It works, it's good, it's cheap
I bought this pedal as myfirst ever looper because i didn't want to spend much on a looper.
A little bit worried about the quality (because there aren't that many reviews or videos online) i decided to just buy it. Delivery was quick and correct, as always, and when i first plugged it in, it did what I expected.
PRO'S:
It's a simple looper and it works, the sound is good, the footswitch is sturdy which is important for a looper because you use the footswitch a LOT and the looping mechanism is easy.
And now the DOWNSIDE to the pedal:
First of all, the sound. When i record a loop there is a small difference between the direct sound to the amp and the looped sound from the pedal. The difference isn't that big, but it is noticable if you know the sound of your gear.
Second, the volume knob works fine between completely off and noon (wich is about the same volume as the signal from the guitar) but the second half of the volume-sweep doesn't effect the volume very much. But since it's a looper, I don't think it's that big of a problem.
I also compared this to the TC Electronic Ditto my friend uses, and the difference in quality isn't worth double the price.
TLDR; Need a looper, don't need perfection, buy this one!

Everything you need, nothing you don't
A tiny cute yet well built pedal from Harley Benton. It is my first looping pedal and it has been a lot of fun to jam with it in the bed room. It does not have any fancy features, but it can record up to 10 minutes of play time and allows you to transfer your loops as .wav into a windows PC. I do not notice any lost on sound quality when recording. I haven't had any problems yet and the price is just unbeatable. Stop wondering and just go for it.
** UPDATE **
My pedal started to show some problems after few days of use. Instead of playback, I would get only noise. I sent a video to Thomann and they efficiently replaced my pedal for a new one within few days. I reduced my quality rating to 2 stars, but thanks to Thomann's 30-day money back guarantee and 3 year warranty I can still highly recommend this product.

difficult to operate for me
Don't understand me wrong - this is a very good looper that functions perfectly. Yet, it is very difficult for me to use it. And that is because I am colour blind. It is impossible for me to see the difference between when the LED lights red or green. Therefore I never know what state the pedal is in. Why not use blue as a contrasting colour ?

Amazing for the price but....
this pedal is amazing for its price and i don't think i'll ever regret buying it
that said however it is difficult to use it in a live situation because of its one button set up , to stop a loop you have to hold down the button for rougly 2 seconds , during this time the loop keeps going , which makes it awkward to end a loop in a song.
for home jamming however where such things dont matter this looper is amazing and i have already found that songwriting has become so much easier when i can make rhythm and lead lines to my songs on the fly using the looper.
overall i would personally recommend the looper for anyone but be wary of the one button set up if you wanna take this to a live scenario as it may be tough to use but not impossible.

Good and cheap loop pedal
This one is very cheap and simple to use. Not a lot of resources, just the basic stuff, but it feels sturdy enough to the home player. The sound degrades as you ad on more loops.

Very cool little looper. The switch is really great, really smooth. However, I'm experiencing some distortion when overdubbing too much, and by too much I mean, depending on the guitar and the effects I put on before it, distortion occurs in after two or twenty-two overdubs.

Surprised in a good way
Usually with these cheap loopers, you get drowned and drab loops with a huge loss in volume, but I haven't experienced any of that with this one so far. For the price, I'm massively impressed with how it's keeping the tone/volume for the most part consistent. It lacks many features compared to higher end models, but it does the bare minimum for looping really well, and at this price point that's all you can really hope for.

Click noise recorded!
Would be a good thing if it didn't have that "click" noise each time loop re-starts! Very annoying if you need a constant drone or anything that does not need separate click as this can throw you off, acting as a rhythm click when not really needed. I think its the switch that click and gets into the start of the recording. Very annoying. I dont think this to be a malfunction but rather the feature of this affordable looper pedal. Shame really.
