For about $200, you can get a nearly mint BOSS DD-500 off eBay. I know that's way more money, but it is also a tremendously better value, so just adding that for context in case you want to put the $40 towards something bigger. For the additional cost you'd get a higher quality looper with three footswitches which is easier to control, and you'd have dozens of delays, tap tempo, expression, midi, and far superior audio fidelity. I'd flat trade it for a Strymon flagship given the opportunity, but for $200 they are a steal thanks to all the guys that sold theirs when they went Strymon.
With that stuff said, I bought a similar looper pedal from Amazon for $10 when they were doing a closeout of the Amazon pedals, and it's still useful for having some fun, and I like to start a little looper and use that to dial in the tone of other pedals.
#1, it's noisy. Even with a pro DC supply, it generates its own noise.
#2, sound quality is really poor. All harmonics and bass are killed, so your loop sounds flat.
#3, and this one was the killer for me, mine added a good 3/4 second of dead mic at the end of each loop.

Thank you for this info! Much appreciated!

I have no problem with the sound quality or the 3/4 second mentioned, my loops sound great though I wouldn't use this for real recording.
I mainly use it for getting my ideas down and it works perfectly for that.
There are higher quality options out there, if you are trying to play gigs or do serious recording I can see why you would want to upgrade.
I also play guitar not bass so that may be a factor. There is also a page turner available that makes it way more useable for a live situation.
this is solid for $40

I use this with USB power and have no noise issues, nor the dead air another user mentioned.
There are bigger and better pedals out there sure but if you want to start somewhere and don't wish to commit more money, this pedal holds up well
