Logan Ressler - Agreed. I love knobs, but most demos end up sounding like a music box falling down stairs... I wanna know what it sounds like when more... pedestrian guitar is played through it. Haha
Agreed ,I like knob’s other videos too dont get me wrong but for this pedal that has so much it helps a ton to hear the clean original well played signal before you process it with all th features .
Greta tutorial to get us competent. I used Blooper for first time last night, read manual today and then watched your vid in tandem with manual. Daniel Son is ready to wax on.
Dude, so helpful! Thank you! Definitely going to watch all your videos as I just got a mood and blooper and my preconceived notions of what these devices could do are repeatedlly blown away. Cheers!
Missed the kickstarter but Im doing a lot of homework on this thing to make sure I know how to use it when I get it. Appreciate the tutorials and would love to see more. Happy looping!
Yup. Pretty sure it has been fixed since this video. Had to redo all my outlets in my studio after finding out nothing was grounded. 🤦♂️ Gotta love house flippers! 😑
@@kevwyxin awesome! Yep, man it’s wild dealing with a power buzz, isolating it can be a pain but man o man is it worth it! Maybe it’s just me but I can’t handle it Thanks for the vid, I’m loving this pedal more because of it!
This is a very helpful demo in a "real world" context, thanks! My Blooper is arriving this afternoon & this helps make diving in easier. Looks like a very deep design!
Thank you for this video! I'm looking forward to add this to my pedalboard I've spent a lot of care designing. Looking forward to create some happy mistakes! 😊
i love these types of looper so much but it gives me so much anxiety haha! i get really bad option paralysis with these types of thing, and always end up just using the regular stuff, but it sounds so freaking cool! especially the tape style wobble.
Utaï i felt the same way I was watching the early videos . I was like you are adding so much options to this that at the end its so difficult to play live and a headache in studio but i think it just needed to be well explained.
Agreed. At first I thought it was too much, then it started to make sense. I got it in my hands and it's stupid easy to use and the options are nice to have because it really stimulates creativity.
kevwyxin excellent! Thanks! Best pedal video I’ve seen, really helpful. Mine’s coming at the end of the month, can’t wait , will be rewatching a lot then!
Great demo! Just got mine on my board and I’m looking forward to getting familiar with it! P.S. the toilet paper on top of the guitar case was foreshadowing 😆
My modifier 5 is not the same as yours. It is some sort of a loop trimmer. I can manipulate how much of the loop is played. I actually think on mine that 3 on mine is your 5 and my 5 is your 3. Also when I do one shot layer recording mine seems to cut my loop in half when overdubbing modifiers
When you say 'one shot' are you referring to the sample mode? I was just playing with that mode a little more last night, but still have more to learn. That's also curious about the modifiers. I wonder if that is an unintentional mistake. You should bring it up on r/blooper
kevwyxin turns out I have a pre production firmware loaded on my blooper after reaching out to chase bliss. They sent out an email this morning explaining that around 100 of us got ours with old firmware. When I was saying one shot record I meant the function that will only record for the length of the loop
prnts I just read that email before seeing this comment. :) As for the one shot recording I haven’t noticed that issue. I’ll play around with it but maybe it’s another bug from pre-production firmware? 🤷♂️ I’m curious if it does the same thing after your firmware update.
I think your videos are the best for instructional purposes. If you keep it up I think you'll increase the number of subscribers. Please don't get fancy. These low budget productions are all we need. I'd love it if you did a similar video on the Thermae. It's a great pedal but it's a bitch to use for those of us who don't have ton's of time.
Oh it was for sure a ground loop. Found out last year that none of my outlets in the basement/studio were grounded when our house was flipped. 🤦♂️ Had it fixed though! 👍
thanks this was really helpful... i would like to see a vid on the dipswitches and if its possible to the cv would work with modular gear. im still on the fence with this one. have nothing but love and respect for the whole project but unsure if its what i need rn. new sub btw, watch that buzz in the future please ;) thanks for the demo dude!
