Effects order switching pedal ?

Post by oscillateur »

I'm looking for a pedal that would allow me to switch the positioning of 2 effects (or effects loops).

Basically, I'd like to go from :
Input -> Effect(s) A -> Effect(s) B -> Ouput
to :
Input -> Effect(s) B -> Effect(s) A -> Ouput

I think this can be done with a 4PDT switch, 6 jacks, an enclosure and some wire (and maybe some leds and power to be all fancy) but I frankly don't really have time for this kind of DIY and would rather get something already built.

Is there something like this available ? As small as possible, because it would be for a small board.
My first thought was the Boss LS-2 but it sadly does not do that.

My goal would be to use this to switch a looper from the end to the beginning of an effects chain, which could be useful to record awful noises from some instrument through effects on the looper and then make these loops more awful by making them go through the effects again...

Think of it as optimizing the sound decadence potential to board space ratio. :animal:

I'm pretty sure most of the usual custom bypass loop builders - loopmaster, nose, saturnworks, americanloop - can and do build what you're looking for

Correct. You can also do this with a patchulator (although not via stomp switch)
good deals are here.
flesh couch is here.

4PDT will allow this function with LED indication.

I don't really have the equipment to drill holes in enclosures etc.

But I had these guys http://www.americanloopers.com make me pretty much exactly what you are asking for.

It has 2 loops, and they added a stomp for me to reverse the order of the two loops. (they call it a Flip-Flop Mod)

They weren't the quickest, but I sent them a custom enclosure that I imagine wasn't the easiest to deal with, so everything came out good.

I had Dan W etch when they were finished with it.

Thanks for the answers. I kinda hoped there would be an easier to find solution (none of these builders seem to be local for me) but I'll look into all that.

No personal experience, but I think some people here have had good luck with Saturnworks:

I have wanted this very thing for a long long time. I also had this idea to have a a/b/y at the end of the chain and at the start so I could loop it back into itself if need be but not quite sure how/if that would work like I imagine.
