Ambient Guitar: Scattered Fragments of Days (Chase Bliss Blooper, Godin Multiac Nylon ACS, Strymon) / Эмбиент, гитарный эмбиент
/ Эмбиент, гитарный эмбиент
I’m in love with my Chase Bliss Audio BLOOPER again.
It is an incredible ambient looping tool that can be used as a super advanced Frippertronics.
When we think about Frippertronics we usually mean a looping device with feedback and tonal degradation control that mimics original tape-to-tape recording.
However the BLOOPER’s DIP SWITCHES give us some additional mind-blowing options for random alteration of selected parameters.
My favorite settings for now are as follows:
4,5 seconds loop in overdubing state (so called Delay-style)
REPEATS to 11-13 o’clock
MOD A: FILTER to 9 o’clock
MOD B: STEPPED SPEED - try any value (including before 12 o’clock for reversed pitched loops)
STABILITY: 10-12 o’clock
NORM switch position (if ADD is chosen reduce REPEATS to 9-10 o’clock)
DIP SWITCHES: MOD A, MOD B, BOUNCE, RANDOM, SWEEP,SYNC
RAMP: 13 o’clock and higher
After the BLOOPER I send the audio signal to the STRYMON VOLANTE delay. You can try any settings but I recommend using long delay time, good amount of MECHANICS and WEAR to enhance “tape effect“. Add some reverb at the end of the chain for taste.
