elephantgrey Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Is it possible to have a loop pedal that both can feedback the signal onto itself, as well as adding a clean blend? Im sorry if this is a stupid question, but im unsure (electronically speaking) what the difference between a blend and a feedback is, they both seam to link the send and return from the effects, im unsure that stops the signal going wither way (stops a blend pedal feeding back the signal, or a feedback loop adding clean). Many thanks for any help. Quote

Left Foot Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 I had one and sold it through BC, it was a devi ever 'spectacular enema' or something like that. Quote

The feedback side takes some of the output of the effects loop and feeds it back into the input of the effects loop, creating weird oscillations etc. Quote
elephantgrey Posted March 13, 2015 Author Posted March 13, 2015 I ended up buying the VFB-2 off of Gareth, which arrived this morning. Its a really handy pedal. The feedback is going to make for some fun pavement style shoe-gazer/noise outros. Quote
cheddatom Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 I love my feedback loop. If you have a good bit of dirt in the loop, a wah pedal will act like a pitch shifter for the feedback weeeeeeeeee. If you have a delay it'll go mental. I particularly like my whammy set to an octave up, so that the pitch of the note seems to get higher and higher (very fast), it creates massive sounds! Quote
