Yes.

Nothing more complex to it than that. Can OD on specs until your eyeballs feel like they're bathing in acid. Only way to really famil with actually using a looper is to buy one and use it hands on.

I have two loopers. A Ditto clone (Kokko SOS) and a Boss RC3 clone (NUX Loop Core). I prefer and use the Loop Core most. Loopers just 'see' the guitar input signal, and amps the looper output signal, so both work equally well with electric or e-acoustic.

Effects pedals of course work fine with loopers, but are dependent upon the input stage design of your amp as to how it handles them.
