- Pedal loop, with 5 min of recording (one recording track) without overdub limit. An on / off switch and a volume knob to adjust the volume of the loop.
- 9V supply type boss, not possible on battery power, a USB port (for MAJ in TC).
- True Bypass.
- Format ultra mini, which is handy for not cluttering the pedalboard.
- The switch is very responsive and very sensitive (there is no strength, so no outside noise or the amp).
- For the manufacture I put a good 9/10, compared to what it offers (and how to sell TC), is no lie, no deception.

UTILIZATION

- One switch, one knob, how simple? The rapid manual explains how to record the loop, make a overdub, undo and redo one, stop the loop and clear. Very easy to understand and its very easy to implement.
- My only problem the led, when green is that you play the loop when it is red is that you recorded when she flashes is that the loop begins again. Unfortunately being colorblind, I can not tell the difference with the green and red, so I must be careful not to set foot on inadvertently.
- Of course it is not in the presence of a gas plant like the boos RC-50 looper or other style, the possibilities are more limited of course, but after all a simple design leads to a simple operation? I pulled my hair with my first looper (a boss RC-20XL), both in terms of adjustment of the effect in use. The boss with 11 track recording and about 16 min loop, two stompswitchs a reverse effect, an input and output level, a tap tempo, volume level of tempo function and quantification automatic start seems more enticing. But in fact this pedal is more difficult to manage when you want to get good sound. Ditto here with you do not take the head and cheek.
- For the use I put it a 9/10 you can not simple, and if you want more settings then you are wrong you pedal.

SOUND QUALITY

- The sounds are the highlight of this pedal. Apart from the volume of the loop nothing changes. Grain is kept the same, the same intensity of play ... This pedal meets the guitar you use and your game, compared to the RC-20XL is the day and night. Better still ditto accepts all the pedals connected before it, and it does not distort the sound. My schema:
Skyscrapers - Ditto - - Amp effects chain. Basic and simplistic scheme, with ditto at the end of the loop I keep all the effects when I record a loop. And his magical devien when overdubs are stuck with the same sound it gets a little faster and a mess after three overdubs means something bigger. But adding some effects (whawha, whammy, reverb, distortion, harmonizer, delay) and playing on the guitar pickups (more volume and tone), we get to create audible loops with a huge sound quality which can play solos.
- My RC-20 xl I ate the whole dynamic of the guitar and the input gain saturated often so suddenly alive the geul loops.
- I had a big doubt about the sound quality, and less than an hour the doubt disappeared.
- And finally a looper which is quite usable live.

OVERALL OPINION

- I received it two days ago, I could try 3-4 hours, and I've realized the obvious I'm not about to remove it from my pedal board.
- Not only is the use of single arch, but the sound that say it's great, I do not feel that this is the looper plays the loop, there's really no sound loss and c ' is awesome.
- A remake I would buy earlier.
- The slightly more difficult to judge quality / price ratio, of course we would all pay less each time, but it looper (in nine) and probably one of the cheapest on the market (even compared to some other loopers secondhand). And even if there are others in a similar price or less I'm not sure that the level of quality he manages to align. So yes, the quality / price ratio looks good, I've paid more for products that are less convincing.
- For me it is no fault of TC for the looper, this is the kind of pedal that will not leave my pedalboard, I give it a 10/10 because TC we sell well, without lying to us and his pleasure.
