How To Repair a Bricked Ditto X4 Looper Pedal

***EDIT EDIT EDIT 8/30/2020***: User B Parker informed me that this issue could be due to the SD card being slightly out of place in the bracket/ catch, making for a simple 5 second fix. Check Jose Argote's video first to see if your pedal has a this quicker fix!:    • DITTO X4 LOOPER “lights problem” FIXED  
IF your pedal has this hardware issue, come back and let the others know to save them the time and pain of the firmware fix! Thanks everyone! Spread the knowledge!
