gotcha, cool to know.

i got my money on case design and a few incremental upgrades (like pog -> pog2).

exactly. and if it fits the bill for what you need now, the presence of an updated version won’t change that… with all tech, you can spend forever waiting to make sure you get the current thing – meanwhile, you miss all the time of actually using a unit to make things…

if i had to guess, i’d say later summer at the earliest…

it would be great to see two loopers released.

a smaller, simpler version taking the place of the 16 second delay

and a new updated version of the 2880. maybe xo-like case? (think big pigtronix?)

seems like there would be space in the line-up…

i’d imagine you’d have to intercept the signal going to the pot to control the parameter you want to foot-control – adding a switching jack that you can then run out to an appropriately valued foot controlled pot.

i’d try and get in touch with the people who have actually modded the pedals in the way you are hoping for and ask them on the specifics/values etc

let us know what you find out.

oh yeah, super easy. the switch has its own breakout board. desolder, put new switch in, solder, done.

i am surprised this doesn’t exist — seems like there is a market for a simple looper. the boss rc-2 / rc-3 seem to be the only/closest competitor in the small+simple looper category, but lacks the essential ability to attenuate the loop and the single footswitch is not as intuitive / easy to use live as a two switch setup (although i know you can get an external switch for the boss). the 16-second delay reissue seemed to fill this space when it was available, but its large footprint doesn’t make it an ideal fit…

here would be my wishlist for a small+simple dedicated loop pedal:

*two switches:

1.) left switch= record (press to record, after recording once to stop recording, after recorded once to play the loop and overdub, once after pressing play to overdub, again to stop overdubbing, hold when not playing to erase loop)

2.) right switch= play (press after recording to start playing loop, press again to stop playing loop, press and hold to activate new loop ready while playing or stopped so next press of the recording switch activates starting recording a new loop ala the ‘new loop’ button on the 2880)

*two knobs:

1.) blend knob

2.) attenuation knob that is always active regardless of whether you are in recording mode or not (which would enable the ability to slowly fade a loop out without adding to it while continuing to play)

*16-bit 44.1khz recording quality or better

*long loop length (thinking 5 minutes or more, the idea being you won’t hit the maximum length in any practical situation)

*stereo in/out

*medium xo box (big muff size) turned on its side would be great – however, i suppose i could live with the larger xo box (smmwh)

seems do-able! i think they would get gobbled up…
