The immensely popular Infinity Looper pedal from Pigtronix is now more powerful than ever, boasting significant upgrades via the launch of its 2.0 firmware, as well as an interactive tutorial and support web site.

On top of these major feature upgrades, Pigtronix has implemented numerous customer-requested workflow upgrades to realize the full power of this looping platform.
