Great looper, but very small
The looper works beautifully, overdubs well, does everything you'd want. The only 2 issues "for me", are it's size, & lack of visual LED cues. There is one LED that shows green for play, & will change to red when you record or overdub.If that doesn't matter to you, this is a great looper, especially at this price.

Bass eq works with guitar as well
Nice little pedal for the lower price at purchase than the guitar version - only difference is it has more on the low end but otherwise same as the guitar eq. Does a nice job as a signal boost as well. Really livens up the overall sound, also makes it nice and rat-punky if you want that too. Good, wide frequency ranges :)

Awesome effects pedal...
I'll give a tip on what I learned while using it..if you set the delay time all the way up, and use the loop function, you can create a sound passage loop that fits 120bpm.

Small and affordable, but quality!
This pedal has a very nice look to it, and it arrives in a black box with silver lettering and a magnetic flap. I felt like the company was proud of this very tiny pedal.This is my second reverb. My other one is also on the affordable end, but the other is stereo and with a hall setting rather than a shimmer. This Ocean Verb is a cool pedal, but it stays in its lane. It’s versatile in the sense that it can get weird, or be fairly transparent. I use my pedals for different things. For my other stereo verb I use that in synth, where I want to humanize the sound but also make it wider. For this Ocean Verb I use it on a monophonic analog drum machine. So, I soften the edge of the drums by turning the tone knob all the way down, and usually I have the other two knobs at around 1/4-1/2. But, it’s nice to know it has another extreme that can transform my drum machine into a series of non-percussive pulse-like tones. The extreme end of the shimmer is interesting on sequenced or arpeggiated bass synth.The spring setting is not drastically different than the room setting, but shimmer has a modulation to it that is different than the other two. The room setting does a pretty good job of establishing an imaginary space. The spring setting doesn’t feel spring-like to me, but I like how it softens the edge of the tone; this is what I bought this pedal to do. Shimmer is best reserved for times when you might want a less natural and more extreme or alien type sound.I’m going to change the knob, to make it stand taller, but overall I feel really good about this purchase! Just expect a reverb that is sort of canned with a bit of a ring to it.This is not a verb for ambience but more of a canned kind of verb that just makes the tone ring a bit more in a few ways.UPDATE: After spending some time with this pedal, it's obvious to me now that it is adding unwanted noise to my rig. I use all gold tip cables and one of those multi-power devices, plus a particular power strip, all in the service of reducing the undesirable frequencies. I ended up setting this up through the effects loop on my DOD Rubberneck, where it is more manageable, but the great price tag has come at the expense of quality in the manufacturing and/or parts. I have to drop my rating to two stars, because I now see this as a bare-minimum type of reverb with problems.

Makes your guitar sound like a bowed instrument - and that's it!
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.

Good tone
Not as good as my old Boss chorus, but it gets the job done. Bonus points for being a mini pedal and for the awesome graphics.

The Octave Pedal I should have bought in the first place.
Bought this after buying and returning the underwhelming EX Analog Octave Guitar Pedal.This one works as advertised on my guitar, bass, or ukulele. It *IS* polyphonic (unlike the EX which claimed to be but wasn’t), and can even handle full chords. It tracks very well with no lag. Like all octave pedals, it gets a little less accurate on very low notes, but I have no complaints about that. The octaves will sustain for as long as your original note holds. There is no noise when switching it on or off and no hum when it is on.The labeling of the dials is a bit counterintuitive, because you control five different octaves with three knobs and one toggle switch, but it is easy to figure out eventually. The important thing to remember is that the knob labeled Oct 1 always controls the lower of your artificial octaves; the knob labeled Oct 2 always controls the higher of your artificial octaves. So, in Top mode, Oct 1 = +12, and Oct 2 = +24. In Both mode, Oct 1 = -12, and Oct 2 = +12. In Bottom mode, Oct 1 = -24, and Oct 2 = -12.

Noisy, switch makes clicking sound
When you click the foot switch it is audible in the signal. There's also a click when the loop repeats. I really wish it worked better. Would have been a great deal.
