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. :wha?:

If I may.... here is a vid of an early prototype, is shows a little bit of the switching...

Also, I should mention, the exp port controls a voltage controlled filter that is placed in the loop. This is what "tunes" the feedback for fuzz:

I was rooting for it to mean flange-looper. Still am, sort of.
That should be a thing, too. Both sweep and fixed comb filter modes :love:
But this also sounds like fun :snax:

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.... :)
I want one. How many monies???????

Use the feedback fucker
I gotta be honest. I couldn't get it to work, but it may be because I haven't used a lopper in so long that I'm too stupid to set it up now. LOL

Didn't Schumann have a Flooper? Two versions actually, stompbox, and the uber-rare expression pedal version.

I think another batch is upcoming (at some point) and wrightdude said (to me) something about it being $150 and
available on Reverb.com.

So I would assume he has some Reverb account (?) and that's where they'd be available when they are available.
But wrightdude should probably confirm or deny that.
