Flooper anyone?

Has anyone on here Flooped a Flooper?

A guy (wrightdude) on TGP has put this Flooper together for to feed-loop the noise.
Can be expressionated by EHX 8-Step or other devices to squeeze fun from fuzz.

Well, since I post on TGP sometimes I should have started by describing myself as "some guy from TGP".
I guess it's also more accurate to describe wrightdude as "some dude from TGP".

It's fortunate that the sound of pedals isn't filtered through online guitar forums, even if guitarists
sometimes filter out pedals based on which forums talk about which pedals.

For me, the proof is in the pudding of concept, and the sound pudding is in the proof of concept.
Feedback loop for fuzz controllable through expression input device makes for great sounds.
I just wondered if anybody here had heard of this Flooper, and/or checked one out.

That is tight as fuck man! I've always wanted a feedback looper that worked well with fuzz! How many monies are they?

Good question! I don't exactly know. I'll try to find out.

sorry....
I wasn't shitting on it! Or the builder. or even TGP for that matter.
To the contrary, I think the pedal is awesome, and the guy/dude (don't think my english is good enough to pick up the differences on this one)
is awesome for making it, especially as it seems to offer extra functionality over the Electrofaustus one, chk chk boom or the others....
I bookmarked his YTchannel to be able to contact him if I gots moneyz for a Flooper....

I just found it really funny that everything in that video is like made for ILF,
but it comes from the place that is often (tongue-in-cheeky) made out to be the complete antithesis,
full of horrible horrible blues lawyers, and if an ILF-regular posts there he's good as dead.

also it'S a full moon

edit: Oh!

because his name is wrightdude and not wrightguy?

Hi folks... yes... I am "that" dude...

I am working my way through a first build lot which is kinda filled up.... Once I get these out of the way I should be able to put some up on Reverb or somewhere? Probably in a month or so?

I will have to make a vid that steps through all the features... there is a momentary switch that can be set to turn "on" feedback, or "off" momentarily... also when the loop is by-passed, the momentary can turn on the whole shebang (momentarily).

Another subtle but important feature is an "invert" switch. Many fuzzes use inverting circuit topologies... which is fine until the inverted output signal is fedback to the input, then it "cancels" rather than oscillates... "Invert" solves that...

Yes, Flooper was designed pretty much fuzz in mind....

Yeah. That was me making a lame joke.

As far as your joke about TGP... it's cool. I didn't take it personally. ILF does have a strong
stance on TGP. Which is mostly deserved, but not really worth getting worked up about.

ILF is like a local, small guitar shop and TGP is like a corporate boxstore selling "lifestyle"
musical gear on an industrial scale. TGP, for the most part, is more "middle of the road".
But there are a few threads on TGP where people with divergent or niche musical sensibilities
gather to talk civilly about their obsession with useful and unique gear.

It is true that much of TGP consists of discussion by or about "blues lawyers" and whether
or not such people wear "tan pants". Tan pants seem to be the epitome of those who lack style
and yet are drawn to a "pragmatic" pair of pants that ironically are prone to registering every
errant splash of urine for those who wear them and then insist on standing too close to the
urinal and/or have sloppy urination "technique". If a person wants to pursue the law and play
the blues and wear tan pants... then for god's sake, don't let pee stains splash your pants!

F'LOOPER might be more grammatically correct... since the F(eedback) is represented by the F'.

But FLOOPER sounds like a Disney/'60s Sci-Fi movie about some new substance discovered by the friendly
neighborhood amateur scientist (played by Fred MacMurray) that accidentally destroys the world.

or maybe LOOP'F for loop-feeder?

Fred MacMurray strikes again with the FLUCK-LUBER:

The fuck is that Kniv, though?
Is it a feedback looper in the traditional sense or does it have delay-based feedback? Because, when they played it with the delay it seemed as though it increased the feedback/repeats of the delay but didn't induce oscillation or anything.
