- Okay, let's talk about this thing we're making.
We're making a looper, and we want you to see what that looks like. The tiny voyage that is making a pedal. And unfortunately, I'm your narrator. Because Joel lives in Minnesota. So.
0:14 - Series overview
1:44 - Intermission 1
2:04 - What Blooper Is

Let us know what you think.
We want to know.
We really want to know. Tell us.
Let's make a looper together.
See you next month.

I KNOW I'M TALKING OUT LOUD I HATE IT TOO
Life changing moment when you spoke out loud.
@@drawntothefire Life ruining more like
@@Knobs To create, we must first destroy.
Knobs No, it’s great!
WTF :0
It feels weirdly right that the first video Knobs makes on the pedal he's designing, is also the first time he talks on the channel. Its like some strange pedal prophecy is falling into place.
Also sweet diggity fuck Im so excited about this pedal yo
...so, the prophecy is real.
he's gaining sentience.
Okay, this is so cool.
thanks so much man! would love to send you a prototype once we get further along here.
Chase Bliss Audio oh fuck i just keep getting more excited for this
The Beard hath spoken.
And so it begins!
Soon I will be looping my own speaking voice. Overdubbing. So nobody can understand anything but there is so much information.
Knobs 😂 every crazy pedal kinda fits for a voicedemo then? Inaudible.
I wonder if I will be the first one to make a knobs voice remix song? I bet tons of people have already sampled and are ready to post
Magpie! Huge fan hahaha
No. Now eet ends
First the Condor, next the CB Magpie
guys what if he just hired a voice actor
haha! :) that would've been incredible
What if he hired Davie504 to talk over a video?
Would be a twist
I love your voice, don’t let people get you down about it. It’s calming, imo
You explained this thing to me at NAMM when I stopped by the Chase Bliss booth, and it blew my mind. Didn't even realize you were Knobs until I stopped back a few days later and another member of the CBA team pointed you out as Knobs. The Blooper seems incredible man, very innovative stuff. Can't wait to get my hands on one!
Glad to sort of meet you!
It's like seeing a cartoon character in real non-cartoon life
You start talking from the beginning of the video without any warning, you’re doing a thing with Chase Bliss (of ALL pedal makers) and it’s a thing that doesn’t exist in my pedalboard.
I think I need to lie down.
Just take it slow
love this :)
Chase Bliss Audio I love YOU, guys!
Haha. Chase Bliss is amazing. I love my pedal. I had a question about the pedal and he responded to my email right away and we chatted back and forth. Such an awesome guy.
what a beautifully shot video for an incredible musical tool. it's so obvious how much love and passion you have for all the pedals in your videos, but this one really does seem particularly special. can't wait to see more!
This was awesome. Your videos are usually chill, but this was chill on another vector. Love, will watch again. 10/10
This is the climax I've been waiting for since first subbing to your channel years ago
He speaks! Thanks for providing the best pedal demos on youtube mang. Blooper looks fantastic.
I think this is one of the most interesting and exciting collaborations. I am incredibly excited for this to come out. ❤️
Very much enjoying this.
Can't wait to see where this project goes.
I see myself broke and ultimately divorced once I get my hands on this and spend days alone orchestrating the end of time. Love it.
I hope you don't get divorced
Relax man. No need to get theatrical.
i’m speechless. it’s like you’ve made a pedal to do everything you’ve wanted to do with all these little loops in all your other videos and it’s clearly became quite obvious you were working with joel and your videos were getting sponsored over time. i have yet to own a chase bliss pedal because i simply can’t afford them but fuck this is worth saving up for for. well done man. keep going.
That's the idea!
it’s my favourite type of pedal (looper) from my favourite pedal channel (knobs) in my favourite colour (blue)! just perfect.
This is just delightful. The series as well as the product itself!
So much potential in that pedal! Keep up the good work, I'm sure it'll be ZE best creative looper out there :D
Really cool to see the development of a pedal. I’ve never seen a designer/company be this transparent about product development before and it’s so cool to see it
This is something I have been waiting for, nice
This looks incredible! Feels very knobs! Knobs in a box
Thanks for the glimpse into the painstaking development of this exciting new pedal, great sounds from Christine Bougie at the end.
Your videos make me feel comfortable, uncomfortable, inspired, jealous, and many more emotions all at once. ❤️
The sheer magnitude of potential that this pedal has, especially in it's form factor, is astounding.
This is crazy, wow and I made this comment before the MIDI sync part, this is even more crazy, you guys are killing it, dream pedal! Was waiting for a Boomerang III to show up but this is so much better
I think I'm just as excited for this video series as I am the actual pedal. This is an all around awesome idea.
