This is a great demo with some really nice sounds! Blooper plays so well with Mood MKII and other stereo effects like Strymon Deco and Volante.

Hi, just saw your video, great detailed review, I'm worried about the NAND Flash, any updates on this from Chase Bliss?, do you know what type of NAND Flash memory is?: SLC, MLC, TLC and QLC?,Does the other Chase Bliss pedals like Mood or habit have the same issue?

[@YukiTheSynthDragon]

Not sure on the flash type. The other pedals store the loops in ram iirc and are volatile. No wear issue but you can’t store loops either.

Try out Vongon Polyphrase. Much more hands on, midi synced and stereo

Hello, I've got a question about how to change the MIDI channel on my CBA pedals. I can't get it to work with Ableton. I know that I have to unplug and plug in again while holding both switches and then send Program Change. But I don't know how that works in Ableton... I have 4 CBA pedals and I would like them on different MIDI channels. But I can't figure it out.. I really hope you could help me out.

[@YukiTheSynthDragon]

I have yet to MIDI connect any of them.

[@MichaelBarmaley]

almost 6 months. do you still use have it?

[@YukiTheSynthDragon]

sure do. I used it last week.

Neat pedal, I'm sure there's a stereo update in the works like they did with Moods (and if there isn't, there should be). Until then, this (and Habit) are sort of useless to me. I have a few stereo loopers I rely on.

[@noahzeidman508]

They’ve pretty explicitly said not to expect a stereo version anytime soon due to limits on processing power at the size/price point. Luckily, it’s amazing with mono sources and then into stereo effects!

@@noahzeidman508 don't think I haven't fantasized about using a pair together, haha - sadly that approach kind of defeats the playable aspects (or rather, complicates them immensely). I find it hard to believe they couldn't do a reasonable stereo version with units like Microcosm selling at similar price points. Personally I find $500 for a mono pedal an absurd price point to begin with, but I'm willing to bet they could muster up a stereo version for around $700 and still make a killing on the thing.

@@billybartcody3591 I think my reply disappeared but I’m inclined to agree overall, but the live stream from a couple weeks ago was super clear about the upcoming priorities for the company and that something like a Blooper MKII is years down the line. Now I’m thinking about a MIDI footswitch controller and two Bloopers set to the same MIDI channel. Easily a $1,000 rig, but damn would that be cool

@@noahzeidman508 yeah it would! But at that point I'd be tempted to grab a Reminder or Cosmos. Thanks for dispelling my dreams, lol
