I'm watching this nearly a year after it was published and I find myself concerned if Mr. Knobs' finger is okay now. To your health, Sir Knobs! I just got my Blooper and I love it. :)
I love love love knobs and am so happy he got to make his dream pedal come true but lets be real about who the real hero is here. Joel and Chase Bliss are doing some of the coolest, most innovative and open-minded shit in modern music and sound design. True artists in it for the soul of it.
I'm a bit confused. When I see the trimmer being used here I notice it shortens the overall length of the recording. In other words, the red rings around the modifier buttons flash indicating the loop has run its total length. On my Blooper, even if I shorten the loop with Trimmer, the recording length of the loop stays exactly the same as when I started. Is this a setting I can change somehow?
The scrambler is fab! But the filter modifier is very useful, as so often happens when playing over loops, the eq of your current guitar signal masks and is masked by the loop foundation. The filter is yet another useful way to hear a distinction between all the parts.
i can only find one slight mention of this anywhere, but how many audio channels are we talking for blooper? i see three contacts on the in/out sockets so does that mean stereo?
@@ChaseBlissAudio When during the development did this change? I remember some press releases stated it will be stereo. That's a real bummer, since tape recording style effects should really live at the end of the chain...
Jaard Hauschildt - it was never advertised as stereo. My motherboard platform makes that impossible so I never even would’ve teased it as a possibility in this platform
@@ChaseBlissAudio I'm sure it wasn't you, but I have definitely read that claim in teasers on some sites... why would anyone make this up? I can already tell from the demos that it's awesome though, probably have to get one anyway ;-) EDIT: I meant my earlier comment more as in "infos released by the press", didn't want to imply that you were misleading anyone. Hope it didn't come across like that, sorry if it did!
Question: So the Smooth Stop Modifier also has a reverse feature?... witch is implemented by turning the knob to noon and the to the left? Last time you turned that knob left, it slowed down the loop (tape stop)... but then once its at noon again and you turn it back to the left... its now in reverse...am I missing a step? Also...Your playing, the way you narrate your videos, and Blooper itself, all have similar characters... in a good way... no, in an ingenious way!
Forgive me if I'm missing something. But, does anyone know how to add a modifier just to the latest layer, rather than the whole loop? I used to like getting a backwards or sped up track on my old looper by changing the time or speed, recording, and then changing back to the normal loop with an effected layer. Is the Blooper too complex for that, or am I just missing it?
They mentioned this in the previous video and here in the faq: blooper.chaseblissaudio.com/faq In essence, you can't treat a layer as an individual item. It'll include itself and the layers beneath it.
@ChaseBlissAudio I own 4 of your pedals ( mood, habit thermae, blooper) which I really enjoy. What I miss in all of them is an fx loop( send return). Maybe something to consider in future releases, as it would be fun to add ,let's say lossy just on the repeats of the the thermae. I m aware that space is an issue but I believe that the cv/ expression input could be used with a stereo y cable to achieve this. Thank you.
I have a question - how long can a recording be to loop on, could you for instance do an 8 bars or 16 bar loop? I've not seen any info on this. how much memory is available in the blooper?
@@ItsThatJahncke2 Yes. Think of it as just 1 loop, up to 32s. The other 7 are overdubbed on top of that. You can also just leave it in recording mode and get infinite overdubs, but then they're all 'printed' onto the loop and you cant undo or separate any layers.
