Intrigued with this idea. Mainly a guitar jock, I’ve recently acquired a Chase Bliss Blooper and would love to bring it into the modular world. But I don’t have a way to get the levels right yet. Guessing the dip switches could hold the answer to your modular looping questions. Chase Bliss stuff has typically thought of everything. Which is typically worth the price of admission.

I’ll likely end up going with a Bastl Hendrikson as well. But am I wrong in thinking a Make Noise Rosie could work for using guitar pedals too? Assuming you have a 1/4” to 1/8” cable to use in the Rosie’s effects loop?

These pedals are def on my short list to bring over for a play date: Chase Bliss Mood/Blooper/Thermae, CT5, Earthquaker Disaster Transport (cool!), H9.

While the amazing Patchulator has been mentioned, Boredbrain also has Intrfx for this exact purpose:

As far as syncing to clock coming from modular, a while back I did email Chase Bliss and they said they thought it was possible with the Tonal Recall, into the tap tempo, but it required some finesse with levels and such. I’ve tried clock into tap tempo other delay pedals and some of them work and some don’t. The only one that worked perfectly was the Carbon Copy Deluxe. Since that’s analog though you can’t loop with it (freeze the delay in the buffer) Someone out there needs to build a simple looper that syncs to an analog clock. I wish I had enough electronics experience, i’d build one. I only know how to tinker with tube amps.

The new Chase Bliss Blooper can sync to CV.

Also, with it’s repeats knob it could be used as a synced delay as well as a looper (just leave it recording into a loop and adjust the repeats knob to use as a ‘frippertronics’ type delay).

When I found this out I pre-ordered (there are hardly any loopers I could find that sync to CV).

Recommendation for the Knob.farm Ferry from me too. Small, stereo and connects with modules using Intellijel’s 3-pin Link connector.

"CV Clock
CV can be used for two different things with Blooper: sync, or
modulation. By default, CV will provide modulation (configured
in the same way as expression). By engaging the CV clock
dipswitch, the CV jack will instead look for a clock source to
sync to. Pressing the footswitch arms Blooper, but recording
will only be engaged (and disengaged) when it detects a pulse.
Playback will also stay synced to avoid drifting. If nothing is
plugged into the CV jack, Blooper will detect this and operate
as normal. "

Ah this is exactly what I need. $500 though. Argh. Lol.

Are you running out to guitar pedal levels or line levels?

My use case is to run either stereo or dual mono to an iPad through an interface like an Apogee Duet which I have or a MOTU M-4 which I am considering.

The other module I was considering is the Strymon.

I like the fact that the Ferry has attenuation.

I was going to start a new thread but I think this fits here: I have been doing research into devices to use at the end of your chain for saturation, re-amping, diboxes etc. Pedals or boxes for the audio glue to finish a sound. (I went down a rabbit hole after the 1u e[x]ist posted by @sonoCircuit)

Oto machines, Boum (or analog heat) seems like an obvious choice for synths but the price tag for these are pretty intense. I have also been looking at pre-amp pedals like Hudson Broadcast, and JHS Colour box for saturation. Curious if anyone has experience with these kinds of devices.

Looking for advice/experience in general for techniques to condition modular synth sounds before sending it to a mixer. I feel like I could be doing more than sending a basic lineout from my case.

Line level out to Polymoon and Mercury7, a little gain back in and it saturates nicely.

I’m also using an ES-8 for sending stuff to AUM for processing.

I’ve been playing a lot – and quite happy – with the Strymon Deco for that exact purpose its tape saturation is ridiculous IMO.
Here is a video that sold me on it:

Another very good option is the Elektron Analog Drive