For anyone who complains about prices of pedals like this, stick with your mass-produced Boss pedals. For anyone who can appreciate the designers who continue to push the envelope, this is such a revealing view of what it takes to make a great new pedal.
Absolutely brilliant definitely want this
I freaking love this channel! Keep on making amazing content!
Thank you!!
Very cool! Excited to see how it progresses!
Playing the loop in reverse would be a great option. Expandable storage via micro SD would be really nice too.
Great video as always, man.
It will have reverse. But we won't be able to do SD unfortunately :(
Knobs with a voice! Impossible!
Joking aside though, this is definitely really cool, it impresses me more than it should since I don't really have a deep knowledge of pedals and stuff, so these features of the pedal saving your stuff is amazing to me.
Love it!! So cool!
as a big fan of the ditto x2’s looping functionality, this may be the looper that finally pushes it off my board. really excited for the final product. ❤️
Love this channel lovely work guys
Oh boy this is going to be great. Glad that you are using your creativity to create a thing that others can have and use to create more things with their creativity.
Thanks Nemo!
Dude I freaking love you videos. Your editing is the best. The talking is something new lol but not too bad haha
I’ve watched two of your videos n this is my third...I might be addicted to your videos...
Loving the pedal. Seems like a very powerful tool. I'll be excited once I have one :)
This is a very exciting pedal! Really interesting take on a looper that I think will be highly useful for creative sounds.
putting smiles on faces is a fantastic job to have :)
I'm gonna be following this RELIGIOUSLY.
Congrats pal, you did it! All downhill from here.😁
Woah this is awesome. What an inspiring series!
Sounds great and by that I mean the pedal and the narration. And of course with the classic knobs plucky warped strings underneath working its magic.
Don’t be so hard on yourself!! This is a beautiful looking pedal, and I can’t wait to throw my money at it.
I love your videos they're a kind of meditation
The fact this will have cv sync is a big enough selling point for me. All the other features will just be gravy.
Can't wait until this is available!
I am convinced you are Gabe Susan Lewis, also this is the coolest pedal I, or anyone else, has ever seen. This literally makes any other looper obsolete to me.
can't wait for episode 2!
i already want a blooper! :)
So amped for this- thanks!
Looks super cool!!
pledging my blade to defend you talking in your videos, your voice is as relaxing to listen to as your playing tbh
So excited!!
I am equally excited about this series as I am about the pedal itself.
Awesome, looks like a tool that will bring real-time production and song building value to those of us who don't want anything to do with DAW's outside of an actual recording session. Just waiting to see if it's more practical to keep on the desk or on the floor. So sick!
I like it so far. Keep going!
I can't wait to see some bloopers of creating blooper
Love the Undo/Redo design... hold one side or the other. Like having a Command + Z and Command + Y (or shift Z, I'm no purist) but on your feet. Nice that these are separate. Bravo.
glad to hear you dig this Rob, thx for the post :)
shift+z just makes a big z
1. This is sick! I can’t wait to see the development.
2. You and Joel are way more creative than I will ever be, even if it’s just for the way you do loop in a textural instead of harmony/melody way.
3. Since seeing Bahamas about a year ago I’ve become obsessed with Christine’s playing and was mad excited to see her in this!
Yay Christine!
This is the most exciting pedal I have ever seen
Actually, this is amazing :O
I can tell by your video production that you're a talented designer. Surprised yet not surprised at all that your design talent also extends into electronic schematic and product design. I'm just happy to see this level of creativity in our modern world.
It does now ;) Fumbling my way through it
So. That's how you make your amazing loops. Nice.
Concentrated aimlessness. Yes.
Super excited for this! Currently using two loopers together, to do kind of similar things but nowhere near what blooper seems capable of. I’ll have the outlaw effects lasso looper as my initial looper, and to further refine or add other layers or effects or edit that main loop I’ll grab it w a dl4. Then I’ll have two different loops I can switch between and perform over top of. Works but have been daydreaming of different ways of doing more w loops. Blooper seems like something right up my alley. Can’t wait!!! Thank you for your lovely videos and also sharing this process of design and building of blooper.
You know exactly how to Bloop
Experimental looper! So, a few things. Being able to be in record while modifying the loop length/sample rate and then that being reflected in all its crazy glory on playback. The Timefactor/H9 does this swimmingly. As does the PCM 42 and it looks like the Rose. Can you make it do that? Can you change the speed in intervals when it’s in record?
Additionally, loopers get way easier to use when you’re not relying on 2 buttons to control multiple functions. A breakout box foot controller or at least the possibility to attach a midi foot controller with permanent mapping would be a game changer.
