A PEDAL FOR LESS THEN $20.00 USD

What's an.... EFFECTS LOOP SWITCHER ?

 GROUP SEVERAL PEDALS TOGETHER AND BRING THEM INTO PLAY WITH ONE SWITCH

For example lets say you are playing a tune where the you are using an overdrive and chorus on the verse and wish to switch to a distortion going through an echo for a short bridge...and then go back...to just a chorus for a verse. Without a loop switcher you will be doing the pedal 2 Step and Bavarian waltz to change all those pedals and back. By having the the overdrive and chorus in one loop and the distortion and echo in another you just click 2 pedals. You click off one... click on the other... for the first step. While playing the bridge you turn off the overdrive in the first loop...then when the bridge is thru you just repeat clicking the 2 pedals to switch loops and instantly you are into the verse with just the chorus on. 
OK it's confusing at first...but you will get into it quite quickly and soon see the
need for one or 2 more.

PROTAITONE 1LOOP.... $17.99 USD

 they give you 10 colors to choose from.


I have 48 pedals and I have 4 of these. I group FX in one... Delays in a second... Overdrives in a third and Distortions in a fourth. The colours make it easy to pick which group I want. Protiatone make a pedal that has 3 in one box and a pedal that switches between 2 with one switch.

the next cheapest loop switcher is made by One Control...the best price on that is... $50.00 USD  other companies like MXR ask considerably more.

  1. I believe in your blog Paul. This was the reason I started building Pedals. Too many good pedals to afford owning them all!
