Lo-Fi Loop Junky
A 20-second analog phrase looper that intentionally degrades the loop with low fidelity, compression, hiss, and a warped-record vibrato, while your direct signal stays clean.
About this pedal
Records up to 20 seconds of phrase looping through a deliberately low-fidelity path — a signal cut off around 2.6 kHz, brick-wall compression, hiss, and a warbling vibrato meant to sound like an old radio or worn vinyl — while the dry, direct guitar signal passes through clean. Hand-painted finish.
