Wow.
First off the build quality of this is wayyyy better than expected. It's incredibly dense and as long as I don't mash the knobs by accident I think this will last a long time. Very heavy for how small it is. And it's alot smaller than I expected too, measuring 4.5x3.5 inches. Takes up about the same amount of space as two mini pedals. Really like the thin case design too. Okay now enough about the superficial. It's what's on the inside that counts:It's a looper just like any other that allows for 10 mins stereo recording with unlimited overdubs along with an undo feature. It has playback speed and reverse FX. I run stereo pedals so this was the cheapest stereo looper I could find. Originally I was gonna buy a EHX 720 but rolled the dice on this one. While it doesn't let you store loops like the 720, the thing about this I found most interesting was the speed FX. Unlike the 720, when reducing the speed, the pitch also changes respectively, so if you speed up your loop 2x, it'll get an octave higher in pitch, and vice-versa. The 720 preserves pitch. This seemed like a cool feature and I was right. Slowing down your loops by 2x lets you get a really wattery, ambient sound with no digital artifacts. They don't list bitrates or anything like that on their website but the audio quality of this unit is superb.Another really cool thing you can do is record different mono signals to different speakers using the right and left level knobs. I haven't played around with this a whole lot yet but there's a video online that briefly goes over this. Really cool feature I haven't seen another looper have.Now for the gripes. I have three things. When looping continuous sounds, like really verby pads, sometimes when the loop plays back there's a little gap right when the loop starts. Doesn't mess with tempo or anything, just affects really ambient loops. Also, the pots that control the left and right speakers seems a little scratchy. Most people probly won't notice either of these though. My biggest complaint is the "USB" support. The software used to access your recorded loops is super sketchy. My antivirus wouldn't let me download it because it thought it might be malicious. I eventually got it installed, and it made me install a Chinese version of C++. Finally the installation was complete but it wouldn't recognize the pedal. Never got it to work. I might try to reinstall later but the whole experience could have been alot better.Overall, a stellar pedal. Especially for the price. I'll update this if I have problems but like I said, this thing is well made. 9/10. Would recommend and would buy again.

Very helpful tone shaping/song writing tool
This pedal is an amazing value for what you get compared to others out there. I was specifically looking for a stereo looper where you could loop different tracks to different amps, I.e., ( L R ). I use it primarily to set up two different guitar tones and to hear them at the same time to get the proper context. It works great for this because you can turn down and adjust the amplifiers to make them complement each other. I also use it to write different guitar parts that way I can hear it the way it will sound recorded one guitar to the left one to the right instead of stacking a second track on top of another in the same amplifier. It just gives you more control to turn down or turn up And tweak A second track separately I think it’s a very useful tool and timesaver if you’re going to record. The only reason I didn’t give it all the stars is because it’s a little confusing to figure out and the manual is also a little confusing so I imagine if they could fix that they would have a home run. I have not used it very long so I do not know about longevity.

Great looper. Great price.
The media could not be loaded. Exactly what I wanted in a looper pedal.10 minutes of recording time + infinite tracks within those 10 minutes? Yes!!!I wanted to have a tool to build soundscapes in real time. The CNZ RePete lets me do exactly what I envisioned.There is no battery dock and so make sure to get a power supply with a cable that works for your rig.The pedal has some effects, but I haven't bothered with them.If you just want a solid looping pedal at a good price, this is one definitely worth considering. I have no regrets about buying, owning, and using this hunk of brilliant metal.

Good looper, for the price
The owner's manual isn't great, and I still have a little trouble remembering how to do everything, but the pedal does its job. It would be nice if speeding-up/slowing-down the recording wouldn't change the pitch, but oh well.

Small, rugged case and buttons, super slim.
This product came in a great case and with USB, it is super slim and rugged. I have made some complex jams, song length with bass and guitar in seperate channels and I have then played drums to the playback, sounds amazing. LEDs are bright and I love that, could easily make less bright with tape if needed. The re-pete versions silkscreen is fun and makes the pedal look like it belongs on a wildman’s pedal board. *Warning* Id like to give wildman buyers a heads up, the top three knobs are plastic build and have plastic pots that are not top mounted, see photo.

Steer Clear
This arrived as a box within a box (the Amazon way) making it abundantly clear that the damaged inner packaging left the warehouse that way. Opening it found scuffs and abuse on the pedal itself; it was a used pedal despite the listing, invoice and price claiming it was new. And it doesn’t work. Or cannot work without a unique AC/DC 9v (not the typical 12v) plug... which it wasn’t sold with... which seems like unethical business practices. Nonetheless, whomever sent this to us knew they were repackaging a defective item.My son was happily disappointed on his birthday; and now more so days later as we slowly uncover these deficiencies in the absence of a manual or tangible reference material. Very unfortunate that businesses conduct themselves like this with impunity. CNZ Audio should be ashamed of themselves.

Received replacement Re-Pete pedal works great. Changed from 2 star to 4.5-to 5 star.
Did not come with power adapter needed to use pedal. Website of manufacturer does not have any user manuals available for this product either. If you take the time to figure it out on your own, and purchase an adapter, then you have a decent looper pedal with basic effects and unlimited overdubbing. Just a bit shady in my opinion not stating anywhere that it doesn't come with everything needed to use or operate.

Cool idea, but can’t handle distortion
This pedal can’t handle overdub distortion. Will start popping and cackling like crazy. I think the controls are intuitive and wished it could handle distortion better.
