A Really Great Noise Gate!
The media could not be loaded. I've been using this pedal for cutting out the noise that is produced from my other pedals and my amp. It works great for cutting noise that would normally ring through in between notes or chords. It's small, built well, and easy to use. The threshold control allows you to set the volume at which the gate starts the noise reduction, and the toggle switch allows you to dial in your settings. Get one!

Neat little pedal + great customer service
For a sub-$50 price, this is a powerful little pedal. It's small, but it's solidly built and feels substantial and doesn't go sliding around the floor when you inadvertently bump it with your foot. The instructions leave a bit to be desired, and the UI is a little confusing at first (shifting through modes is accomplished by tapping, double tapping, and tapping and holding the switch, and trying to intuit what is meant by steady green LED versus blinky red LED...) but there are several Youtube videos reviewing that explain how to use the thing if trial-and-error isn't your thing. I'm not a professional musician, or someone who gigs regularly, so I can't offer an opinion on how this would do on the road or for performing, but for messing around in the den, using it as an ersatz multi-track for composing ideas, it's more than up to the task.The pedal can also be plugged into a USB port to upload samples or download what you've been working on. The 'looper' software can be downloaded directly from Rowin's page. My caveat - as of the writing of this review - is that the software prompted me to update the pedal's firmware, which promptly bricked the pedal. So, uh, avoid doing that for now...But that brings me to my second point... I bought this pedal ~ 8 months prior to my misadvenutre with the firmware update. Long enough ago that Amazon had long since disabled the "return/exchange" option in my purchase history. I messaged Rowin, explained what had happened and hoped for the best, but candidly wasn't expecting much in the way of a remedy... But they got back to me within two hours, asked me for the Amazon order number, and immediately sent me a replacement at no cost. I was hoping, at best, for some IT advice on how to roll back the install and maybe get the pedal running again. So, giving credit where it is due, I remain a happy customer with both the product and with the company's prompt and satisfactory handling of my inquiry. There's about a dozen of these little looping pedals available on Amazon, all in roughly the same price range, and all with roughly comparable features... that Rowin stood behind its product strikes me as a distinguishing consideration in trying to decide which pedal to buy.

Mistakenly thought it was unusable...but works great
Purchased this unit plus the recommended power supply. Plugged in as per instructions. LOUD buzz like an electrical short in it. Troubleshot to ascertain that it wasn't my amp, guitar, or cords, and it wasn't. Buzz occurred every time that I applied power and rendered it totally useless. Very disappointed with this product and it's on the way back to Amazon.Update: Right before packing it up, I tried it one more time using my own (versus the recommended/recently purchased) power supply. The new power supply was the problem rather than the looper pedal. It works fine with a different power supply, so I would recommend the pedal....but NOT the recommended power supply!

Great loop pedal!
Excellent loop pedal, I truely love it. I bought it with the recomended power source,and it works Just fine.. One thing it was Kind of confusing was "how" to use it because it comes without instructions... So let me tell you. When you first plug it there is no light, that means its blank.. To star recording you press the pedal once and a red light turns on (that means its recording) .. Press it again to stop and a green light turns on. Do it again to record over. Also, press two times to stop the hole sequence. press and hold to delete everything you Just recorded and the light turns off, which means the pedal is on blank again.Very good purchase. I highly recommend it.
