Delay & Experimental LooperPhantom Limb by Discomfort Designs is a compact pedal that’s a combination delay and looper. The looper side is actually nine separate loopers with individual random playback triggers. Their probability of triggering is controlled by one knob called ‘Chance’. A ‘Length’ knob determines the length of the loops. It’s a beautiful mess. Since all kinds of unexpected things can happen with random loopers, the loop buffer can be locked, replaying portions of the last few moments. When locked, the ‘Length’ and ‘Chance’ knobs will scan through the buffer and dynamically change the length. This is definitely my favorite part. All of that loopy madness goes into the delay side of the pedal. The delay has three modes: clean, drifting modulation, and pitch shifted. It’s weird, but that’s what we’re here for. TIME: 2 sec. max delay timeREGEN: Strength of repetitionsM / C / P : Modulation, Clean Digi Delay, Rising Pitch ShiftFILTER: frequency cutoff of multimode filterBP / LP / HP : Band Pass, Low Pass, High Pass FiltersDELAY: Press and hold to clear bufferLOOP: loops on/off -long press to freeze bufferLENGTH: 15s recording bufferCHANCE: Playback and buffer scan probabilityX2 / X1 / X4 : toggles multipliers for master clockLong pressing the LOOP switch will lock the loop buffer. When locked, the LENGTH knob will change the frozen loop length and the CHANCE knob will scrub / search through the buffer. Use this freeze feature with the buffer for endless madness.VIDEO MANUAL
