- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 ธ.ค. 2019
- It's finally here! The blooper. Brain child of Knobs and Chase Bliss Audio. Looping fun for all...well so long as you backed the kickstarter. More production happening in the future of course! Anyway, if you want to see the basics of what this pedal can do, you have come to the right place! I'll be going through all the functions so you can get a glimpse of what it's like to bloop. I've spent a few hours playing with it and reading the manual. Now we'll go through most everything. Ramping will be covered in a future episode just like I plan to do with the Mood.

I've been watching all the knobs videos and honestly, this gives me a much better idea of what this thing can do
Logan Ressler - Agreed. I love knobs, but most demos end up sounding like a music box falling down stairs... I wanna know what it sounds like when more... pedestrian guitar is played through it. Haha
Agreed ,I like knob’s other videos too dont get me wrong but for this pedal that has so much it helps a ton to hear the clean original well played signal before you process it with all th features .
I am the most pedestrian guitarist there is. haha!
Knobs and Chase Bliss’s overview is pretty superficial
Hopefully - just got the blooper, turned on and, bang!, disaster! This one is going to be one tough cookie - hope this tutorial does the trick.
Thank you for making this video!
No problem! Hope it was helpful!
I learned a lot, thanks for this demonstration. I'm really excited to jump into all the features of this incredible sound tool.
Dude, so helpful! Thank you! Definitely going to watch all your videos as I just got a mood and blooper and my preconceived notions of what these devices could do are repeatedlly blown away.
Cheers!
Thanks!
I've just bought a Blooper and you've just saved me from hours of reading the manual. Thank you good sir!
I'm doing my part
Missed the kickstarter but Im doing a lot of homework on this thing to make sure I know how to use it when I get it. Appreciate the tutorials and would love to see more. Happy looping!
just bought it and you saved me. So well explained.
Thank you, there’s not a lot of videos like this on TH-cam going into depth about this pedal
🙏
great demo of an amazing pedal. Very clear and well presented. kudos!
Geoff Cline thanks!
thanks for this perfect tutorial, very helpful! got mine today, such a wonderful little machine. going for part 2 now..:)
This is a very helpful demo in a "real world" context, thanks! My Blooper is arriving this afternoon & this helps make diving in easier. Looks like a very deep design!
I'm glad the video was helpful! Enjoy your blooper!
Thanks for the great demo, very helpful!
Glad I could help!
Excellent tutorial.
Super useful! I read all the manual and still didn't get much of the functions, but thanks to you now I can rock this thing.
Glad I could help!
Very helpful! Well done!
Greta tutorial to get us competent.
I used Blooper for first time last night, read manual today and then watched your vid in tandem with manual.
Daniel Son is ready to wax on.
Can't wait to get one. Missed the kickstarter so it'll be a while. Thanks for the intro to blooping!
Thanks! You're gonna love it when you can get one. :)
I hope you know it’s up for pre order now!!! Shipping in may
@@csharp57 preordered yesterday. March for blooper and may for the preamp!
Amazing video! Making me want this pedal so bad
Appreciate the video. Great job.
Thank you!
Excellent demo - thanks so much! I was a little lost on the load/save function, but you explained that very well. Cheers!
Thanks! Glad it was helpful!
Thank you!!!
This is really helping my ‘tired after work and almost unable to focus on and absorb the printed manual’ self. Haha.
Perfect!
This is so excellent. Thank you. Dip switch part 2 would be amazing.
It has been made, go check it out if you haven't already!
this helped a lot. Thank you
No problem. Glad I could help. :)
Thank you for this video! I'm looking forward to add this to my pedalboard I've spent a lot of care designing. Looking forward to create some happy mistakes! 😊
Glad the video was helpful! Happy mistakes are the best part of making music and sounds. Have fun!
So useful!
Thanks!
Definitely helpful, hoping for more tutorials, this thing isn't easy to figure out!
the 21:30 part about saving definitely helped. i am a fool but you have shown me the way
So glad I could help!
The ability for this pedal to randomly play all eight layers of recorded material is mind-blowing in great for Ambient players
Agreed!
Great demo! Just got mine on my board and I’m looking forward to getting familiar with it!
P.S. the toilet paper on top of the guitar case was foreshadowing 😆

WITH L A Y E R S
thanks this was really helpful... i would like to see a vid on the dipswitches and if its possible to the cv would work with modular gear. im still on the fence with this one. have nothing but love and respect for the whole project but unsure if its what i need rn. new sub btw, watch that buzz in the future please ;) thanks for the demo dude!
Glad you liked it! Dip switch video was made, and I wish I had a way to demo with CV but I don't think I do currently. :(
when's the next episode?
cus like...this one was so amazing!!
