Stamme[n]

drolo

V2.1

Stamme[n] is a pedal that originated from the initial idea and collaboration with Kent Sommer (aka

UglyCasanova). He asked me if I could make him a pedal that would loop short samples but whose sample

size could be set by tapping a tempo. From there the pedal went through many iterations and a few months

later we had something that seemed like a useful tool. It was a fun project and I want to thank Kent for his

input, ideas and the nice chats.

It has undergone a lot of changes since then. For this second version (actually 2.1) I was able to combine the

4 stuttering modes from V1 into one single mode, which allowed to add 3 new modes. The bypass

(electronic, not true) is now engaged automatically when pressing the stutter switch, so I was able to

eliminate the dedicated bypass footswitch.

Page 2 Connecting and powering: The power supply needs to be 9V DC min. 80ma center negative like the common BOSS type power supplies: Make sure the polarity of your power supply is correct or it will damage the pedal. Do NOT run at higher voltages.
Page 3 MODE rotary switch: 8 different operation modes divided in two groups TT (Tap Tempo): The bypass switch starts the loop. Maximum sample size is 1sec. The function switch is used to tap the tempo. Its action is triggered on release. So if you are tapping to a beat, count your releases not your presses.
Page 4 WET/DRY : These pots are used to set the level for wet and dry. In the middle position they are about unity gain, which means that you can also boost signals when the effect is engaged. BYPASS switch: This is an electronic bypass, meaning that when bypassed, the signal goes through a buffer. If tapped quickly, the switch will turn the effect on/off but if you hold it for more than 0.3 seconds while it was off, the switch will engage the effect momentarily until you release the switch.