Yes. There is a lot of flexibility, but it could also get messy. As far as I know, you could record a loop, add your modifier, turn off said modifier, record an overdub, and you would have 3 layers. Raw, modified (which is all you hear from the raw now), overdub (unmodified). Then you could add a modifier to that, but it would apply that modifier to all layers...not just the last overdub. That's why I say it *could* get messy...it could also get super creative and cool. ;)
Hi, thank you so much for the hard work. Could you tell me where this noise comes from ? Is it the guitar or the pedal? CBA are awesome! I do collect their stuff, however some of their pedals do have some ground hum ... thank you
If I didn't have the Stability knob turned up, then it probably came from my guitar. The single coils create some low level noise based on my lighting and setup and everything.
Are there any other looper pedals on the market that have that layers function? Being able to deconstruct and hear the individual overdubs by themselves?
nothing exists that let you gently add and remove layers with a knob sweep. other pedals have "tracks". rc505 has 5 stereo tracks that work sort of like this. the deluge has fabulous loop function too. this is the size of a phase 90. those other things are gigantic. theyre both amazing too.
Thank you, I always think it's easier to see an on hand presentation. I'm a little confused about saving loops. It looks like you erased one but then you recovered it. Is there a way to permanently delete. I know you're probably going to do more videos on blooper. I would like to know more about midi connections. Thanks again.
I'll probably go over the saving/loading/deleting of loops in a future video just to reiterate how it's done. I haven't found how to permanently delete a loop yet but I'm trying to figure it out. I also want to know more about midi connections! :) I'm looking into some various midi pedals and other stuff to get better equipped for doing some videos on midi with CBA pedals. That's a world I'm really itching to get into more.
Nice demo. It is been a great help. Question, my stability knob adds so much noise that it becomes useless.. yours sounds really great? Do I have a defective unit ot is it a question of upgrade firmware?
If you haven't updated the firmware I would encourage you to do that. Before the update I noticed some weirdness with the stability knob and it seems to be a lot more...*ahem*...stable after the firmware update. The effect does get pretty intense above noon but it can still sound nice depending on what you're going for. :)
Olav Christensen I’m not sure. I haven’t tried clearing one yet. You could probably just overwrite a bank with nothing. As in delete the active loop and then save “nothing” in that bank. Also there is midi capabilities so yes I believe you can but I don’t know the exact CC or PC your midi controller would need to send. There is a midi manual included with the blooper though so that should tell you. :)
ascsoms towards the end of this video I explain how loading and saving a saved loop work. It sounds complicated but once you do it it’ll make sense. :)
Can you have infinite layers? For example, keep it playing from the first recorded layer to the last one, where you played around with the mods. Is there a way to hear them all simultaneously? Because for what I understood, if you turn the layers knob clockwise, it gets rid of the first layer, right?
You can have up to 8 layers. Each layer stacks on top of the last, so when you record layer 2 after layer 1, you will hear layers 1 & 2. When you record a 3rd layer you'll now hear 1, 2, & 3...and so on until you hit layer 8, then layer 8 just continues to compound whatever new stuff you record. Layers knob fully clockwise is hearing all of the layers stacked together. Turning it counter clockwise will remove the last layer. So if you have 8 layers, it will first remove layer 8, then 7, then 6, etc.
@@kevwyxin Thanks! I don't know what I was doing wrong, maybe I accidentally moved some knob or switch or I was pressing it the wrong way. I wasn't being able to overdub as with any other looper, so I was feeling really confused. And even though I know blooper is not meant to be like any other looper used only for dubbing, I wanted to understand the basics first. But I wasn't getting anywhere and didn't know why. But thanks to your video and your response, I'm getting a better grasp of it all. Thanks so much!
prnts I realize now that you say this I don’t demonstrate how to save the loop. In part 2 I’ll show how to save a loop in addition to the dip switches. Thanks! In the meantime you save it by picking your bank and then pressing and holding the record footswitch. So same method I used to load a saved loop just press and hold the other footswitch. 🙂
