Works fantastic with the boss RC1 loop station. Double clicking the loop to stop it is such a pain! This allows a solid punch out so you can hit the beat and not take away the functionality of the pedal itself with overdubbing. Easily triples my enjoyment of the RC1. Very solidly built like all Biss products.
