Joel Korte and the ZVEX Lo-Fi Loop Junky

Episode Summary

Today we're joined by Joel Korte of Chase Bliss! Joel's an inspiring figure in the gear industry, both for his engineering and his being-a-great-human. We get to know his story through the lens of the ZVEX Lo-Fi Loop Junky, a unique design using the ChipCorder voice recording chip to create short, compressed, warbling loops. We learn how Joel found himself at ZVEX, how he went from being a fan of the pedal to reinterpreting its sound as the Instant Lo-Fi Junky, and how he eventually went on to create Chase Bliss. This episode is about perseverance, engineering, and some goofs along the way - get in!
