This pedal as you probably know has two interesting modes: the looper and a rhythm box.
Everything is analog.
A 9v connection (recommended)

UTILIZATION

This little red box has plenty of capacity for a small package. It can save different preset to reuse later, create overdubs also like all good looper (up to 3 tracks juxtaposed). It also helps to have many pace to accompany and is provided with a tap tempo.
Although it seems simple on the manual can be found on the website of BOSS, in reality it is not. In fact, the pedal is the classic format of BOSS pedals (a push button) use standing is sometimes laborious and requires a good grip (or foot pedal). Ditto for stalling the pace. Once this is done it works very well, but simplification and mignaturisation perfect housing has made it more complex grip so that you will in any case at the beginning a lot of time sitting.
I therefore recommend to the stage for the reason or if it gets confused between 1 or 2 seconds to keep support, dual pressures etc. or if you are confused in the line it will be hard to catch up in a hurry. C is a good pedal IF it was tame but it will be long.

SOUND QUALITY

This pedal has a good sound quality. Nothing to say on this side of, well regulated c is not ideal especially grains, obviously does not solve the flight too strong for support does not pass the leed.
I could use it with a PRS McCarty with splitables microphones and acoustic electric. Both are very well placed in the mix
Only a slight defect background noise due to the onboard electronics. (Noise Gate useful)

OVERALL OPINION

I kept more than a year. It was my first looper before I change for the flashback x3 TC électronic.
The beat box is very interesting to work on his pace and explore new things I almost keep to it.
Just for that I will ever be the choice because even if I did not keep c is a good experience with loopers without ruining it and especially for those who work in them that will:
1) having a battery with you to repeat
2) to work on his game / pace / mistakes
3) develop their creativity with Embedded rhythms.

Good music :)
