AITONE Phrase Loop AT07 guitar looper review and tutorial
Transparency notice: AITONE emailed and offered to send a looper pedal to me for free to review, which I accepted. Consider this a sponsored review.
Any time I accept a pedal for review, it has to offer something good that separates it from other like pedals. With the AT07, it offers are few good things I really like.
At the tail of this is my full video review, but here's a quick rundown of how it works and my thoughts on the AT07.
There was a time when I was all about mechanical PC keyboards. I stopped with all that nonsense once my hands started hurting from use of one of those. I would keep bottoming/"thudding" the keys. It did not matter what switch type I used. If the keyboard was mechanical, I would bottom the keys. Not good.
I switched back to regular PC keyboards, and yep, no more hand pain. But I had to find the right one, which I did.
For a while now I've been avoiding eating at Chipotle mainly due to it being complicated. That restaurant is one of those places where you have to know how to order before even going in there. Some say that Chipotle is basically Subway, but instead of sandwiches it's burritos, bowls and tacos. Eh... sort of.
I finally went to a Chipotle. And it sucked.
Many moons ago, I got exposed to one of the best damned printers ever made, the HP LaserJet 4 Plus. People love this thing so much that they are STILL reconditioned and sold on eBay to this day, STILL have new toner cartridges manufactured for them, and STILL have repair kits and replacement parts made to fix them. That's the staying power of the HP LaserJet 4 Plus. It's that good even though it was made 30 years ago.
What made the HP LJ 4+ so good is that it just worked. Black-and-white printing only, reasonable print speed and rock-solid reliable. They were built for office use and cranked out print after print with no complaints.
But can you get this with a new printer now for the home?
On paper, this thing sounds darned near perfect. But there's one thing about it that's not-so good. Bad, in fact.
I really like that Casio has been introducing a good amount of squared-off digitals lately. There's nothing wrong with round, but LCD digits by their very nature are angular, so a square/rectangle shape totally works with it. The WS1700H is a good example of that, as that model is big, square, and not sorry about it.
