At what point does a loop become a song?

Also, any tips on how to generate major label interest in my loops? I've sent demos to all the big R&B and hip-hop labels and I haven't gotten a call back.

These videos are great. I love the sounds you get out of the pedals.

Yeah there are some nice sounds in this thing. That would be even more abundantly clear if I could play better. It deserves more love.

Awesome clips, can you tweak some knobbies while a loop is playing to show some more of what the pedal does? Many thanks :thumb:

Do you mean make something useful and non-masturbatory? Yeah, I can probably do that. I'll see if I can post something tonight after work.

Ok.

Bloodborne for the PS4 came out today, so this is the best demo I could do under these circumstances. I just butchered a simple Lungfish riff over and over and twisted the knobs so you could hear a bunch of settings.

A few things to note:

The first few minutes I am using a Demo Tape Fuzz > Morphine Dream. As you will hear, the Demo Tape Fuzz is really just there as a boost. The gain was at 0. When I turn the fuzz on the Morphine Dream, I turn off the Demo Tape Fuzz.

The 3rd stomp switch is a shallow/deep switch.

The 4th stomp switch is slow/fast switch. When in slow mode (amber light) the purple Speed knob above it works. When in fast mode (green light) the knob does not work by design.

Here is how that Lungfish song is supposed to sound. This album literally changed my musical life back when it came out in 1990. The guitarist Asa Osbourne is definitely one of my biggest influences.

That was great thanks :thumb: , the fuzz sounds awesome. I might try and snag that standard version if the price is fair or I'll order an ultra if they are still available. I've wanted a jet phaser for so long.

Glad it helped you make a decision one way or another.

I made a slight mistake below -- the chain was Morphine Dream> Demo Tape Fuzz in the beginning, not the other way around. I prefer this order from my experiments with different fuzzes.

The onboard fuzz is very sustainy when paired with the RM-1N. Very nice for lead-type playing. I typically use it without the fuzz though as I am more of a low gain fuzz kinda guy. The Demo Tape Fuzz works real nice with this thing for my needs.

Mine is #4, so I imaging there are some left as he is making 10 of them. He quoted me a 2-3 month turn around, but it took about 4 months. He said it was because got behind building a prototype for NAMM.

I just noticed this company went out of business a few months ago. The website is gone and his Facebook says he isn't making pedals any longer. Although he does quip that he might make a Morphine Dream for around $1600. I may have gotten the last one.

Anyone know what happened?
