Affordable looper with drums
The media could not be loaded. This is on the more affordable end of loopers with drum machines built in.Build quality is overall good, although I’m not a fan of the vol knobs, which look and feel cheap.The loop side functions as a typical single button looper, with 1 stomp starting recording / overdubs, double-stomp stopping playback and long hold erasing the previous recording / overdub. Nice and simple / intuitive if you’ve used one before.Where it gets interesting is the drum side, which has some basic MIDI beats (30 of them) to play along to. I had a NUX unit with looping and drums that cost twice as much. Yes, it had more storage for loops and more drum patterns but this is about 90% as useful for 50% of the cost.Recordings sound clear through my amp. The drums are punchy and the independent volumes help create a rough mix to okay along with. The drum samples are ok but occasionally sound like a Casio keyboard drum kit, and every hit is the same velocity, so it feels kinda stiff but I did manage to groove along to it.Mostly.. things are good.However.. I did come across an issue with the pedal generating a weird noise in combination with other pedals on my board. I captured it on video; should be attached to the review.Unless the pedal is in tuner mode, it’ll generate an electrical ticking noise that’s roughly in sync with the flashing LEDs on the pedal. It’s not a metronome or a feature; it’s a weird glitch. And it happens with the guitar volume rolled all the way down, so it’s not coming from the guitar.Doesn’t seem to happen unless you’re using OD pedals stacked together. But that does limit the use case a little, especially if you were planning on recording the loops. For clean and ambient loops, might be ok.Overall.. it’s still great value and I did have fun playing with it. But not sure this would be my first choice given I often use multiple pedals together.

DON'T USE THE APP!
It worked great until I downloaded the app and it insisted that I upgrade the firmware via Bluetooth... and now it is a brick. Tried everything, useless paperweight now.

A helpful practicing tool with a few caveats
To begin, practicing with a drum machine is very helpful with trying to learn how to play in the pocket more so than practicing with a metronome. There's a great benefit to learning your guitar parts in relations to the kick and snare pattern that folks seem to overlook. This little pedal is a great practicing tool that will help you improve your pocket, but like anything, there are pros and cons with this pedal.Pros:- the pedal is incredibly compact and surprisingly small considering all the features.- you can customize and make custom drum patterns on the app.- you can make custom drum patterns in odd meters 5, 7, and 9. This is not often the case in many drum machines. This is very helpful to practice a bunch of odd meter songs that had eluded me in the past.- the drum machine patterns come in 4 banks so that way you can have 4 drum patterns in a song, one for versus, one for the chorus, one for the solo section, and one for the outro. You can also record four different rhythm parts for each of the corresponding banks so you can switch up the parts for different sections of the song.- the loop recorder syncs with the drum machine tempo pretty well. This doesn't mean that you can play at 80bpm and expect the drum machine to quantize it to 120bpm. However, you can be certain that when you lay down the rhythm part along with the drum machine, the parts would loop and repeat correctly and never get out of sync with the drum machine.- another nice feature is that the drum machine can track the bpm of the rhythm pattern you record and match the drum machine's bpm with it. This is as long as the pattern you record has clear rhythmic quality. Don't expect the drum machine to detect bpm if you record "ambient" or "soundscape" type of sound.- the pedal can be connected to the app via Bluetooth so there are no additional wires needed to run the app.Cons:- this pedal is not very intuitive to use. The fact that you have to do combination presses of buttons to activate different features, means that you have to learn a whole new set of muscle memory when sometimes all you want to do is to j play music.- the drum machine only comes loaded with one set of drum sound and you CAN'T load your custom drum sounds to the pedal. I deducted one star on this aspect because the factory drum sound that came with the pedal is pretty bad. This pedal would be more useful as a creative tool in the studio or on stage if the user can load their drum sounds. I'm imagining situations in that I could start a song using the electronic drum sound and patterns with this pedal and have a drummer come in later in the song and kick things up a notch. Unfortunately, the drum sounds on this unit are pretty terrible and I certainly don't want to use the sound in any song that I write or play live with it.- this pedal is a rebranded product and the website looked like it was made with Microsoft Word. This aspect is important especially if the pedal has an app that is essential to its functionality. The website and support infrastructure needs to be easy to find and accessible. The app that is on the rebranded website is an old version. I had to find the most recent app on a website of the old brand name. I'm deducting one star for this aspect because the terrible website is a sign that there's no support infrastructure for this pedal and its corresponding app. This means that the app and the pedal functionality probably won't be improved upon.With the robust quantize and sync feature between the drum machine and recorded loop, I had high hopes that the rest of the features in this pedal would match. However, the pedal cones up short with the less intuitive control interface, and terrible drum sounds. Regardless, this pedal has become part of my regular practice routine. Despite the terrible drum sounds, there are a few useful drum patterns that are fairly fun to play along with. The pedal is also very useful for when I want to write and refine the parts for odd-meter songs.If you're looking to get this pedal, get it as a practice tool but not for something creative or have it be part of your sound. Again, this pedal needs a feature that allows user to load their drum sounds. That feature would elevate this pedal from just a practice tool to being a creative music instrument. I hope that the manufacturer takes note of this and improve the pedal and app in the future.

Ruido de fondo
El aparato tiene un montón de buenas funciones a un precio genial, pero cuando te pones a tocar con él o a grabar, emite un ruido como de metrónomo, es bajo pero realmente irritante.Lástima pues prometía.Devuelto y reembolsado, con Amazon sin problemas.