Lastly, the Hexe Revolver loopers have a neat function in that the speed and pitch controls while continuously variable have wide sweet spots so you can zing to a 5th and not overshoot. Hard to explain without using one. If you need a line of a Timefactor and or Hexe pedal hit me up. Oh yeah, the ease with which you can move the loop start point and end point on the Timefactor is a thing of beauty. Something to consider.
Brilliant
I love that you're like a good EA, doing pedals as a service but not charging for updates
First of all, holy crap! That looks really really amazing. If you are hearing suggestions, something I'd love to see is to being able to call the modifiers with an exp/midi controller. Like for example having a six switch controller, that would cancel the mod knobs and switches so you have access to all 6 of them with your foot, being each footswitch an on/off switch. Anyway, congrats for your work, the first prototype already looks bananas!
Oh yeah that should be totally possible
Thoughts:
• Multiple layers of undo and redo is wonderful
• Being able to record the modifiers themselves is unique and awesome
• Expandable storage would be great if possible
• Ability to record while in half/quarter speed and in reverse like you can with the H9 looper would be really perfect for this pedal. So you can record a loop, put it in reverse & half speed, record a loop on top of that, and then go back to forward at 100% speed so that the loop you just recorded is now reversed at 2x speed and the original is back to its normal self. That’s one of my favorite things to do out of all the H9’s features.
Thanks! Yep it will totally be able to do that last thing. I'm really into it too.
I have a feeling you’ll hit 200k sub in no time, by keep doing this
I love your company so much. Thought you were just doing reviews.
The blooper has so much potential and I'm sure you all will make it as good as any other pedal you got. I thought though of changing a big the design- adding another switch that will probably make everything easier.
PS send me the dark world, I'm broke af :)
"Blooper" may have proved a prescient epithet. I'm excited for this looper but you're making me think I should wait for the 2nd batch.
Subbed. You've sold me on this pedal.
Definitely potential. I very much dig your demo videos so take this the right way, I think the sparse guitar tone notes that normally work so well in your demos somewhat fight the prime objective here. Very hard to really hear the potential of the modifiers and cross type function (which seems like the nice lock and snapshot modes I’ve always wished were worked into a looper). But definite definite potential.
Holy calzone! Your a real boy now! I dig the vid.
This is going to be amazing. I was literally trying to have a friend build something that would give me the ability to edit my loop post recording. I have a Boss TC3 right now that I was built a position shifter for. The vast amount of loops that can be stored and the ease of recording them was why I chose the TC3. However the addition of those cheap drum loops is a completely unnecessary feature and the boss components I feel are so over-manufactured that it's impossible for it not to be a little cheap. I wanted those drum features removed, the amount of loop storage and ease to remain, and the ability to edit and bend a loop i've made post-performance. A few weeks later my favorite pedal company announces this.
The tape degradation deff needs to be a focus. Can't wait to see what else comes out of this. The usb changeable features are neat. Deff going in a great direction. No doubt in my mind that I will end up with this on my pedal board. Goodbye RC3!
Justin! Love to see stuff like this. It should do exactly what you want.
@@Knobs Great! consider a something that can change the pitch of the loop. Some real modern production stuff in a pedal would be so sweet to live tweek/"produce" a loop like that.
Another piece for my delay/looper fetish. I can't wait to see the final build.
I'll buy it once it is finished. I love the idea of audio transformation in my guitar loops and would love for this to be a thing.
I'm looking forward to more hair removal videos
Me too
I didnt know you were making a pedal! I can’t wait to get my hands on one once it’s released :)
Also love ur voice man
I’m very excited about this pedal probably the most excited about any pedal that is on the horizon. One big ask is to have a volume swell in and a volume swell out as a feature.
On it!
If you are taking requests by any chance. Please stick an Aux in or a 2nd line input for two instruments to be fed into this pedal. That would make this unbeatable ! That being said I am buying this either way.
This thing is really incredible, wonderfully innovative and brilliantly designed. I look forward to trying it out! I'm a bit worried I'll have trouble keeping track of the loop/all of the general features given the rotating functionality of each footswitch.
A wet/dry function would be nice, or just making it so the stability when set to 0 is a completely dry function as opposed to the warmth/warble. I know this isn't supposed to be a traditional looper by any means but it'd be nice if it could also replace the traditional looper on my board.
Hello Mr Knobs,
Firstly: you are great, I love your stuff.
