The AiTone Ai - Loop and the Lekato Loop Station are the same. Tips for using with Macs below.
These little loop pedals are so fantastic! You have 9 slots for storing loops, a maximum of 10 minutes per loop, and 40 minutes total can be stored in the device. These are about a third of the price of the recent Ditto+ pedal with similar functionality, and the only thing these can't do that the Ditto does is the "dynamic loop length" trick, where you can make a longer loop on top of a pre-existing shorter layer.However, for a third of the price, you could get two or three of these, which would give you dynamic loop length functionality between the two of them. I just got the Ai - Loop as a 2nd looper to accompany my Lekato Loop Station. Based on their specs and size/shape, I suspected they were identical products marketed under a different brand, and that indeed seems to be the case (see photo). I wanted to have two of them so that I can keep track of different functions for them, placed in different parts of a complicated signal path, and having the two brands makes them easier to tell apart visually since the Lekato is black and the Ai is red. You can rule the looping world for less than a Benjamin with two of these, and it gives you the flexibility to place them in different strategic points of your signal path, which you couldn't do with a regular loop pedal.Where will you find the space? Well, you can get rid of your tuner pedal. The tuner in these works beautifully, and is easy to see on stage. And they're so compact that two of 'em barely take up more space than one conventionally-housed pedal. And the Ditto series doesn't have a built-in tuner. Very smart addition to this design.In looking at reviews of this and the identical Lekato device online, and reading comments on video demos, it seems that a lot of folks have trouble connecting these loop pedals to Apple computers for moving loops around (which is such a powerful part of what these can do--you can essentially use them as a 9-slot sample trigger by loading them with .wav files from your computer if you choose). I have just tested the Ai - Loop, and can confirm that it works with the CubeSuite software that you can get from the Lekato website's page for the Loop Station. I think they call it a "driver" on the Lekato website, but it's basically just a little piece of software that allows you to drag loops off the pedal onto your computer, and drag files on your computer into the slots for loops (just name your files 1.wav through 9.wav before you copy them to the pedal). For Windows PC users, apparently you just connect via USB and it's a simple drag and drop process with no need for extra software.These have to be my favorite budget price point pedals ever. They sound great, they're solidly built, they only draw 100mA, and they're so tiny you can find a spot for one or two on just about any board. Fantastic work, Ai Tone and Lekato!

Nice small size.
I like the size and it is a solid construction, it’s easy to use and the price is great. The nine tracks is a very nice option. I haven’t used it for the tuning option, I have a separate pedal for that but the sound quality is good. I’m only using it for home play so it’s ok. It does have some feedback noise but nothing terrible. I would recommend it for home use.

Good looper, pretty decent tuner
I've been meaning to pick up a looper for a while for jamming/practice at home. Couldn't decide which one and saw a few reviews for this one (well, the Lekato... which is the exact same but a different color). I figured it if was bad I could send it back and if it was decent it was worth the price. It's well worth the asking price and is a pretty good looper.NOTE: You need a 9v adapter to power this. There is no 9v battery option.

Too good to be true until it wasn't - flash memory failure
Seemed like a great device at first: inexpensive, USB-C, decent built quality, good sound quality. I transferred over .wav backing tracks via USB and it was working fine but then the files got corrupted. Tried transferring them back over to the pedal but the pedal kept disconnecting from the computer. Even when it was working the transfer rate was extremely slow, took about 15 minutes to transfer a ~50MB file, so they are obviously using some very low-end flash memory/components. Unfortunately, it stopped working just after the return window expired and I had to pay return shipping to send it back.

Great Low Cost Looper
As others have said, this is identical to the Lekato Looper. Only the color of the enclosure is different. It works really well for my needs: practicing leads that I've set down the rhythm to using the Looper. I am 70 years old and started playing the guitar at age 13. So by now I'm pretty accomplished at playing both rhythm and lead lines. This device allows me to explore new ideas and different voicings while playing alone. I don't put more than 2 loops stacked as most devices start to lose something. This device being digital it reproduces pretty true to whatever you put into it. I'm using it in the effects loop of my Marshall Origin 20 Amp, with mostly a Mustang guitar w/P-90s and a LP Junior w/2 Humbuckers. Sounds great.Oh, and best of all you can buy the Lekato "Page Turner" wireless footswitch that gives you an additional pedal to easily move through the different loops. It runs about $25 from Amazon. It's the "LEKATO Page Turner for Tablets". The two together make a low cost option for busking.My only negative is the lack of enough controls on the Looper Pedal. You push the main switch one, or more times, or hold it down depending on what you are doing with the pedal. I keep forgetting the switch presses and erase the loop I've just completed. Your mileage my vary as I'm an old codger. In my humble opinion I would highly recommend this product.I nearly forgot, this is the SECOND unit as Amazon replaced the first one. It apparently burned out as it had that "fried electronics" smell and was dead. I purchase nearly all my gear from Amazon nowadays as they are very reliable and easy to return items if needed.

4.5 is the real rating.
The looper works well, especially for the price point. Watch a video on how to use the looper and its usable within minutes.
