Excellent value, works great
Having owned many loopers including a $700 Boss RC-505 and $100 Ditto I was pleasantly surprised how well this looper is built and how good it sounds. Some people have complained of noise - sorry, if your guitar pickups hum then of course the pickups will hum plugged in to this. The looper itself is dead quiet and the loops are indistinguishable from the original. It's easy to start, end, overlay, and erase loops. The fact that you can store loops and that it includes basic drum loops at this price point is amazing. It's small, built like a tank, and easy to carry. I've used it for busking powered by a small lithium battery plugged in to the USB port so it's super portable and easy to set up. Highly recommended!

Surprisingly good
This little pedal works pretty good. It's surprisingly sturdy. It's metal. It's smaller than it looks. It doesn't take up much room. But in the interest of giving you the good and the bad, I think it makes a fair amount of noise. This might just be my unit or my amp but there is a hum that comes from it even when you're not using it. Not a loud feedbacky hiss or anything. Just a hum. And maybe I haven't read all the directions so maybe I'm wrong about this but there doesn't seem any way to turn it off when you're not using it. But the drums sound pretty good for canned drums through a guitar amp. There aren't a lot of latin beats that usually come with a drum machine type of thing. No cha cha or rumba. Which might be good unless you're a latin musician. You can't program your own beats though. For a looper, it works well and I'd say go for it. For a learning aid it's fantastic. Learning to play in time is something many struggle with. All in all, an extremely fair price for a really good pedal that could cost you WAY more.

Really impressive for the price
I have a different brand micro looper pedal and it is awkward to use and just sits and collects dust. This pedal is a lot smaller than you might imagine, but the simple layout makes it fairly easy to navigate around and the knobs are easily accessible to adjust the volume. The drum machine is such a nice extra. Not 1 sound would scream “real drummer!” But to practice with and the ability to sync it to the looper side is amazing for $43.00. I downloaded the app and it makes the drums even better by being able to program my own patterns. The soft kick is totally workable, btw.Cons would be not being able to use outside drum samples, MIDI, but the biggest might be not having a separate output for the drums. I’m always amazed at the quality and low price of 2020s guitar pedals. It is a true pleasure to be a player of any level this day and age!

The pedal has potential... But tap tempo is odd
I actually quite like this pedal. However the tap tempo, which should be one of the easiest and most straight forward feature, is beyond practical comprehension or simply broken... Because I cannot get it to work, at least consistently. Major drawback.If the maker could design a dedicated tap tempo that works just like every other tap tempo in the world, that is easy to use, then I would probably consider this one of the best loopers that I've played, at least design wise. Sound quality wise is harder for me to gauge as my ears are probably not the best judge for that.That said, the form factor is surprisingly really small. It surprised me!. The size works for me since I just dabble in my office and allows me to make a really compact pedal board. That said, for someone playing live, etc, I think this pedal may be too small for ease of use. Just to keep in mind.Things I love. The tuner function is extremely convenient. The undo feature is easy and extremely convenient. How it visually displays the length/repeat of your loop is nice.The drums do sound a bit fake... Or more accurately, extremely dry. It lacks a room sound (or reverb) in the recorded drum loops. So this may be a pro or a con. A pro if you want to use your own reverb to give some realism to the drums, but more importantly, so do you have clashing reverbs from multiple sources. One of my amps has spring reverb and another has built-in hall reverb (digital) so it works out: my guitar and drums share one reverb instead of two clashing together. However, if you don't have reverb, the drum loops may sound too fake. Also, I don't really dig my amp's spring reverb on the drum loops but it's good enough.If you don't mind playing to the tempo of the drum loop (which I can't seem to change), this is a pretty decent looper. Build quality is up to industry standard. Soft switches are nice. But... value for money? If you can live with no tap tempo, this is the best value for money, hands down.

Great for practice. Has heaphone jack and optional USB-C power
If you’re considering a low cost drum looper pedal this will be perfect as a basic drum/looper for practicing and creating loops. Was considering other more expensive pedals but for my use this is fine. There weren’t very many lower priced options that has a headphone jack (although some have mentioned plugging headphones into the output jack but the volume is low). The headphone jack worked great for my use. Another plus is the option to power via USB-C port. I can use a battery power pack and use this without being tied to a power outlet. For this price it was a no-brainer for me. If you’re looking for something with more drum selections or perhaps better sound I recommend spending more for a better one. But for basic practice this is perfect. Bit of a learning curve though if you’re new to loopers but not terribly difficult to use once learned. Push buttons feel mechanically cheap and “clicky” though. Had it only for a few days so at this price, we’ll see how long it lasts.Smaller than I thought but okay with me. Weight is as expected and metal case is sufficient for home use. Perhaps not the most rugged of pedals and may not withstand regular gigging and the like.

Disappointing
My main complaint is that there is no way to dial a specific beats per minute BPM for any drum kit. The drum kits themselves are very simplistic, and not much more than a metronome. There is a tap for tempo button, but it is horrible to use. Taping even with a real metronome, I couldn't get the BPM set to a specific value. The looper is ok. Just ok. There is a reason this Drum and Looper is half the price of others. It's cheap functionality.

Buen pedal, pero el manual no tanto.
Un gran producto en una pequeña carcasa, un muy buen precio por todo el potencial que tiene, pero cuesta mucho trabajo entender su uso con la app, sin embargo una vez que le entiendes mejora la experiencia 1000%.Las letras en el manual son muy pequeñas y no hay instrucciones de cómo usar la app. Solo hay un Qr que te lleva al sitio dónde descargar la app para el móvil, y para la computadora, que por cierto no son para lo mismo: con la del móvil editas los ritmos y con la de la computadora descargas los audios de los 4 loops que estén almacenados, mi móvil me lanzó muchas advertencias de seguridad tanto del sitio como de instalación de la app pero las ignoré, instalé la app y al principio no se enlazaba con el pedal, mi error era que no tenia el botón de ubicación en mi móvil encendido, ya que encendí la ubicación lo pude enlazar y pude editar los ritmos y escribí los que necesito, mi experiencia con el producto se elevó al cielo.Me gustaría ver una versión de este pedal que tuviera más de 2 compases editables, más memorias para ritmos, más variedad de tambores como percusión latina, más loops disponibles y más tiempo para cada loop. Eso sí, quien sabe cuánto cueste.Estoy muy contento 😊 con mi compra.

¡Me fascina!
Llevo apenas dos días usándolo y me gusta mucho! El pedal es pequeño y liviano, el botón para activar el loop no es tan intuitivo pero una vez que entiendes cómo funciona puedes hacer maravillas. Las mezclas de tambores es bastante completa y tienen buena calidad. A la salida tiene buen sonido, aunque presenta un leve ruido. Nada del otro mundo. Sin duda volvería a comprarlo. Si es tu primer pedal de loop es una muy buena opción!

This works GREAT! I am the whole band again! :)
I love the Drum/Looper pedal. It works great for what I needed. It was easy to add to my pedals, the only downside was I have to unplug the power from the device to have it turned off... an On/Off switch would have gotten a 5 star review. The app on my phone was picky at first too. When I installed it for roughly 10 minutes it could not find the device. I pulled the plug to power it off and plugged it back in a minute later and it popped up on the device list immediately the second time. Watch the YouTube videos for setting up the device, they really helped me. Print in the instruction manual is small and I cannot read it. That wasn't a big deal though... everything is online if you care to research it. As I said the only thing I don't like is I have to bend over to unplug the unit when not in use. I would prefer an On/Off switch. That would have been the perfect experience.
