Great looper
I have been using this looper for more than 5 years now and I had no issues with the sound quality, but I do start to see some problems with the build quality.
Use:
I use this looper at home for jamming, have not tried it in band context. It has been reliable for about 4+ year , but now it seems, that some parts of it start to wear off. I have all my pedals equipped with Barefoot Buttons, so the Ditto had 2 of those as well. I first noticed a couple of months ago that pressing the Play button with the BFB on did not work. I heard a click as usual but the recording did not start. Taking off the BFB helped for a few months, now sometimes I have to step on the Play button 3-4 times until it actually does something. The Stop button is still fine, but considering that that button is used much less, it is not surprising. Warranty already expired, so did my own research. It turned out that several TC pedals have issues with the spring under the soft-click buttons wearing off after a while. Some people recommend changing or adjusting the spring, but I haven't managed to open up mine so far, due to the weird screws that do not seem to support any screwdrivers I own. So now I guess I just wait until it slowly gives up or I get tired of it and just order something else.
Other than that, it is a good pedal.

Great easy-to-use looper pedal
The Ditto X2 is a great and easy to use looper pedal. Does what it should do. Hit button one, loop starts, hit again, loop stops and immediately starts playing. Second button, only available on the X2, comes in handy as a stop-button. On the one-button, cheaper Ditto looper, you have to hit the one button twice to stop the loop, which could be a little awkward. Don't know, could be just me as well. Anyway, I'm very happy with this two button thing. O yes: there's backwards looping and half and quarter speed looping possibilities as well, but I've only used that once. Guess my psychedelic space age period is yet to come.
pros: two buttons - on and off / good sound / ease of use / true bypass
cons: several fuzz and distortion pedals used used when playing over the loop, may disintegrate the original loop

Super Duper.
This unit is very well built, rugged and does exactly what is described by TC Electronic. True Bypass, clarity of sound and the reverse and 1/2 functions are the icing on top of the cake, if you want to expand your looping capabilities in a creative way - it really stands out when it comes to create gigantic soundscapes. I've traded my lo-fi loop junkie and a boss dd-20 for this pedal. You can really grasp how good this is by comparing prices and functions. Highly recommended.

Great looper
I was going to get the smaller version but then I decided for this one, as I needed the STOP button. If you use it as a sound effect pedal in a live band, you might find the extra effects useful, but if you plan on use on solo gigs, the STOP function might be the only one you use. The sound quality is just great, and it keeps your last loop in memory even when you unplug the power and without batteries. Very easy to use if you have owned similar pedals before as it's very intuitive. Simple design + great quality

Feature packed
The sound quality is great on this quality bit of kit. After you’ve finished playing around and figure out the features you can do everything you could want on a looper.

Simple and well built
Nothing fancy here. Bought if for the extra stop switch for ease of use in live gigs. Solid construction, Easy to use, plug in a go.

Simple and stereo
It's simple to use and it's stereo if you want it to be.
