First of all, the size of this pedal is wonderful. I was expecting a larger, plastic thing for the price. This is a very slim, sleek, but weighty metal enclosure. I’ll post a pic: it’s about the size of a mini pedal, but feels more solid.This may be the perfect”Goldilocks” looper pedal for me. I have one button loopers: way to frustrating for live use. I have the larger 2 to 6 button versions. First of all: the Boss and Jamman pieces are so glitchy. And require advance programming to have ready for live use. Although: None of those would fit on my pedalboard anyway. This twin looper is as small as can be while still having room to comfortably step on both switches.The pedal is very intuitive/ for plug and play. I figured it out immediately. You can run it as a 2 switch looper. Standard “Start Stop and Overdub”. But the you can flip a switch and have it turn on “FX”. Change speeds and directions and stereo placement. And keep playing over or overdubbing the whole thing.The sound quality is the best of all my loopers. Probably because it is such a new pedal. Hi-Fi sound/ no noise.I was playing this well in under five minutes. It cost over $500 less than my Boss Loop Station. I still don’t have my loop station set up for live use. (You have to program all the buttons for every song you wanna do. Not for “on the fly” use.This is , for sure, the pedal I would use for jams, live, and if I wanna record something quick in the home studio.Also: this is probably the only looper I own that I could drop and it would survive without damage.

At certain settings, it verges on being able to sound as if the notes are being played back in reverse but I am not interested in that. There really is no reason to purchase this pedal other than, on occasion, you want your guitar to sound like a bowed instrument. "Do I really want that? Will I use it?" For the price, this was something I was willing to answer. I fell in love with the effect instantly, and most people I show(off) to are equally impressed.In that regard, I got what I expected. But I also got much more...This effect will force you to play guitar differently. Very fast runs of notes generally don't sound pleasing through this pedal, so it forces you to slow down. As a result, I'm making better note choices, my vibrato is improved, and my solos are becoming more melodic. If you told me before I bought that I'd be a better player thanks to a pedal that makes my guitar sound like a violin, viola, or even cello, I would have said you are crazy. And I would have been wrong.My one complaint and the reason why I give only 4 stars is that you lose a significant amount of volume when the pedal is engaged. It seems to be a common characteristic as I've tried other brands and had the same outcome. I wish there was a volume control on the pedal that worked without affecting the effect.

One of the big things you can't tell when you look at something online is whether the build quality of an item is as good as the picture makes it look. This pedal's build quality, however, really exceeded what I was expecting. It seems super-sturdy. The housing is metal, and it's hefty for nano. It takes up hardly any room on the pedal board. Operation is simple enough. There's a little three-position mode switch and a level knob. It comes with a small memory card in an adapter for the regular SD slot on the side of it so you can bring external sound files into the pedal. There are a couple of foot pedal codes to remember, and they mean different things depending on what state the LED is indicating, so it takes a little practice, but I'm a one-man band after a day. Sound is great. You can loop, layer more loops on top of the first loop, delete the last layer, or delete the whole loop with only the following foot button commands: tap, hold, and double-tap. You get to store layers of loops with the total of all layer lengths equal to or less than ten minutes. You can loop things backwards, too, but I probably won't use that feature much. I have always wanted to get a looper, but my pedal board was a little crowded already. I wish I could shrink my other pedals to this size. Two thumbs up, especially when space on your pedal board is scarce.

I’m comparing this VSN Harmonizer and the Mooer Pitch Box to the Donner Harmonic Square. They’re all pitch shifter mini pedals but only the Donner is usable (i actually replaced my EHX Pico Pitchfork with the Donner which is $50 vs the Pitchfork’s $200.)The VSN and Mooer have extremely inaccurate pitch tuning on all intervals and close to slapback level latency. hilarious. The Pico Pitchfork has some very cool features but the sound is really weird and cold. I’m a jazz/blues/fusion/rock/whatevs player and use octaves with drive for lines, 5ths and 4ths for lines and some “synthy” chording over a static tonal center. The Donner sounds great clean or with varying degrees of drive. definitely worth the price.

I guess it just couldn’t handle the job. I liked the swells it was producing. Then all of a sudden it began doing multiple swells. Almost like a delay. Easy setup but didn’t last long.Edit: after a brief “rest”, it began working again. I bought another one just in case this one does it again.
