Love this pedal. I wish I had two of them. It has already improved my soloing to play along with a loop, but more than that, it's just loads of fun. It's obviously not the greatest looper, far from it, but it's got enough features to be absolutely addictive. Especially if you like to make lots of crazy noise. If you love psychedelia, buy this. If you just want a looper, spend more on something else.
Sound
Sounds good. Some of the settings don't sound significantly different from each other, but overall the sound is nice.
Features
Feature rich. All kinds of delay options on this pedal. For the bread, you can't beat it, I don't think. I would love to be able to hold a loop of reverse delay and play over it, but you can't have everything.
Ease of Use
If you've ever used delay before, then you'll already know how to use the delays. It takes some getting used to to get the looper to time correctly. A little practice will do it, but you'll likely do it wrong once in a while. you have to let go of the switch at the exact right time. It can be a challenge.
Quality
Seems solid.
Value
For the cash I spent for a B-stock unit, I'm super pleased. Full featured delay pedal and minimally featured Loop pedal in one. I have spent hours and hours and really gotten my money's worth already.
The Wow Factor
The design is not my style, but it's not ugly or anything.
