Dirt pedals with Feedback Loop?

[Bassenstien]

What all Dist. and Fuzz pedals have a feedback loop?
I know of the Catalinbread Teaser Stallion and some of the Devi Ever pedals like the Truly Beautiful Disaster and Spectacular Aenima. Wondering what the others are?

i don't have any pedal suggestions, but I will throw in that feedback loop boxes are really simple to make and take very little time and minimal soldering skills, so technically you could make one pretty easily if you are interested

Actually the Catalinbread Teaser Stallion doesn't have a traditional feedback loop in it....by this I mean you cannot put other effects in it....more of a oscillating fuzz over a feedback loop.


The only ones I know of that have a dirt/feedback loop combo are the Devi/Effector 13 pedals.

But Devi's feedback loops somehow just work/sound better and crazier than other people who make them out there (seriously same pedals, same setup, produce way more wild tones with my Devi/Effector 13 loops over the Barge, DBA, and Tonefactor ones I have played with)

Devi's Rocket Fuzz w/ oscillation is noisy as *%@#. Imagine a fuzz face that turns into a snake eating a gorilla.

This might be an option for me. I am kinda likin the whole photo eye in the Devi Ever pedals. Plus I like the TBD Fuzz for the occilation feature. I am not using it as my main fuzz channel so really I could go with just a feedback loop. I dunno now im thinkin to hard

Oh I misunderstood the Stallion then. I thought it had an external feeback loop. Guess that crosses it off my list.
What devi/effector 13 loops have you used?

Interesting. I've just been looking at the Barge VFB-X, may have to reconsider.

Yeah they call it a feedback loop on their site, but it most definitely is not in the way that Devi make them.

I've owned 2 versions of the TBD...the newest version (well newest version she made before Ooh La La) which has a louder fuzz, the light for the photo eye, knobs that functioned the correct way (older/original TBD's knobs were reversed).

This was totally an awesome pedal....the fuzz channel was by no means an all the time use thing, but it was fun for it's purpose.

I currently own a super early Beautiful Disaster (before the truly) it has no photo eye...or LEDs actually. Sounds just like I remember my original TBD sounded but a quieter fuzz circuit.

The Spectacular Aniema seems like it might have a more useful all the time fuzz sound, but I never got around to owning one of those...she actually made a whole bunch of versions of her fuzz boxes with the "spectacular" addition (feedback loop/photo eye) they are no longer available but you might be able to catch a used one every now and then.

Note my opinions on feedback loops are completely subjective, In my experience the Devi made loops are just crazier and more varied....other companies have their charms as well...my tone factor mobius was a very musical sounding feedback loop....you could actually use some of the sounds it made in songs...The Devi's were more akin to destroying the world and making sounds you had no idea were possible out of a pedal (IE most of Bongripper's Heroin album) really depends on what you are looking for.

Currently I don't even use a feedback loop on my bass board I run 5 Moogerfoogers that can make such weird sounds without one, but you can guarantee that my gu*tarists board would never be without one again.

Personally Devi's pedals just do it for me....might not for you.

Well I currently have been offered a pretty good deal on one of the newer (before Ooh La La) like the one you mention. I think I will go ahead and jump on it. Like I said it won't be my main fuzz but I think it will be cool to have when I want to space out.

I liked the dual feature of the Barge but the Eye of God's photo eye is winning me over.

I'm going to have a go at building this & then try adding a photo eye & features from the Barge.

What about the 3xFx Fatman?

Nad just had one up for grabs on the classifieds. Pretty sweet octave fuzz w/ oscillating photo eye!!!

Thats another self-oscillating one I think, no loop for other pedals. The fabric finish looks beautiful though.

[rratajski]

It is definitely self-osc.
I should've clarified that this was a suggestion for Jeff. My bad haha.

That fabric is hella sweet. I like that you can get whatever color you want if 3xFx builds it for you!!! Too bad it's a large pedal...

Just to update: I ended up buying the Devi Ever/Effector 13 Truly Beautiful Disaster. I love it I am currently using it with my Fuzzrocious Octavus and an old Small Stone in the feedback loop. This thing gets pretty crazy. I love it but not as my main signal so Im using it on my stereo side. Now all I gas for in the effects dept is a delay.
