Metropoulous Zero Loss fx loop

Does anybody know if George is still selling these?

Zero Loss FX loop kit

The original and still the BEST! Since Steve Miller discovered the LND150 FET in 2005 and created the circuit that passes full preamp signal to/from external FX, with ZERO loss. This has set the standard. Newly updated Rev 4 adds integrated level switching to the exceptional Zero Loss loop...

I heard he wasnt making anything anymore, thats why i asked. Whats google?

It's orderable but note, it's a KIT. The pre-built version is not currently being offered. 85 dollars for the kit. And 70 dollars for the circuit board alone.

Actually

Marcomel loves some solid state circuit board work...

Best loop out there.

If you seek out help on the Zero Loss Facebook group... Don't. There's some asshat that runs his mouth on there saying all the loops are noisy. The kid barely has a grasp on how to work a soldering on. I can't shut him down anymore since he blocked me. LoL

The instructions couldnt be any clearer on the site

Reminds me of that bloke who claims the Marshall stock loops do digital downsampling...

I went to order one last night and did everything but actually send payment. The site clearly said that options were for the kit for 85 dollars or for the bare board for 70. An assembled loop was not among the offerings.
I probably should order up a couple while they're still available.

I blew one up once, it was mounted over power tube sockets and got damaged by stray screen voltage due to chipped insulating epoxy oni the screen resistor. I replaced all the diodes and transistors on it and it still didn't work. I got high voltage on the jacks. That's not right!

Looks to me like it's all pre-assembled apart from the dropping resistors, wire and switch.



It's not rocket science.

 

[Purgasound]

Yeah they're all preassembled boards. There is no option to purchase an unpopulated board.

The bare kit which is $70 just comes without the extra supply dropping resistors, wire, and switch.

The extra resistors are a nice touch as it has enough values to enable tapping off different points of the B+ and also has spares to decrease B+ dropping resistors to compensate for any voltage drop the loop may impart downstream of the circuit.

 

[Matthews Guitars]

Maybe I just interpreted "kit" to mean, you'd have to populate the board yourself, when that's not what it means in this case.

If it's that, then it's the same kit it used to be.

Thanks guys, i heard people say that after Covid he had to get a job and wasnt making amps anymore so i figured id ask around before placing an order for something im never gonna get

 

[Matthews Guitars]

I'm pretty sure that if it's orderable on the website, you'll get it. If not, you can get a refund via the payment processor.

It was for my brother, he just bought it today