Secondly: here is a list of things I would like a looper pedal to do:
1) Record a loop of what I'm playing, quickly and easily, and play it back accurately;
2) record a loop (Loop A), play that back, then record a second loop (Loop B) of the same length, which then plays back at the same time as Loop A;
3) record a loop (Loop A), then instantly record a second loop (Loop B) without having to wait for Loop A to make a pass before I can overdub;
4) record a loop (Loop A) of a certain length (say 300 ms), then record a second loop (Loop B) of a different length (say 200ms), and the difference between the two is made up with silence at the end of Loop B;
5) record a loop (Loop A) of a certain length (say 300 ms), then record a second loop (Loop B) of a different length (say 200ms), and Loop B loops again as soon it is finished, so that the start points of each loop are only in sync every 2 repeats of Loop A / 3 repeats of Loop B;
6) record a loop and store it to a specific slot in the pedal memory;
7) recall a stored loop by pressing a foot switch or using a control on the pedal;
8) recall a stored loop by sending a midi message (PCM or CC or something?) to the pedal;
9) store and recall knob settings using either a foot switch/on-unit control; or by sending a midi message;
10) record a loop (Loop A), play it back, then send a midi message to recall a stored loop (Loop B), but Loop A keeps playing, and you use the cross function to cross fade from Loop A into Loop B;
11) record a loop (Loop A), play it back, add a bunch of knob settings (Setting A), then send a midi message to recall a stored setting (Setting B), but Setting A is still active, and you use the cross function to cross fade from Setting A into Setting B;
12) record a loop (Loop A), play it back, add a bunch of knob settings (Setting A), then send a midi message to recall a stored loop (Loop B) with stored settings (Setting B), but Loop A is still playing and Setting A is still active, and you use the cross function to cross fade from Loop/Setting A into Loop / Setting B;
13) expression pedal input, assignable to any control and any group of controls [having 2 separate expression inputs would be great, so that 2 distinct knobs or groups of knobs can be controlled separately, but I imagine that could be tricky);
14) MIDI SYNC INPUT (so important [I do electronic stuff with computers]);
15) separate inputs for midi sync and expression, so I can do both;
16) a way to gradually change the tempo of the loop (speed up/slow down) in such a way that the pitch of the recorded loop is left unaffected;
17) a way to gradually change the tempo of the loop (speed up/slow down) in such a way that pitch of the recorded loop *is* affected (raised/lowered);
18) dual mono outputs, so that one loop (Loop A) can be sent to a specific output/amp/pedal group etc (Output A) and one loop (Loop B), playing at the same time, can be sent to a different output/amp etc (Output B) with a different sound structure or timbre. That way the two loops, which might complement each other melodically or harmonically but be different 'timbrally', won't clash or fight each other coming out of the one sound source. Perhaps, if 2 separate physical output jacks would be a problem, this could be achieved using a TRS-dual TS Y-cable?
---
Obviously, some of what I'm looking for is already implemented in Blooper (e.g. 1); some of what I'm looking for is conflicting (e.g. 16 & 17) (however; I'd be quite happy to change between these conflicting settings by using the dip switches); some of it is probably impossible (12?); some of it is probably impractical (18). I am aware of this.
I am also aware that implementing some of these features adds great complexity in terms of control, and makes the pedal more like a DAW than a pedal, and some people would not like that complexity. (That said, I am totally ok with this, as I would like to stop using my DAW to loop and start doing my looping on my pedal board).
Also, some other people probably suggested all of these things already.
These are reasons I thought of for not coming up with ideas, and then of not sharing them once I had come up with some. However, I'm telling you these things anyway because you said you wanted to know my thoughts.
Thank you for reading my thoughts.
I was about to blow my cash on another looper, but Blooper definitely seems like a looper worth waiting for. Stereo recording/layback could be very cool for stereo instruments through.
omg that loop at :09 is insane
Can’t wait for this to be finished
Once my heart attack ceases from HEARING A HUMAN (A.I.?) VOICE I enjoy the rest of the video immensely ;)
Great ideas and features! But I would like it as a bigger, wider unit - I think the more features and stuff you have instantly available in one go - the better.
This is the first time I've ever wanted a looper, said the tape delay enthusiast.
Such a dope pedal
Wow! This is exactly what I need after a hard day's work, no kidding. Set up a nice spacey loop go make some food, groom the animals, take a leak, and then add another spice to the groove.
Ingenious, looking forward to it.
If you have prototypes you don't want send me a message. Hah, no espionage here, just loving that complete stuff you do or is it compleat, you know.
Thanks and I can't wait!!!
Your friend and confidant,
Mademoiselle Kitty
Loop / Groom the animals / Loop / Groom the animals / Loop
It's like any other knobs video but with director's commentary now
Thank you for the laugh
End of an era as we venture to a new world. A world in which we have heard you. Forward the future
Onward
Not gonna lie my heart fluttered thinking this would be a blooper reel of previous knobs videos
Thanks Mr. Knobs. Your talking is just fine. I'm a self conscious person as well...
love this!! a reverse mode would be a very cool function, in addition to all the fun stuff this does
Oh it will reverse alright
