I should add that prior to the Ditto, I bought the X4 Delay/Looper back in October, and have - to date - experienced no issues whatsoever. I don't know if they use the same switches on all their products - anecdotal evidence from Loopers' Delight and similar forums suggests that other companies including Line6 use them, too, and that the failure rate is appreciable. I belive there's at least one place specialising in replacement with more robust switches. However, as I'm in the UK, the postage costs outweigh the benefits. I do hope TC isn't expanding beyond it's ability to maintain quality control...

I've had one for almost 3 weeks, and have to say AVOID. Started OK, but become increasingly erractic and unreliable. Not sure if there's an inherrent flaw in the switching mechanism or whether I'm unlucky enough to have been supplied with a faulty one. I have owned and used foot pedals for 40 plus years and this is my first bad experience, so maybe I shouldn't be quite so annoyed, but I'd advise waiting to see whether there's a design element that needs correcting or a component that needs re-sourcing
