Looper (Multitrack Tape-Style Collage / Granular Sampler-Looper) · $320
The Puremagnetik LAPS is a digital multitrack Tape-Style Collage / Granular Sampler-Looper pedal based on the Digital 3-track granular/tape-style sampler built on the Electrosmith Daisy Seed embedded DSP platform, with 6 knobs, each with a Shift-held secondary function: START/BPF (loop start point / bandpass filter frequency, bypassed at zero), END/RES (loop end point / bandpass filter bandwidth), MOD/PAN (loop-point modulator / per-lap stereo pan), LEV/PITCH (per-lap volume / playback speed in semitones, +/-12), AGE/GRAIN (cassette-style tape-age effect / per-lap send to granulator), MIX/DENS (global input-vs-loop blend / global granulator density) controls. Features stereo I/O. From $320.

| Signal | Digital |
| Controls | 6 knobs, each with a Shift-held secondary function: START/BPF (loop start point / bandpass filter frequency, bypassed at zero), END/RES (loop end point / bandpass filter bandwidth), MOD/PAN (loop-point modulator / per-lap stereo pan), LEV/PITCH (per-lap volume / playback speed in semitones, +/-12), AGE/GRAIN (cassette-style tape-age effect / per-lap send to granulator), MIX/DENS (global input-vs-loop blend / global granulator density) |
| Switches | 3-position toggle (Lap 1/2/3 selector), SHIFT pushbutton (secondary knob functions; double-click switches Replica/Multiply mode; SHIFT+click erases current lap; SHIFT+hold clears all laps and resets) |
| Footswitches | 1 |
| Bypass | Buffered, non-true bypass on the current Umbra Edition (in-production); true bypass via footswitch combo (SHIFT + double-click) on the earlier Winked Silver / Limited Edition Yellow hardware revisions, now discontinued |
| True bypass | Yes |
| Stereo | Yes |
| I/O | L/R 1/4" audio inputs (mono via left-input-only sums to both outputs; right-input-only outputs right channel only; both inputs = discrete stereo), L/R 1/4" audio outputs, high-quality A/D/A converters (jack size inferred from standard pedal convention -- not explicitly stated in manuals) |
| Power | 9-15V DC center-negative |
| Weight | Umbra Edition (current): 794 g (~1.75 lb). Earlier Winked Silver / Yellow editions: 1361 g (~3.0 lb). Manufacturer's own Shopify shipping-weight field; may include packaging, not confirmed as net unit weight |
