How does “live looping” work in these Youtube videos I see from crazy talented solo artists who play multiple instruments in the same song?

The extent of my AV experience consisted of trying to make mixed tapes back in the day, so watching someone doing live looping in a video seems like black magic and I’m intensely curious about how it works.

Back in the day, you had to do some madness with a pair of reel-to-reel tape machines. These days, you just get a pedal. You click the button where you want to start the loop and then click where it ends and then it repeats. You can get way more complicated with it (more tracks, etc.), but that’s the basics.
