Hey
I just built the loophole and I LOVE it.

I don't know why but its fidelity is far superior to what I've heard on youtube clips  
Spent over two hours  tweaking knobs and getting to know it with Isolated headphones.
Dunno if its a mix of pedals but it really didn't feel all that lo-fi to me.

But then I mostly..  used it in conjunction with about ten pedals..

and well I like the lo-fi and noisy sound.. so , irrelevant observation probably.

I wonder a bit how close the Loophole is to the tone gods Payback
http://tech.thetonegod.com/payback/payback.html

and If it could be modded to use the ISD25xx  IC chip instead for a full 40sec loop

What do you think?



Pinouts don't look all that different, and from what I can tell from the literature the ISD25xx is an updated version of the obsolete ISD1000A series.

The pins: differences

  ISD10xx                      ISD25xx
22: NC                             OVF
7:   NC                              A6
8:   NC                              A7
9:   A6                              A8
10:  A7                              A9

Oh, and searching ebay and the net you can get ISD10xx and ISD25xx chips  here and there for cheap.

Edit:
seems its a question of the mobius or payback style of DIY looper.
I dont really understand if the IC's are interchangable thou.
did see theToneGod sayes payback can only use ISD25xx chips etc. and yea the pinouts dont really match fully, but can the loophole (mobius based) use the 40s ISD25xx chips? *with pinout correction done ofcourse.

The Zombii is almost gone, but the others are still in sufficient stock to last for a bit. The Chunk Chunk is not being discontinued, and as of right now I plan on keeping the Deadringer and Poindexter around for a bit.

Thanks a lot for such a speedy reply! 
phew, I'm  a little calmer now then 

 

omg!

totally missed that the Sale items are going out of production when this their last batch is sold.

Just bought a way to expensive guitar to  so cant really go and buy ALL
of the soon to be unavalible boards.

Zombii
Sabretooth
ChunkChunk
Firebomb

I "must" atleast get those.

ANY idea If there is enough left of theese, or can they be all sold out any day now?!

/thanks for all your great projects, built loads so far and always happy with the results.
