I'm very unhappy with mine. Any time I record a loop, the playback begins with a full second of silence. I've already sent the pedal back, but apparently this issue wasn't fixed. At first I thought it was because I was using the wrong power supply, but now I have the same one that Rick uses. I also have the "cutting out and resetting" issue. It's definitely related to the power supply. There's a delicate connection in there somewhere. If the pedal gets nudged at all while I'm pressing a switch, it will briefly lose power. This second issue doesn't happen if I use the 9v battery. I've given up, and ordered an Electro-Harmonix Memory Man with Hazarai to take the place in my chain that was going to be the LP-2. Still waiting for that one to arrive.
