A bit about the pedal
So Tom joins the team and we don’t even need to talk about it, the first thing to do is make a Generation Loss. Tom got down to work and I left him alone and then months later we started talking about what he’s actually doing and I realized it’s a totally different pedal.
And it was kind of scary.
The Generation Loss was already so beloved just the way it was.
The idea behind Generation Loss was always to make a VHS simulator, but up to this point it’s really kind of been its own thing. A big part of the Generation Loss was sample rate reduction, for example, but VHS players don’t do that. At least not to audio. It’s almost been like a mix of the audio and visual aspects of VHS in one.
Which is actually pretty great.
So why are we changing it?
Well, we are and we aren’t. That’s the comforting thing. Generation Loss mkII has a Classic mode that keeps things exactly as they were. Safe.
It’s extremely cool. He’s had an old VHS player opened up on his desk for months, he’s been messing with it and really zooming in on what’s happening when we hear those nostalgic sounds we like. What’s specifically going wrong inside the machinery to make it sound so good? Anyway, that’s probably a story we’ll tell over the next few months as we get ready to start shipping these things out.
I do want to say that Tom and I are so happy with how this has all turned out, both the pedal and the plan.
