an f'ed up pedal.

Snoogans775	Date: April 29, 2009 @ 2:04 AM I can\'t remember the name of it. but I\'m looking for a pedal I heard of years ago. it is a modulation of other guitar pedals. you plug the output and input of a guitar pedal into it, then you plug your guitar into it. it has two knobs which determine how strong the feedback loop is of the guitar pedal. then it spits the heavily reiterated signal out. does anybody know what I\'m talking about, it\'s virtually a guitar pedal that makes a feeback loop out of another pedal.

GeneHilbert	Date: April 29, 2009 @ 8:40 AM Don't know that one.
zedsalt	Date: April 29, 2009 @ 10:09 AM If I remember correctly, and if we're thinking of the same pedal, I think it is/was made by a gent here in Happy Hoosierland who is curently marketing a pedal which "starves" pedals of a portion of their battery power... I'll go on a little hunt later.
zedsalt	Date: April 29, 2009 @ 10:40 AM The Audible Disease Rupture and a few Devi Ever pedals (the Effector 13, Loop Matirx T4, and The Truly Beautiful Disaster) all set up feedback loops, but I'm not sure if they're internal or ex. There's a lot of online chat among folks who have made their own loopers and/or altered their favorite pedals to loop, much of it discussion about what effects work best intentionally fed back this way. The concensus seems to be that the cheesiest, trashiest pedals work the best for this.

Snoogans775	Date: May 14, 2009 @ 1:41 AM I think the TBD sounds very familiar, but the one I'm looking for was a completely black box. maybe they changed their design.
zedsalt	Date: May 14, 2009 @ 9:24 AM "The Truly Beautiful Disaster" is the sort of name that sticks with one, isn't it? That's one thing I like about Way Huge and Lovetone's pedal names: none of this just a few numbers or letters stuff. If a pedal just drips with character, so should its name, I say. If you're pretty handy, it sounds like this sort of pedal wouldn't be at all hard to make. The folks at BuildYourOwnClone are always looking for new pedal ideas; maybe you could convince them to produce a REALLY easily-assembled kit...

CaptainSalam...	Date: May 16, 2009 @ 5:15 AM I used to hook a boss gt-3 into itself, it was a total accident, because I was plugged into a fx loop on an amp, and one of the jacks was loose, so it completed the circuit. all of a sudden this very harmonic sequence of notes was playing with a nice steady pulsing rhythm, and I couldn't get it to stop! it was so great. that might be an interesting build.
zedsalt	Date: May 16, 2009 @ 9:57 AM That's one thing that came up in the discussions I read about homemade looper pedals: more than one DIYer suggested using a box that gave the components plenty of breathing room to prevent accidental crosstalk, and fight the temptation to put the one pot and just a few switches and jacks into a really small package.
