I bought this zoom to do some experiments with "pedal" simulators. Plenty of effects and rhythms is good to play around and exploring. It is totally plastic, colour is absolutely awfull for me, and for the price I do not expect to last more then a year. I connected for recording and I am not happy with the sound. Lot of noise in some effects. Good point for me are the rhythms, there are a lot, changeble with the Metronome. Sound of the drum is not great, but again for this price, I did not expect more than that. As loop station not sure, you can record up to 30 seconds, but I did not manage to save it. Overall is a good toy for beginner intermediate players who does not know a lot about pedals and effects.
