I heard about the paralooper clean blend with low pass on the clean & hi pass filters on the loop.. so I wanted to hear from TB members if there are experiences with this unit?

I know there is a low pass filter on the clean but I don't remember there being a high pass on the wet.

P.S. I can't get to http://www.moosapotamus.com/ any more.

EDIT: I see it is now moosapotamus.net.

Just paid up for one and it should be here in about three weeks. By then I'm sure I will have forgot why I ordered but it will be a nice surprise.

Is Charlie selling the pedals now? I didn't know that. I would have recommended the paralooper to more people.

I contacted him using the email address on his site to see how much one would be, he quoted me a price, and I sent him payment so I hope he is selling at least one pedal.

Thanks for the kind words, y'all.

I haven't had a chance to get a new page put up on my web site for the new ParaLooper, yet. But, soon enough... For now, here it is...



And yes... I am selling these, so drop me a PM if interested.
  • HP filter on the effects loop and LP filter on the clean signal path.
  • The HP and LP knobs adjust the cutoff freq for each filter independently.
  • The HP and LP toggles on the sides enable/disable each filter independently.
  • The wet/dry control adjusts the blend between the clean signal and the effects loop.
  • The output knob adjusts the overal output volume and will provide a bit of a boost if desired.
  • Signal will pass through the effects loop when nothing is connected to the Send and Return jacks, giving you parallel HP and LP filters for tone shaping.
  • The LED randomly changes color whenever it feels like it.
Also, I'm working on modding the HP filter implementation to make it switchable between either pre-effects loop or post-effects loop. This will (hopefully) be done by replacing the two position HP switch with a three position toggle (center off). Up will be pre-effects, down will be post-effects, and center will disable the HP filter. If it works out, I'll offer to mod the few of these that I have already made for some folks for free.

Sorry to mine the thread out...

I don't wanna sound like I'm harassing Charlie, but I sent him a PM and an email; no news.

Is he not selling the ParaLooper anymore?
I just would be thankfull for any clue on if I can keep on hoping, or not...

I met another frenchie who received a ParaLooper last year, so I cannot assume a simple contempt on frenchies.

I emailed him once and he basically told me it's easy, so I should build it myself.
