Sign in to disble this ad
I've been reading past threads about the Bass Paralooper and I'm thinking about trying to build one (after I finish building my 1/2 Watt Noisy Cricket amp).
Has anyone else done this yet? How did it go? How hard was it?
Any chance that anyone has a photo of the populated perf board or pcb?
How about a list of the parts that I'd need to order from small bear? I can obviously figure this out myself, but if anyone already has one put together it would be great.
Thanks in advance!

It was pretty simple, and worked really well once finished. I sold it as I found I didn't have much use for it (at the time).
If you don't mind working with vero board, here's a layout from diystompboxes.com: http://www.aronnelson.com/gallery/ma...ooper.jpg.html
Hope that helps,

I'm just getting started, so we'll see how it goes with the vero board. Def. have to do a little more research before working with it.

it works well and does what it is supposed to do.
in the end, i practically never use it, but thatīs because iīve built over 100 fx by now and always tailor my drives or distortions to my taste, and include the clean blend right into a pedal when i find it necessary.
cheers,
