VSN ABY BOX Switch Guitar Pedal ABY Box Line Selector Channel Pedal True Bypass for Mini Size True Bypass …

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.

This pedal is *reminiscent* of a Carbon Copy, but much smaller and a quarter of the price. It’s definitely got the analog delay sound: repeats grit up and degrade, messing with the delay time makes fun spaceship noises, and it goes into self-oscillation with the feedback turned up.The mod switch is a nice addition. Adds a bit of slow warble to the delays and sounds really cool. I haven’t opened it up to see if the LFO rate and depth can be adjusted.Only negative things are the absence of tap tempo and some sound quality things. The signal can get kinda “crispy” sounding if you play loud/hard. Not super audible in a live setting, but it becomes immediately noticeable in a recording session.Long story short: it’s a great budget delay pedal if you’re curious or want something small for bar gigs and practice. However, I’d save up and invest in something nicer if you plan to record with it.

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.

This is a good unit for the price, as a basic looper. It does well until you hit it with too much volume, and then it begins to clip the peaks, introducing a nasty digital distortion crack on the peaks. Nobody needs that. If you keep your volume down and don't add too many things to the overdub, it can work well. And I won't argue with the reverse function or the speed function. I just wish the volume threshold was higher, because if it was, this would be an amazing unit. As it is, I think it would be good for recording, or for limited use live if you kept the volume down and didn't add too much to the loop. I like it, but I can see that a Ditto X4 is in my future. But for just getting into looping at a low price, yes, I think it would do well for that.
