RB Special Looper

Attention all Ritchie Blackmore disciples! The BSM RB Special Looper is a game-changer for capturing that iconic post-1974 Blackmore tone. This passive looper packs a secret weapon - a pair of custom-designed line transformers that solve a crucial challenge Blackmore himself faced. The problem? Blackmore's legendary high-output treble booster often overwhelmed the modulation and delay pedals he relied on. Enter the RB Special Looper. In the first stage, it cleverly lowers the input level by 50%, taming that fierce treble boost to play nicely with other effects. Then, in the return path, the signal is pushed back up to 100% - restoring Blackmore's signature output punch. This clever routing unlocks a world of sonic possibilities. You can now seamlessly blend modern digital delays and modulation with that vintage treble boost magic. And the transformers add an extra analog warmth and punch, evoking the sound of Blackmore's beloved AIWA tape echo. But the RB Special Looper's tricks don't end there. With some clever wiring, you can also use it to boost the output of any connected pedal - doubling or even quadrupling the signal to match a treble booster's levels, while retaining its smooth, natural character. An essential tool for Blackmore fanatics and tone connoisseurs alike.
