Got a Generation Loss from Cooper FX, Here's a Demo

I got this pedal a few days ago and have been playing with it a lot. It's meant to sound like a VHS tape... that's been copied too many times. Definitely cool for lo-fi or laid back music. I did a demo of it if anyone is interested in seeing it.

Cooper FX has a subforum here: viewforum.php?f=267

Might get more response by posting it there or in the general gear section of the forum. Cool demo. Gave you a sub. I still think it sounds the best with synths or if you run an entire mix through it though.

There's also a secret mode that you missed (unless he removed it in the newer versions of the pedal). There should be a small white toggle on the PCB that turns the pedal into a sample and hold device. :thumb:

Apparently it "just" turns the compression on/off on the newer PCBs.

Isn't he making a straight up sample and hold pedal now?

Yes, in the works. Outward.

Just, as in "it used to make it into an entirely different pedal and now it turns a single function on or off, but on the other hand the compression is really squishy so maybe it's not just just". Yeees. Nice explanation, UC. You're a master of semantics ... :cry: :animal:

Yeah, the board in your version is completely different from the one in mine.
Now that's gonna be a selling point for people on Reverb/eBay. :facepalm:

Also, I wonder why teej doesn't make the switch a second footswitch or external toggle?
