Nux OCTAVE-LOOP

TL;DR: Good pedal, but has a few annoying things about it. Pros: - Very handy little pedal if you want to try out something new (like a riff-strum pair), great addition for a basic rig setup. - Display is nice and bright, on shorter riffs you can see exactly where you are. - Intuitive controls, ext. pedal input is awesome, if you use this pedal on your desk. Cons: - Volume control is inconsistent. It might be a problem with my unit, but turning the pot to a certain position doesn't always give the same output volume. - Volume knob pops off easily and has a cheap feel. - The -1 octave mode is only usable for creating very basic bass lines. - Took apart the pedal to have a look inside and saw that the metal foot swith is using a good ol' classical tact switch. These type of switches are not designed for heavy use, might not be the best choice for a guitar pedal. - Out jack is also the power trigger. This wouldn't be a problem, but as there's a blinking light at any given time on the pedal, this could be annoying after a time. Pulling the out jack every time causes unnecessary wear and tear both for the cable and the pedal. A simple little power switch could solve this easily.
