Sheeran in stadium performances. Built as the flagship model for the newly launched Sheeran Loopers brand, the unit focuses on a streamlined workflow through its intuitive 7-inch multi-touch display and precision-engineered die-cast aluminum pedals. The hardware grants users the ability to tailor their performance setup with a built-in chromatic tuner and a professional Multi FX engine. Ed Sheeran designed this equipment alongside his production team to bring his signature touring technology directly to consumers.

Retailing for $1,199 USD, the stand-alone workstation offers a robust build and powerful routing options tailored for serious musicians. The device provides 32-bit audio powered by HeadRush FX technology alongside real-time waveform rendering and metering. Performers receive visual cues through an RGB LED performance feedback system to maintain precise timing during complex track structures. The hardware offers significant flexibility for one-man-band arrangements through an impressive array of professional input and output connections. Users can also manage massive audio libraries using the expandable SD card storage and integrated USB audio capabilities.

To cater to street performers and traveling musicians, the brand released the highly portable Sheeran Looper + alternative. The compact $299 USD pedal retains the core die-cast aluminum construction found on the premium model while incorporating a full-color LCD screen. The entry-level unit includes microphone and instrument connectivity along with battery power options for off-grid busking. By packaging stadium-grade software into accessible consumer products, the company provides a rare opportunity for independent artists to replicate the massive solo soundscapes that defined modern pop touring over the past decade.
