So far so good. Feel like a few other options could have been added.. but for the price. I'm willing to deal with it. I'm still very satisfied with its ability to record a riff, or series of phrases that over 5 minutes.

Sound
I've heard people mention that it colors their sound muddy and such.. but I've heard no such. Plays back what I record. Sounds great through a half stack, testing new riffs.

Features
I give it a 7 because the metal clickers are a bit loud. This won't be issue if you're just playing guitar. But if you're recording vocals, or miking your amp.. it may pick it up. Also, I wish the pedal had the ability to use the record slots to turn off or turn on the loops together in real time...to layer the individual loop tracks. It only allows for one recorded loop slot to play (but you can play this loop and record over it, saving and deleting.. but only as long as the first recorded loop.)

Ease of Use
I'd say it's tricky at first. Just follow the instructions and mess with it. It comes quick after that.

Quality
It is built really well, feels solid. The only problem I have with the construction is the metal clickers, wish they were quieter.

Value
For a musician who writes, having this pedal on your board with your other effects is really handy for catching a moment/tones and archiving it. With expandable memory options, read more you can keep saving your ideas and trying things out. Having the ability to do two foot stomps and record a riff while I'm playing in stereo is pretty nice.

Manufacturer Support
So far, haven't had to call anybody. I've had it for about 2 or 3 weeks now.

The Wow Factor
It is a nice addition to my setup, indeed.
