Why the MXR Clone Looper Is Criminally Underrated

My ditto X4 is failing (intermittent switch issues) and I'm looking to downsize. My main question about the MXR looper is can you have the play/stop button do a stop first?

Essentially the way I use the X4 is I will be playing a song and capture a loop of the verse but I don't want to capture a chorus or bridge part of the playing. I want to capture just the verse part, hit a button to stop recording the loop and then just keep playing the song through the chorus and bridge and then when I get to a solo or something that is played over a verse part, I would then play that loop of the verse part of the song that I previously captured.

It seems like the MXR wants to play the loop when you hit that button which is the one thing I do not want it to do since when I'm done capturing the loop, I am always transitioning to something after the verse of the song and I dont want to immeidately have the pedal playing the verse loop when the song itself is now in a chorus or pre-chorus.

Hopefully that makes sense. The X4 has that dedicated stop button to stop the loop capture and then if I hit the loop button itself again, it starts playing whatever I captured.

Any idea how to set this back to buffered bypass?
