I just got my 22500 and am so disappointed and frustrated with this. I compared a bunch of loopers I’m person and online before getting the 22500 and I chose the 22500 because on paper it looks like just what I wanted. More manageable footprint than the 48000 with built in buttons so I thought I could try it out as a stomp before investing in the extra footswitch, more banks and recording time than the 720.

I’ve been using the reissue 16 second delay as a live looper for years, and I assumed the 22500 with many similar features but adding banks, sd card storage, rhythms, and stereo functionality, would be the perfect update. I am really shocked that the 22500 has no easy loop erase feature, but I’m even more shocked that there has been no update now that EHX has been promising one for over a year, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE 720 ALREADY HAS MOST OF THE FEATURES PEOPLE ARE REQUESTING FOR THE 22500! The 720 has easy loop erase, instant undo/redo via the auxiliary bank footswitch, and footswitchable octave and reverse. The 16 second delay RI has similar footswitchable features and is much older. And the 48000 has extensive MIDI control, which I’d think was easy to implement over USB for an established company like ehx that’s done this for so long.

I own and use a lot of EH pedals and have been impressed with the new products the company has been putting out. I wish I had come across these forum comments before buying because at the very least the lack of erase is a deal breaker, but I didn’t see it mentioned in any of the reviews or demo videos I checked out before buying, and my existing experience with other ehx looper products led me to expect so much more.
