i wound up delving farther into cheap cases when a Temu ad fed me a blue flat case with brown trim that i can use for the Hopf. i like to color-code cases when possible which it often isn't. while ordering that they fed me a green Fender-style "thermometer" case that'll be perfect for the Gemini Tele or the Es-Squier. like sixty bucks each. the blue one is probably about as funky as the brown one i got for the Kondor, but the green case looks promising. the blue case is supposed to arrive today, but i don't think that's going to happen because it's only gotten from Boston to Maryland so far. gradually closing in on having enough cases for everybody...some of the others will take Les Paul cases, including the Supro and M-75.

My use case doesn't generally require precision in starting/stopping loops, so that makes my opinion less valuable for other folks, but generally speaking, all of the Chinese brand loopers I've bought have ranged from "fine" to "surprisingly good".

Solid cases I can't comment on, though I bought a couple soft cases for my lap steel from Ali Express. The first one was lousy — the zipper pulled down to the bottom, so when the weight inside pushed down and loosened the zipper, the lappie could just fall right out. The replacement has ben serviceable.

i’m curious about the looper’s drum and metronome functions. i very much doubt that i’d record using the drums, but it could be handy for practice at playing im time. i gather that the metronome does like 8 or 12 different time signatures, but probably not odd meters. i literally haven’t even plugged it in yet.
