Simple affordable looper for practice with questionable built quality

I had this looper in a portable pedalboard for practicing with my guitar. It has been useful to create a base track to play over, recording what I played to listen/compare after, and experiment creating multiple sound layers. Unfortunately, after a couple years of moderate use at home, overdubbing results in harsh noises.

It has been unfortunate since it is not easy to find an affordable looper with these features:

• Having two buttons for the simplicity of operation. With two buttons the options are clear in every moment. No extra effort required to think how many times I need to tap a single multi-function button (while my brain is already busy playing).
• Long recording time. 10min of looping time seems more than enough. I never had to worry about exceeding this time.
• Analog dry-through. Being from a more affordable brand, I can accept the recorder quality not being excellent, but I didn't want interferences in my signal when the looper is not used. The Twin looper keeps the dry signal unaffected when it passes through.

Sound quality was good, with minimal but noticeable degradation from the digital conversion. I was not expecting it to last forever, but it broke much sooner than expected.

From Gear Setup

Useful, affordable and good sounding looper.

It's very affordable looper pedal that gives all you can expect and more for the buck.

Pros:

10 Minutes of looping with infinite overdubs.

2 Footswitches gives you more control. One of them also can be set to Stop or add effects to the looper.

Reverse and playback speed controls.

2 Channels with dedicated volume controls which you can also swap the output.

Abble to connect to pcs to store or recall records.

Works well with almost every instrument

Cons:

Two knobs requires more practice to avoid mistakes when playing live.

Sound quality is quite good on live gigs but not excellent or ideal for studio and hi-fi tones.
