Yep, the pds8000 was on my radar for some time. The Dod is a smaller footprint alternative though.chromandre wrote:

IIRC, it does! I remember even the pds1002 does this, its funny how just sounds like an audible sound edit both on and offChristophe wrote:Yep, the pds8000 was on my radar for some time. The Dod is a smaller footprint alternative though.chromandre wrote:

But I dont think the pds is always listening, or is it? (here we go again, ha ha!)
Oh ok, good to know!chromandre wrote: IIRC, it does! I remember even the pds1002 does this, its funny how just sounds like an audible sound edit both on and off
only reverses the direction of the recorded loop... There's no reverse delay per se on the 16s.chromandre wrote: I had another question actually the reverse on EHX16 second... if you leave it recording does it really do reverse delay or can you only reverse the direction of the recorded loop?
interesting, I wish there were some way to put this feature in the dfx94Christophe wrote:

(the bonus sounds are rather to be found with the mod section, nice chorus, gorgeous vibrato, and many shades of that...)
Well of course, none of the pedals discussed here would come close to a Mechanical Sun...cloudscapes wrote:pds8000
No. But you can trick it by setting the Blooper to act like a delay with a long delay time, and turn the volume down. Then forget about it and turn the volume back up if what you're playing inspires you a loop...qersty wrote: blooper can do lways listening?
Oh I think there's so much going on with that pedal that each player will find his own way to get the most of it! For me, so far, yeah, normal looper + modifiers is my main use. The delay side of it is a big plus, like having a delay pedal included in the package.qersty wrote:I see, you gotta use it like a normal looper to get the most then? Ive seen some demos and the destructive effects on it seems really cool
I've just tweaked the dfx's internal trimpot for delay time. Now it's 6.5 seconds... getting closer to the PDS! It really opens up the game...chromandre wrote:

youd need a MIDI controller but instead stopping/bypassing I bet you could just send a MIDI cc to change volumeChristophe wrote:No. But you can trick it by setting the Blooper to act like a delay with a long delay time, and turn the volume down.

wow! yea thats an entire world of extra time. I'll try the sameChristophe wrote:I've just tweaked the dfx's internal trimpot for delay time. Now it's 6.5 seconds... getting closer to the PDS! It really opens up the game...chromandre wrote:

ps: I've given up on trying to embed a video. Youtube button doesn't work, the url minus the "s" trick doesn't work either, I've just tried all the links and tricks available...
