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.

They have a device with an input (sometimes even multiple) and an output.
On the tap of a button that devices records the input.
On second tap of the button the device stops recording and loops what it recorded.
For multiple instruments those devices can switch between different layers to record/loop.
