Loopy (LP8+) is a DIY 8 loop programmable guitar pedal switcher with support for MIDI commands.
Loopy is designed around easy-to-find components:
- an atmega328(p) micro controller
- 2 74HC595 registers
- 8 relays
- several LEDS
- several audio jacks
This page is a collection of documents that can help you build your own looper.
Have a look at the Manual for more info.
Please refer to the How To Build Loopy page.
Please contact me if you need a PCB: I will try to have spares available as long as there is demand for it.
Rectangular holes (of good quality) are generally quite hard to make unless you have specialised tools, so I have put more effort on dislaying the status using LEDs, which only require round holes.
No. Loopy doesn't contain any signal buffer: this gives the final user the flexibility to choose whether to have or not a buffer.
No. While the micro controller used in this project is the same of the Arduino UNO, nothing of the Arduino platform is used: no bootloader, no USB port, no libraries. In fact, all the code is written from scratch in C++.
No. However, I could be interested in discussing a partnership. Please get in touch.
No. At the moment, I have decided to keep the source code private.
