Sounds sweet.
This little baby here will blow your mind with its simplicity and its power. Before buying it I was between this one and the Bugera V22. I actually chose this because of its size and price that were slightly different from the V22, a friend of mine has the V22 and I loved playing on it so I was a bit skeptic of the BC15 but I have to say I was not disappointed whatsoever. It has a really warm tune. I use with my Strat, it has 69's Custom Fender single coils and when I turn the BC15 bass knob a bit up, bam. I usually play blues so it delivers what I expect from it. I've used it in a couple of small gigs and the louder I've played it the better it sounded. I wouldn't recommend for a big scheme since it's only 15W but otherwise - specially if you're looking for a good tune for practicing (and for that the Phones input it's marvelous as well) it's guaranteed satisfaction. The Gain knob also doesn't fall far behind, I haven't spend much time since I'm always with my Tube Screamer plugged in, but from what I've tried it's pretty good.

Perfect for it's side, very useful LEDs lights.
I'd say this is one of the most reliable, solid pedals I have. It has 8 9V and 2 18V outs, which at least for me it's plenty. The thing with the LEDs is pretty great. I had a problem once when a pedal was failing the sound for a couple of days and then one day after I moved my pedal board it just stopped working. I noticed that a LED on the brick lit red. I took a look at it and found out that after I moved the board a power cord between the brick and the pedal was almost broken. It never happened onstage but it's a pretty great advantage to have this warning before you play. If you plug your board and see a red light there you can work on it before it fails your song in the middle of the gig. Cheers

I would give it 4 stars, but I gave it 5 and here's why:
This pedal it's one of the best purchases I've ever made. It's simple and precise. Tap, rec. Double tap, stop. Tap, play. Tap again, record again. Dub, dub, dub, done. Double tap and hold, erase. You can seriously get that down in one sit with this cat. The only, and I mean ONE AND ONLY, thing I have to say about DITTO is that I'd like for it to have an option of overdubbing right after you finish your first round. For example: I do a base for an intro and I'd like to record the intro solo that enters on the very first beat of the base, that I can't do. There's at least a second of delay after you can press it again to record the first overdub. Then you have to wait for the whole base to finish the loop and start the recording from the first beat again. Outside of that, it's just perfect! Ah, and since it's so small I decided to take off the volume knob, I kept kicking it by mistake on the berserk of a solo and screaming the looped base over my lead or practically muting it outta nowhere, it just solved it right away.

Yes! What a great idea. The volume knob has gotten in my way, as well. I don't know why I never thought to remove it. Thanks :)
