Anyone that wants a weird loop pedal that does interesting things and can synchronize with a MIDI setup should check out the LP2. This odd (as in odd time signature not weird) replacement feature (1/10!) makes the LP2 unique and can generate some very strange and amazing loops quite quickly once you learn how the 4 buttons interface with eachother. I have yet to fully experiment with this kind of metric modulation with the MIDI sync. It might be a bit confusing when dealing with replace functions like 1/9 which divides the loop (assumed to be 4/4) into 9 equal parts or 1/7 which divides the loop into 7 equal parts. The MIDI clock input assumes 4/4 timing coming in." The LP2 will synchronize to a MIDI clock on the MIDI in port when you record a new loop with MIDI present. The MIDI clock assumes that the loop is one measure and that you are in 4/4 timing. "The LP2 provides MIDI clock message on the MIDI out port whenever a loop is playing. I'm really not concerned about expectations over how perfect it should be, all I want is something that locks the loop to the tempo and the LP2 seems to deliver.
The MIDI sync seems to work nicely as a slave to Ableton Live. I'll keep trying feeback pedals though and hope. Even if the feedback control is broken and not user error I would keep this pedal because I love it so much.

It would be nice if the manual or Looperlative website had power supplies and feedback controllers or at least a list of ones that work with the LP2. Different but effective and allows me to run effects seperate from the loop channel. Anyway I rectified this problem by running a stereo split to my Peavey Special 130 and using the FVC100 after the LP2 to control the loop volume.
I haven't had any luck with the feedback control, I've tried a Roland EV5 and a Behringer FVC100 and can't seem to make any difference in the sound of the loop feedback. It doesn't come with a power supply but I tried both a Jim Dunlop and Mutec 9v/200ma that I use to run my Boss/Digitech pedals and they both work fine. I was looking for MIDI sync, reverse, and 1/2 time which the LP2 has along with 1/4 speed and a whole spectrum of loop dividing replace functions, undo, and 8 song slots for saving loops. Both of those pedals are delays with looping capabilities but this LP2 is a dedicated looper only. My background in the loop pedal market has been limited to the loop functions on the Digitech Digidelay and the Line 6 DL4.
