Awesome unit. I've had mine for over a year now and have never had any problems with it. I love this bad boy. If you're buying for the ability to scratch you MIGHT want to look elsewhere or at least try to get some hands on experience first cause honestly I'm not impressed with the scratching. HOWEVER, Looping is flawless, pitch shift great for speeding up slow songs without mickey mouse vocals, effects are useful just have to know when to use em and when not to. If it got stolen I'd buy another one in a flash. A LOT Better than anything I've dealt with from American DJ or the crap at local clubs and bars that don't want to buy quality.
