Like any Donner Pedal you order, the 1st thing you will notice is that The Beltway Looper comes in a nice-looking, protective container. It's insulated with foam, has complete directions, and even includes some cool decals if you are in to that. I have to wear reading glasses to read the directions, but they are simple and straight-forward so not a big deal. I'm new to Looper Pedals, so I did a little homework 1st and that made using this pedal simple. As you can see by my pedal board photo I applied it to the end of my "Donner Pedal" chain to take advantage of all the effects pedals I have. Since this is a "Nano" or mini-size pedal, there is no 9-volt battery slot, my Donner Power Supply worked just fine.
The key to using a Looper pedal is to know what you want to loop, and then practice it a few times. Once you have it you tap the pedal in time and the indicator light turns red to show you are recording. Tap again at the end and the light turns green, and your loop is now playing through your source...Simple! As a training aid this is great, you can loop a simple chord progression or bass riff, and then do whatever you want with the loop. If you aren't happy with it just hold down the button and erase the loop. Or, tap the pedal again and now you are overdubbing another track on top of the 1st, I looped 3 tracks on top of each other with no problem. When erasing you hold down the button and erase the last track you looped. Donner says there is enough on-board memory to fill 10 minutes, it may be a while before I hit that threshold. There is a switch for Normal, 1/2 speed, and reverse play, to add more functionality to the pedal. There is also a volume switch on the pedal that is very useful to add or reduce the volume of your loop independent of the volume of your source.
This pedal comes with a USB cord to hook up to a computer for downloading/uploading tracks. I found a website and using the directions I was able to download a drum track to use with no problem. The only issue that you will run into here is making sure you have a power source to power the pedal during your computer time. The last thing I did with the pedal was to put together a small 3-track loop, and then as if it was the greatest thing I had ever created I uploaded it to my computer. I am very pleased with the functionality of this pedal, Donner continues to make affordable, useful products that make creating music easy and fun. If you are looking for an easy-to-use, mini-looper with plenty of space, The Donner Beltway Looper is for you!

- A compressor pedal is used to help adjust the frequency and volume of the guitar signal, making the loud parts less intense and the overall volume cleaner and more consistent.
- For this feature, it is widely used in many styles and genres like rock, metal, funk or playing with Delay / Reverb pedals.

For all the experienced guitarists in the room.
Glassy squeeze to your tone. Every note rings out at the same volume and out does it fast. They say it's based on the 1176, and it does have that squishy bounce that an 1176 can muster. Quite a lot of clean gain on tap and the fast response at the fastest settings impressed me. Think Steely Dan or Michael MacDonald style cleans and it pairs well with overdrives and hard clip distortions. It's transparently quiet at the optimal settings. There's nothing here to dislike. At the cost of a single pub visit you can get a great compressor tone. Nobody as of this writing have made videos about it. Take it from me, Theres NOTHING TO DISLIKE about this pedal. 4/5 stars because I feel the ratio knob is mislabeled as "limit".

The one big problem I encountered with this pedal is that the gate would kick in too soon and cut off sounds I didn't want it to even when I had the threshold knob turned all the way left. I was able to correct this by placing a boost between this pedal and the guitar to ensure my signal was always elevated by a few decibels. It was an easy enough problem to address, but I feel like a noise gate pedal should have a much lower threshold floor out of the box. I have a separate noise gate (without a loop obviously) that I did not have this problem with, and I imagine it might be an annoying thing to encounter for someone who doesn't happen to have a spare boost pedal lying around.
A smaller problem I encountered was that the gate did not close as quickly as I would have liked even with the "Hold" switch flipped to "quick."
This pedal comes priced at about half the cost of pedals from other brands with similar functionality. The pedal fills such a specific function, that I'm surprised to see an affordable pedal brand bother to manufacture it. The build quality is really nice, and the artwork is light-years better than you would typically expect on a budget pedal. It's a good value if you need it for what it does.
Fully functional with some minor quirks.

The point of a noise gate pedal with an effects loop is that it uses your clean tone as the reference point for when to open and close the gate and applies the gate after the pedals in the loop. This is useful for noisy overdrive and distortion pedals that produce feedback, buzz, etc. loud enough to make it nearly impossible for a standard noise gate to differentiate from signal. This pedal performs that function. Turning this pedal off bypasses everything in the loop, which is a nice added bonus for anyone who wants to turn two or more pedals on and off simultaneously.Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2021

The threshold knob controls the level at which the gate opens. The Sophgate also has attack, release, and return knobs (and a hold switch) which provide additional controls for how much, how long and how sudden the gate reacts. This offers a lot of customization and should be enough to adapt the pedal to clean up raw noise without constricting the intended sound effects in almost any situation.
Having send and return ports to create an effects loop through the pedal is perfect. This is a good way to fully isolate and control noisy pedals and reduce unwanted buzzing or humming.
I placed my preamp pedal into the Sophgate effects loop and set the threshold appropriately. With a guitar connected to the Sophgate input and the signal output going into other delay and echo pedals then to the amp, the sound is now clean and crisp - removed all ambient buzzing - but still retains the full range of the preamp pedal’s effects.
With so many controls on the unit it took a bit of fiddling to get the level exactly the way I wanted, but it was worth taking the time to set this up well so now I get the most out of all my pedals and have eliminated the ambient buzz from my setup.
This is a great addition to an effects pedal chain. A worthwhile investment that improves the audio output quality considerably.
