Simplify your looping and sampling with Fishman’s 1-button AFX Broken Record Mini looper/sampler! This highly intuitive looper pedal can hold up to six minutes of 24-bit, 44.1kHz audio, with infinite sound-on-sound overdub capability to build up massively layered loops. Moreover, the AFX Broken Record Mini offers a sampling mode that allows you to load up WAV samples via USB for customized soundscapes or jam-along backing tracks. Need to slot your AFX Broken Record Mini into a mammoth pre-existing pedalboard setup? Sweetwater guitarists love how the AFX Broken Record Mini features both true bypass and buffered bypass modes to optimize your signal chain. It may be a broken record, but this pedal delivers top-class looping power!
My Broken Record is Broken
The good: easy to operate, sounds great, works in front of my EVH LBXII or in the loop, no noise, sounds good with clean or distorted electric tones and acoustic guitars. The bad: I've had it for less than 3 months and used it under 5 hours total and it stopped working. Pressing the switch on the pedal does not trigger the expected record, loop, overdub, etc. functions. The light does not always light up and it's not recording. I tried a different power supply and different instrument cables in and out of the pedal but it didn't help. I disconnected it from power overnight but it behaved the same way today. I really liked the pedal when it was working. I could not find "factory reset" instructions on the Fishman site so I'm sending it in for repair under warranty.
