Harley Benton MiniStomp Copy Paste

Totally satisfied, nothing to worry about.

There aren't many reviews about this pedal, probably because most people don't want to risk their money on a pedal that has no reviews around, so here's a review.

It works exactly as a looper pedal is supposed to work. The reproduction of the sound is spot-on, it does not deviate from what you actually play on the guitar. It also doesn't generate any noise and it is a true by-pass.

The manual doesn't include the functions of this pedal, but they're the same ones every looper pedal of this mini type has. These are:

One tap to record, tap again to close the loop (starts repeating the recording). You can tap again if you want to add additional layers (over-dubs).

You can hold the button to delete the last layer you added, or double-tap to pause the reproduction. If you have paused the loop, then holding the button won't only delete the last layer, but the entire track. There's also this button in the center (LEVEL button), but I'm not sure what it actually does as I haven't experimented with it yet, but I'll definitely update the review once I try it.

The looper can take up to 15 minutes of total recorded time (that includes the over-dubs as well) and you can extract the audio files (WAV format) with a micro-USB, which is also included.

I honestly do not see a reason to go with the more expensive options. I'm totally satisfied by this looper as it does exactly what it is expected to do.

broke after a few months

sound just stopped coming through the pedal

Great looping pedal

Great looping pedal, all well known features are available (overlap, delete last layer etc.), you can even connect to PC and extract the recordings as 3 different tracks.

Eingebauter Hochpass macht den looper unbrauchbar

Im Grunde sicherlich kein schlechter looper, die Verarbeitung ist aeusserlich tadellos, die Funktionalitaet ok, aber der eingebaute Hochpass macht aus meiner Gitarre ein duennes etwas, was angesichts der Tatsache, dass ich meine Gitarre im Bass auf D2 stimme (D2 liegt bei 73 Hz) besonders stark ins Gewicht faellt. Der Verlust bei 73Hz ist mindestens 3dB, wenn nicht mehr. Der looper hat scheinbar auch keine Funktion, die die aufgenommenen overdubs progressiv herunterleveln wuerde, so dass das ganze immer lauter wird, was mit der duennen/mittigen Charakteristik das ganze schnell sehr nervig klingen laesst. Ich hatte den looper als Ersatz fuer einen xvive duet2 geordert, der angeblich leider nicht repariert werden konnte und er ist leider kein match fuer den xvive, sehr schade.

Really good for the price

It's a simple looper like the tc ditto looper but with the extra function that you can store 3 presets, and save them in your pc eventually.

The sound quality is very good, I have tried it intto the fx loop of my amp (which is quite picky - mesa rectifier solo head) as the last pedal of a chain of 4 pedals in the loop and it sounds the same as when it is off.

Keep in mind that the volume knob doesn't affect just the recorded phrase, but once the pedal is on, the whole level drops. When it's maxed it's on unity level , at least to my setup.

All in all, for the price I 'm happy with it

Edit:

After having spent some more time with it I realize that the volume thing is a big issue. I'm torn whether mine is defective, otherwise the very existence of the volume knob is useless. Once the pedal is engaged, the volume knob controls the whole signal, the dry as well ,it is supposed to affect only the volume of the recorded part not the dry part. Secondly , the sound is not unaffected ,it most definitely cuts off some low end frequencies, but I suppose that could be expected given the price, although I am talking even when the pedal is off, that is not how true bypass is supposed to work.
