I'm getting MIDIed up myself. After years of using minimal to no effects I just decided to bite the bullet and create a presets rig. Went about it a little differently than this out of fear that an affordable looper would have reliability issues (and not having a lot of pedals anymore anyway). Report back on reliability after about 50 gigs with her. These affordable Chinese pieces scare me. I broke so much stuff on the road. An engineer friend of mine used to use me to test prototype durability. I look at the Joyo stuff and I picture myself playing a few gigs and breaking it.

8 loops, programmable along with midi out and 2 switching channels and a discreet tuner output

great value switcher unit, fully programmable that will control your whole board... except rocker pedals like wah and volume rocking function... check the spec's online!

something that does what this unit is capable of would have cost $1000s a few years ago. great value and controllability!
