But still it a weired handling with that delay. And it counters the handling of the initial loop. Lets say you do a percussion loop as first loop. Perfectly timed and all very well to do with the internal looper. Lets say its a 4 beat / 1 bar loop. Now you want to overdub recording some backing chords and having a chord change on every beat. I know that I can start the overdub at any point but most likely you will start on a beat because you're used to it from the initial loop. Lets say you overdub on beat 3 playing your 4 chords and stop when you reach the next beat 3. Your result is a overdub sequence with the length of your loop minus ~0.5 seconds. As result you have a 0.5 seconds gap in your backing chords when you treat your overdub same way as the initial loop. So what you have to do is starting on e.g. beat 3 and stopping it way behind the next beat 3 (1 bar loop) but before you reach beat 4. As a result you might get a double recorded section which can be heared too but is a lesser problem than a gap in the loop. This is really weired and I have never encountered that with other 1 switch loopers. However, I appreciate your tips and hints and welcome any further tips. When I don't find anything else I will try out the downgrade to 2.9 and see whether my mind has tricked me or not. I'll let you know here.

Nope, releasing is not a solution. It still takes maybe a quarter of a second after releasing the button before the overdub starts. According to your ideas it might be because the stomp waits for the finish of the interval for the double tap to stop the loop. So the overdub starts when the time for the second tap for stopping has elapsed. What do you mean with the preset restoration? Will I not be able at all to load a 3.1 backup onto a 2.9 firmware stomp or will I just miss the presets in that backup that were created with 3.x? I assume you meant that I will not be able to load a 3.x backup into a 2.9 firmware stomp at all?

Got an overdub problem with the integrated 1 switch looper on my HX stomp. When clicking on the record button the HX stomps starts recording the loop immediatly as it should. After stopping the loop recording stomp goes in playback mode as it should. So far so good., When I press the recording button for an overdub I have a delay of about 0.25 to 0.5 seconds before the overdub recording starts. This makes timing for the switch usage really awfull. It happens on pretty simple presets (only looper + Amp sim, no other pedal, no cabinet sim) so DSP shouldn't be a problem. I'm also pretty shure that I didn't have this problem when I purchased it with Software version 2.9x. I'm now running it on 3.11. Though I'm not using overdub loops very often so I might be wrong. Has anyone experienced the same and has any suggestions about how to fix it? Can I go back to firmware 2.9 without losing all my presets?

As mentioned this is quite normal for one switch loopers (boss rc1 does it same way too). It's a pitty that you can arrange a second switch for stopping the loop (command section for looper) but not deleting it (quietly) when using press+hold. So if you missed deleting it in a live environment and don't want to irritate the audience by restarting the loop for another second before deleting: besides turning down the volume (of HX Stomp, AMP or whatever come behind it) you can also switch to another preset that doesnt have a looper in it. The loop will be deleted when you come back to a preset with a looper.
