Electro-Harmonix 720 Stereo Looper Pedal

Noisiest pedal I've ever used. First time I plugged it in I could immediately hear an extremely audible amount of phasing white noise coming out of my usually very quiet amplifier. I got a replacement. This second pedal made the same exact amount of noise as the first one. Besides the noise, when you're actually jamming to a loop you start to notice all these weird digital artifacts which ruin your tone. How am I supposed to play shows and record with this pedal when it sounds terrible? Contact EHX engineers and they will tell you this is all normal and they won't do a thing about it (Who in their right mind at Electro-Harmonix thinks it's OK to ruin your signal chain's sound quality?). So you're stuck with the inconvenience of returning the pedal. Last Electro-Harmonix product I will ever buy as I've had issues with their other stuff, and will turn everybody I know off their low quality garbage.

Easy to get set up. I haven't tried the memory features yet.

12 minutes of record time... What more could I ask for in a looper?!!

Fun and great for composing

For the unit I received, I would only hear playback if the volume level was turned up to around 75% or higher on the unit; less than that, nothing...even with any of the amps or speakers I'd plug this into, turned up. I've tried recording it at different levels but still the same result with needing to crank it up for playback. But this may have been a defect on this unit. As for recording, you must be wary of the number of minutes/seconds available to record, because you only have 12 mins and it is divided among the number of banks (out of 10) that you're going to use (e.g. if you record a 2min loop in one bank, you will have 10mins left to share among the rest of the 9 free banks; and then if you record, say a 5min loop on another bank, you'll have 5mins left for the remaining 8 banks). Overdubbing on any one bank is unlimited though and does not use any additional memory. You can also undo/redo the last overdub if you didn't like it. Now it's a bit tricky getting the timing of your "stomp" precise to where it would playback seamlessly. There is a noticeable gap between the end and beginning of the loop during playback (apparently a common complaint/issue from other online sources). The switch is pretty high and that may contribute to its difficulty of getting a seamless loop. After several attempts, you can easily go from being excited to get home and practice on a loop to being demotivated and annoyed. Guitar Center is awesome with their return policy, and I had no trouble returning the unit. Well, I went ahead and got a Jam Man solo XT instead which has more bang for the buck because of features like 10mins of loop time PER bank (it has, i think, 99 banks available), expandable memory with a microSD, can connect to computer via USB. It has NO GAP between the loops due to the lower profile switch/pedal so no loss in motivation at all, you just wanna keep on playing! I also wanna mention that the XT was $10 cheaper at the time of this review. Never looked back :)

Unfortunately, there is a bit of a stagger between loops where the audio drops out. Read forums and you'll find it's extremely difficult to record a seamless loop. The features are great but the execution failed.