Twin Trees Creative trying to plan it and some other videos. It’ll be here as soon as possible. 🙂
i love these types of looper so much but it gives me so much anxiety haha! i get really bad option paralysis with these types of thing, and always end up just using the regular stuff, but it sounds so freaking cool! especially the tape style wobble.
Utaï i felt the same way I was watching the early videos . I was like you are adding so much options to this that at the end its so difficult to play live and a headache in studio but i think it just needed to be well explained.
Agreed. At first I thought it was too much, then it started to make sense. I got it in my hands and it's stupid easy to use and the options are nice to have because it really stimulates creativity.
Lofi loop junky is probably a good bet for you.
It's an intriguing pedal but 500 bucks, jeeeeze.....Great instructional video, thank you.
Thank you, I always think it's easier to see an on hand presentation. I'm a little confused about saving loops. It looks like you erased one but then you recovered it. Is there a way to permanently delete. I know you're probably going to do more videos on blooper. I would like to know more about midi connections. Thanks again.
I'll probably go over the saving/loading/deleting of loops in a future video just to reiterate how it's done. I haven't found how to permanently delete a loop yet but I'm trying to figure it out. I also want to know more about midi connections! :) I'm looking into some various midi pedals and other stuff to get better equipped for doing some videos on midi with CBA pedals. That's a world I'm really itching to get into more.
Cool video! Would be cool to see a video on the dip switches. Thanks!
I did make one! You should check it out!
kevwyxin excellent! Thanks! Best pedal video I’ve seen, really helpful. Mine’s coming at the end of the month, can’t wait , will be rewatching a lot then!
Cool pedal, thanks for the vid but man that buzz - you gotta take care of that buzz it’s vicious!
Yup. Pretty sure it has been fixed since this video. Had to redo all my outlets in my studio after finding out nothing was grounded. 🤦♂️ Gotta love house flippers! 😑
@@kevwyxin awesome! Yep, man it’s wild dealing with a power buzz, isolating it can be a pain but man o man is it worth it!
Maybe it’s just me but I can’t handle it
Thanks for the vid, I’m loving this pedal more because of it!
Nice demo. It is been a great help. Question, my stability knob adds so much noise that it becomes useless.. yours sounds really great? Do I have a defective unit ot is it a question of upgrade firmware?
If you haven't updated the firmware I would encourage you to do that. Before the update I noticed some weirdness with the stability knob and it seems to be a lot more...*ahem*...stable after the firmware update. The effect does get pretty intense above noon but it can still sound nice depending on what you're going for. :)
"There's a lot of caveats to...everything." Ya think? :)
Can you record one layer with a modifier then other layers without modifiers?
Yes. There is a lot of flexibility, but it could also get messy. As far as I know, you could record a loop, add your modifier, turn off said modifier, record an overdub, and you would have 3 layers. Raw, modified (which is all you hear from the raw now), overdub (unmodified). Then you could add a modifier to that, but it would apply that modifier to all layers...not just the last overdub. That's why I say it *could* get messy...it could also get super creative and cool. ;)
Around 14:00 is that a look Mexico riff?
Hi, thank you so much for the hard work. Could you tell me where this noise comes from ? Is it the guitar or the pedal? CBA are awesome! I do collect their stuff, however some of their pedals do have some ground hum ... thank you
If I didn't have the Stability knob turned up, then it probably came from my guitar. The single coils create some low level noise based on my lighting and setup and everything.
Hi, great explanation. I can seem to figure out what the toggle-switch between the two foot-switches is for? Am I being dumb?
ascsoms it’s for navigating and then saving/loading the loop banks.
@@kevwyxin ah ha...I'm new to CBA pedals and it wasn't super clear in the manual. Thanks for the reply. I'll investigate this further.
ascsoms towards the end of this video I explain how loading and saving a saved loop work. It sounds complicated but once you do it it’ll make sense. :)
T-H-A-N-K-S!
Are there any other looper pedals on the market that have that layers function? Being able to deconstruct and hear the individual overdubs by themselves?
Not that I'm aware of, however I have not done any comprehensive research into all looper options currently available. :)
nothing exists that let you gently add and remove layers with a knob sweep. other pedals have "tracks". rc505 has 5 stereo tracks that work sort of like this. the deluge has fabulous loop function too. this is the size of a phase 90. those other things are gigantic. theyre both amazing too.
Excellent! I am sure there's a procedure for clearing one of the 16 save slots, right? Also can I recall one of the 16 via a QConnect?
Olav Christensen I’m not sure. I haven’t tried clearing one yet. You could probably just overwrite a bank with nothing. As in delete the active loop and then save “nothing” in that bank. Also there is midi capabilities so yes I believe you can but I don’t know the exact CC or PC your midi controller would need to send. There is a midi manual included with the blooper though so that should tell you. :)
kevwyxin Awesome! Now all I need is the blooper! 🤜🏻💥🤛🏻
Is it possible to have an external foot controller and midi clock at the same time ?
