Mid-Fi Electronics For Parts or Repair Review (with Synthesizers)

Donald Jordan's review of the For Parts or Repair.
The FPOR is an excellent sounding Lofi pedal that emulates the sound of a broken down tape machine.

It took me a while to understand that the spectre analyser signal was superimposed in post, and not filmed live. I had been wondering where you drove the cables to the unit ! 🙂 Very nice visual touch, your production is, as usual, top-notch !

Well produced, enjoyed watching and now buying a pedal that I wasn't looking for!

Compared to the Gen - Loss?

[@Bloom_Music]

Hmmmm…. That’s tough. They are kind of different beasts. The Gen Loss is much more capable and has more sound design options, but also costs twice as much. Honestly, they both sound excellent. If you prefer simplicity and just want something that sounds good without having to fiddle with it too much, I would recommend the For Parts. If you want something deeper, even if it requires more tweaking, the Gen Loss is tough to beat.

I JUST did a comparison for that very reason, along with my Pladask tape-y Pedals. Must say this little thing just has a mojo all of its own. It made the others sound almost clinical. Mr Tuttle got it just right with this one.

in my opinion, I have rich tape vibe, what I don't have is pedal manufacturers selling vibrato/tremolo in a package pretending to be jutter hysteria and malformed header of tape functioning. The truth is the relationship between what is classified as jitter or wow and flutter in the guitar pedal world so often is nothing more than a confused storyline being sold as such. In my reading on the subject it is clear the continued improvement of electronic equipment means almost not jitter and completely removing the wow and flutter from equipment. Tape machine and analog oscillators still suffer from wow and flutter to a degree, right, whereas the jitter is seriously a true electronics engineering problem and if present will slowly degrade audio equipment. Do I buy into the hipster nostalgia of expensive pedals by Chase Bliss and others supporting the nu-school wave of 80s fabricato; not necessarily and not unless it's of a value to me beyond the reach of typical combinations of tremolo and vibrato and delay and chorus and phaser and reverb. I own no pedals of modulation archetype to be fair. do your worst, will it be, the best? (edited add-on: trust me, you guys are warbling out of control. The better defined the jitter clock is the more exceptional the translated sound becomes insomuch that the devices connected will play catch up and because all devices are not created equal the sound becomes far more interesting on a microscopic level than in the variation of these super large "fanciful" adaptations of true micro timing interfacing where the jitter is physically being controlled by a computer clocking brain, you want nostalgia, seek out the best quality jitter timing)
