I have an MXR 5150 up in the classifieds, but I'm thinking of taking down the ad (for the second time) and picking up a Bloop to use with it...hrm. 5150 overdrive with low passed clean blend could be a pretty sweet combo.

That is actually one of the pedals I was hoping to try with the Loop Blender.

Mind sharing the frequency the clean signal is low passed at?

Good question.

The roll of starts around 600 Hz and I believe it's at 6dB around 1000 Hz then the roll off gets more steep.

I'm thinking maybe I should add a loop blend FAQ to the site.

@father of fires thanks for the thorough explanation a few pages back. Love the ideas and discoveries that you guys are having with this “simple” utility pedal!

I have two ideas for this pedal... first is a more descriptive name/acronym that will help it stand out from the “normal” blend pedals, which will help with the “why is this special and $3 more?” crowd. My thought was Something like LPB1 (Low Pass Bloop) or something in the same vein as the MBD1 that it’s based on. Maybe even label the knob as “Clean” and swap the turn polarity to be more like the MBD?

Second idea is to add a switch for a different LPF on the clean, one that lets more lows pass through (less dubby). I’m thinking this would open up even more flexibility, tonal possibilities and maybe even open up the guitar market?

These are good ideas except LPB is the name of the first ever EHX pedal but I like where you're coming from.

I like boring descriptive names. But I agree maybe the knob could have some actual labeling.

You never know if somethings gonna sell so you don't know how much time to invest.

As for a mod for the low pass. I've definitely considered it but I'm always careful about chasing every available feature.

I aim for niche problems and this is a very specific problem so I only need .0001 bassists out of a million bassists to share the same gripe as me to make it a successful product.

If I chase the kitchen sink I'll never launch cause I'd hate to have missed a feature and lose a potential customer.

Now if 90% if my customers request a feature then I'll certainly pay attention.

Thanks!

So I was spending some time to try and get a demo done today and it took me while to get my interface to talk to audacity. Then I had issues uploading in stereo. Then I had to stop and do yard work. Gonna try and get something up here in a few.

I’m listening to that demo above in my car and that’s where you can really hear what the bloop is doing. After listening to that demo a few more times, my ears hear it. It’s like the bloop tubifys your signal. Makes it sound all warm and full. It’s so nice.

So nothing in the loop for the first few times right?
