Good but has issues
I use this for recording a loop and building up and playing over. You can practice scales over certain chords etc.
Trouble for me is when I play quietly I use a Behringer GDI-21, which is a noisy amp sim, and this pedal somehow takes the noise from that and turns it into crackling as soon as you record over it, even though that isn't the noise that goes into it.
It works with my amplifier's distortion though. However if I turn the volume way down for night time, it skips part of the playing, as if it is doing a noise gate.
I'd give this 4/5 if it worked with GDI-21
Pros
- Inexpensive
- Simple to use
- Feels sturdy
Cons
- Seems to have a noise gate at very low levels
- Crackles when you use with a noisy pedal
- Due to the crackling it doesn't seem to truly record the signal going through it
Despite the issue I intend to keep this pedal and could probably put it in front of the GDI-21 and buy a pedal for distortion which would be a helpful compromise.
Edit: after spending more using it I realise it delays the overdubs. Was never an issue with my ditto. Will have to save for ditto instead.

Could be great, but....
The build of this looper pedal is very sturdy and the price is great. The sound could be a bit better, but for this price I don't expect a premium sound anyway. However, what is making this completely unusable for me (and the reason I sold it soon after buying it) is that you have to HOLD down the pedal for ~2 second for the looping to stop! This makes it impossible to use in a live or jam setting because if the section of the song changes (eg. goes from verse to chorus), you need to be able to switch off instantly. Only buy it if you want to practice at home alone (but if you only plan to do that, a DAW might work better).

Low quality
Used it about 6 month. There were problems with timing and sample lenght. But the main problem was pushbutton. There is no chance to work for a long time... Better to choose another one. Not recomended to buy

Only for use with amps
Make no mistake, this is a lo-fi looper with audible digital noise present. Since I didn't use it with guitar and amp the noise was a bit too much for me. It is a very simple, no frills looper that can come handy if you just want to add a loop here and there, but don't expect to be able to do more serious performances on it.

begginer level looper
pros
low price
simple control
good construction
satisfactory sound performance
cons
delay after the first dub
rare but not negligible it distorts the sound (usually after hitting it very hard)
Generally it is a good pedal for a first contact with a looper. You will definately want to change it after some time using it, depend on someone's requirements. Not a pedal you will work with.

You get what you pay for.
Im not a big looper user - once in a while, when the mood hits me, you know. That's why I decided to get this one - one knob, small size and affordable prices pedal.
The issues that I have with the pedal are - once I recorded a line, I can add overdubs to it, but I can not delete it. I tried it as well with the free provided software - no result. So I have this line forever.
The second thing is the double tap is quite uncomfortable for me.
Now the pedal is in its box in the closed, unusable.