I’m not sure…I wanna say I’ve heard people from Chase Bliss say it’s not possible, but I’m not sure. I haven’t tried it myself.
My only question is where did you get the shirt, that is so awesome!
It was a part of the Kickstarter tier I got for the launch of the pedal. :)
Nice, its amazing. I would wear it every day!...Just got my blooper, wow cool as fuck.
My modifier 5 is not the same as yours. It is some sort of a loop trimmer. I can manipulate how much of the loop is played. I actually think on mine that 3 on mine is your 5 and my 5 is your 3. Also when I do one shot layer recording mine seems to cut my loop in half when overdubbing modifiers
When you say 'one shot' are you referring to the sample mode? I was just playing with that mode a little more last night, but still have more to learn. That's also curious about the modifiers. I wonder if that is an unintentional mistake. You should bring it up on r/blooper
kevwyxin turns out I have a pre production firmware loaded on my blooper after reaching out to chase bliss. They sent out an email this morning explaining that around 100 of us got ours with old firmware. When I was saying one shot record I meant the function that will only record for the length of the loop
prnts I just read that email before seeing this comment. :) As for the one shot recording I haven’t noticed that issue. I’ll play around with it but maybe it’s another bug from pre-production firmware? 🤷♂️ I’m curious if it does the same thing after your firmware update.
Can you have infinite layers? For example, keep it playing from the first recorded layer to the last one, where you played around with the mods. Is there a way to hear them all simultaneously? Because for what I understood, if you turn the layers knob clockwise, it gets rid of the first layer, right?
You can have up to 8 layers. Each layer stacks on top of the last, so when you record layer 2 after layer 1, you will hear layers 1 & 2. When you record a 3rd layer you'll now hear 1, 2, & 3...and so on until you hit layer 8, then layer 8 just continues to compound whatever new stuff you record. Layers knob fully clockwise is hearing all of the layers stacked together. Turning it counter clockwise will remove the last layer. So if you have 8 layers, it will first remove layer 8, then 7, then 6, etc.
@@kevwyxin Thanks! I don't know what I was doing wrong, maybe I accidentally moved some knob or switch or I was pressing it the wrong way. I wasn't being able to overdub as with any other looper, so I was feeling really confused. And even though I know blooper is not meant to be like any other looper used only for dubbing, I wanted to understand the basics first. But I wasn't getting anywhere and didn't know why. But thanks to your video and your response, I'm getting a better grasp of it all. Thanks so much!
Glad I could help! 🙂
I think your videos are the best for instructional purposes. If you keep it up I think you'll increase the number of subscribers. Please don't get fancy. These low budget productions are all we need. I'd love it if you did a similar video on the Thermae. It's a great pedal but it's a bitch to use for those of us who don't have ton's of time.
Thanks! I'd love to get a Thermae and do a video on it. Too bad I'm pretty tapped out on funds for gear. :( One day maybe!
great job! how many layers per loop?
I'm not 100% sure as I haven't tested it. But I think Knobs said something like 8 layers...? I'll test it and find out!
@@kevwyxin 8 layers, 16 loops, all those features...cant wait for mine to arrive ♥️
Mauricio Adachi thanks!! I’m still going to test it because I have a fun idea for testing it. Plus it’s an excuse to bloop. 😉😅
Please always do 2 camera angles. I didn’t realize that’s what was missing!
I felt the same way after editing this...might have to re-record some other videos to bring them up to date with changes.
were I can buy the t-shirt?
The blooper t-shirt? I believe that was only for the people who backed the Kickstarter
watching this 2 years later and I am noticing a cat scratching in a litterbox around the 3:20 mark.
2:50 sorry
again at 3:16
Haha! Incredible. You have some sharp ears. xD
@@kevwyxin enjoyed the overview by the way. Cats are the best distractions.
You might have a little earth loop, I usually ground only one device in the chain.
It also might be the guitar that is a little noisy ;)
Oh it was for sure a ground loop. Found out last year that none of my outlets in the basement/studio were grounded when our house was flipped. 🤦♂️ Had it fixed though! 👍
where'd you get your cardie from?
I'm fairly certain I got it from Target.
@@kevwyxin splendid
Most
What is the max loop time?
30 seconds!
@@kevwyxin Wow! That’s a long loop! Thanks!!
The manual is not clear on how to save a loop
prnts I realize now that you say this I don’t demonstrate how to save the loop. In part 2 I’ll show how to save a loop in addition to the dip switches. Thanks! In the meantime you save it by picking your bank and then pressing and holding the record footswitch. So same method I used to load a saved loop just press and hold the other footswitch. 🙂
kevwyxin no you did show how well you explained it. I’m pretty sure I won’t have any issues saving after watching your part on loading
