Ease of Use
:
10
The Loooper is extremely easy to use. The one I have is custom with 5 loops and a master bypass.
I like the fact that you can personalize the layout of the loop switches . The unit is very compact so you can easily engage switches individually or in combinations.
Sound Quality

I just received this unit, it is great for bypassing the pedals as well as the patch connections when not utilizing certain effects in the Loooper. No noise at all. When using the master bypass it sounded and felt like I was going straight into the amp. I tried it through my GT Soul-O 45 tube combo.I also will use it with a Mesa 2 -90 with an Aguilar 1911 tube preamp. I am sure this will work great with any setup since the Loooper seems to be totally transparent, which is what you want.
Reliability
:
10
Though I just received this, I feel the Loooper will be very dependable.It is built simply with just what you need and very sturdy. I have been gigging for 25 years with no backup for anything for the most part, so I feel confident with the quality of switches and all that there will be no problem with this unit.

David Boggs is great. He cares about the keeping the costt down and making great switchers. He is very flexible with custom orders and answers all questions within a few hours of emailing him. Brand new unit so I have not had to deal with repairs but I am sure he backs it up. I would guess it is a pretty straight forward type of unit to work on

I play and record all kinds of Jazz, as well as rock , funk, classical and Brazilian styles with my own groups as well as a sideman with others. Been playing for 33 years. I have a Sadowsky custom Tele with Humbuckers with a gibson scale type neck,a Sadowsky electric nylon string guitar,Taylor Acoustic, Ovation Nylon, Walter Woods Amp,numerous effects. I would get another one if I needed to. I love what this unit allows you to do in the way of bypassing and bringing in effects in different combinations,the compact size and custom options are great. I researched for units like this on and off for years. These units are fantastic at what they do for the price. The loooper can make your switching alot easier for many different situations. The rave reader reviews for the Loooper were very helpful and Daves website is very detailed with many Looopers to view. That was a big help. Thanks Dave
