Discomfort Designs Iceland Spar Experimental Dual Looper

Iceland Spar from Discomfort Designs is a dual looper that can create luscious textures and hypnotic rhythms. Designed to work independently yet bound by a shared energy, these loopers offer endless possibilities for sonic experimentation. Each looper features infinite overdubs, but their transient nature ensures that once a loop is cleared, it's gone forever. With parameters like Drift, a lush modulated reverb, and Refract, which degrades loops over time, the Iceland Spar lets you sculpt soundscapes that evolve, decay, and transform. For those moments of regret, the Unbend function restores loops to their original glory. From capturing fragments of sound to letting them dissolve into the ether, Iceland Spar is as much a musical tool as it is a creative collaborator.

Looper 1 offers clean playback options with dry/wet controls and a versatile mode knob that shifts between forward and reverse playback at varied speeds and harmonized intervals. Meanwhile, Looper 2 introduces dynamic sequencing and chopping capabilities, dividing loops into randomized or mathematically selected segments for endlessly engaging playback. With switches for modes like Normal/Plus and Seq/Chop, and speeds ranging from subtle to extreme, Looper 2 transforms your recordings into unpredictable, boundary-pushing textures. Independent mix controls ensure seamless integration of both loops into your signal, while intuitive footswitch operations keep everything at your fingertips. Iceland Spar isn't just a pedal, it's a living being or playful nymph that inspires serendipity around every corner.
