Jon over at Cusack Music posted a note over at The Gear Page stating he is back on the company’s looper project and should have it done soon. According to Cusack, the production version will have 8 or 10 loops, and will be programmable with as many presets as it has loops. Jon adds that he will offer modules for special purposes, such as A/B amp switching, and amp footswitching (Channel, Reverb, etc…). There will also be a stereo option and it may include a buffer option as well. It is early days for a firm feel on availability and price, but it is safe to say we’ll see this in 2010 for sure.

The Cusack More Louder stomp, which promises the tone of your guitar, but more of it and louder, is now shipping. The boost pedal features a single gain knob that controls the level of boost and a toggle switch that allows the player to choose between true bypass and buffered bypass. In buffered bypass mode, the More Louder’s high impedance buffer gives you more nuanced tones and will not load down your guitar’s pick-ups. As a result, the player gets the full range out of his/her pick-ups. Cusack adds that there should be no tone loss in the cabling, or by the input of an amp or other effects. The pedal is available now and carries a price of $200.

Cusack Music expects to ship its small, single knob boost pedal – cleverly dubbed ‘More Louder’ – in the coming weeks. The pedal also boasts a toggle switch that selects between buffered or true bypass mode. The knob is to add gain. Due to its small size, More Louder will be external power only. According to Cusack. with the More Louder in buffered bypass mode a player will notice sounds from their guitar that they didn’t hear before. Because it’s a high impedance buffer, it does not load down a guitar’s pickups. As a result, pickups are allowed to operate at their full range. Be sure and stay tuned for details on the pending ‘Less Quieter’ sibling stomp!
