I'm too sexy for stilettos.

Got my Blooper today and I am so far feeling a lot of you. I get that we live in an era of trying to cram a lot into a small enclosure to save pedalboard real estate but I appreciate a larger enclosure with good spacing as well. I do like the dip switches mostly because they are options you might not need or use but are there and tucked out of the way. My immediate out of the box impression was that within 5 minutes I had to pull out the manual. In other words none of it seemed straight forward and/or obvious to me and I have played with tons of loopers, this is a negative to me. Reading the manual was helpful for some basic operation but it definitely isn't all that informative beyond the very basic operation of the pedal. To Chase Bliss Audio and Joel's the credit the manual points this out and does include a link to a youtube channel that will include further tutorials and instruction. I have found myself in this era of glitch pedals that has been both exciting and very innovative to ultimately lead me back to simpler pedals that I know how to use in conjunction with other simpler pedals to craft the sounds I want. There's a lot packed in this pedal, I will admit I have barely scratched the surface so far. I honestly have had it a day and only spent about an hour with it so far. But much like their MOOD pedal as cool and capable of so many things, my problem in the end will be never fully utilizing it or coming close. Still if I can find interesting things that are useful that I can't do with any other pedal I will likely just decide on one or two uses for it and have it on my board for that. The way I feel about this pedal so far is very similar to count to 5 and MOOD, every time I turn it on I am likely to find something new. All these pedals are creative in that way. So far the delay setting on the Blooper has been a lot of fun, endless washing repeats that cascade and continue indefinitely. So far knob turning hasn't really been all that interesting but again I can imagine I've even begun to figure out how to use this pedal yet. I do hope some more interesting modifiers become available and I think the prospect of that and being able to update those parameters on the pedal has some cool potential.

Mine just arrived today. I'm super excited to experiment, but can see that turning the modifiers on with those little buttons on the bottom of the pedal might be problematic. Definitely lends itself more to a "hands on" looper in that capacity than simply something foot controlled.

See that's what kept me from it. I did love the Mood though and regret selling it but I was only use the Drolo side, so I might as well buy a Stammen. LOL. Bigger footprint is a must for me as well. I hate that everyone is so obsessed with having small shit on their board. It's weird and kind of stupid to me. Do people have tiny baby feet or something? This seems a lot like the 856, which was hard as hell for me to wrap my head around. It's cool as shit but I don't think I'll ever understand how to use it right. LOL. IMO, what would be cool is to have a digital interface with it or bluetooth it to a larger format like a phone/iPad. As much as I hate those types of pedals, it does help when you've got big dumb hands and big dumb feet. LOL

Drolo Stammen is a great pedal, one of my favorite pedals in fact! MOOD is cool and kind of wish I had kept mine too, however I was more down with the other side, I like the reverbs and the slip mode. Now that I have had some more time with Blooper I am finding I like some of what it does, the sampler mode is a lot of fun. The modifiers I don't find all that musically useful for what I want to do but hey maybe they will get more options for other modifiers at some point. I do find this pedal in some ways to be similar to what the count to 5 is at this point, but with some extended looping time and a few other capabilities. I definitely wish it were in a bigger footprint though. I feel like if this had the OBNE side of MOOD for modifiers that would be really fun. This pedal so far has me questioning what I actually want from a looper and the answer seems to be I am not sure, LOL!

I'm looking forward to using Mood and Blooper together. I feel like they could be a really great combo. I am going to play around with running Mood after Blooper. I'm totally in love with the stability function of the blooper, as well as the filter modifier, as you can really dial in some great degraded, warbled tape loop sounds. Then run that into mood and stretch it, add some sweet granular reverb...I wish I wasn't at work right now.

MOOD and Blooper will be a great combo no doubt. I'll have to play around with stability and filter more perhaps, so far those have been the most underwhelming of the features for me.

Filter is not a super exciting modifier, but useful and sounds great to dial in some Lofi tones.

Derp.

He bought a house but can't afford to move? What a predicament! Someone help this poor idiot transport his belongings to whatever gated community he's moving into PLEASE!

I'd love to have a blooper in one of those huge JamMan enclosures with 8 switches.

What a fucking dumbass. Did he also buy a house when he sold the Cooper/Chase Bliss combo? If he just said “I’m flipping this to make bank off some dipshit that can’t wait”, I’d respect him a tad bit for the honesty. People are so gross and dishonest.

Fuck that guy.

I kind of wish I hadn't posted that. I did so in a moment of frustration, as it's always so irksome to see these things pop up on reverb days after they've sold at some grossly inflated price. However, the purpose of this thread was not to bitch about flippers, rather to discuss Blooper and all the blooping fun to be had therein. I am working on focusing on the positive rather than the negative, should have accepted the inevitability of flipping and just left it alone. Sorry for bringing negativity into the thread.

It's OK. I think that negative has already bore the fruit of something more positive.

Gold.

BTW-Check your Blooper firmware. Joel posted that some (most before serial #400) got the proto firmware. He sent out a blog post to the Kickstarter page with instructions on how to update. The PC version is a slight PITA but worth it.
