Who wins on what

Ranked by what users actually praise

Overall Impression

Ease of use and storage slots stand out as the biggest wins. Multiple commenters highlight how simple the 360 is compared to other loopers they've owned, including the Boss and TC Electronic Ditto. The 11 save slots let users keep several loop ideas ready without erasing previous work, which reviewers call a major advantage over single-loop pedals that force constant deletion of favorite riffs.

Timing and gap issues frustrate some users during loop recording. Several commenters describe a noticeable gap or delay before a loop starts playing back, even when recording a single sustained note. Others ask about eliminating a couple seconds of silence at the loop start. One user claims the pedal lacks quantization and cannot record perfectly precise loops, though this was disputed by another who resolved issues after switching pedals entirely.

Confusion persists over the 360-second memory limit and overdub volume. Many buyers are unsure whether 360 seconds applies per loop slot or is shared across all 11 locations, a question repeated across numerous comments without a clear consensus answer. Separately, a couple of users report needing to max out the level knob just to hear playback during overdubbing, suspecting a possible defect but unable to confirm.
