This is my first time buying a loop pedal and I'm pretty much exclusively a bedroom player, so I have no perspective on live gigging.
You basically have three modes: loop, drums and combined. You switch between each side by either pressing down on the dials on each side or by pressing the button in the middle to loop with a drum track.
The looper controls are pretty basic, one button to stop and another to start, plus basic dub and undo buttons.
The drum controls are even simpler, press the same button to start or stop. The drum beats are ok sounding, you'd probably be embarrassed gigging with them but good for home use.
All in all would definitely recommend this if you're looking to get started with looping at home.
