How do you feel about one TRS (stereo) vs two TS (mono) sockets for effect loops? I've been doing 2xTS for Gjengangar and Tåken, but considering 1x TRS for an updated Gjengangar as a way to free up space for other stuff.

If you run a Digitech Timebender in mono you can create an effects loop - guitar into left input, gets delayed, goes out left output, goes to any pedals you want then comes back to Timebender right input, gets delayed again, goes out right output to amp...*

Digitech Timebender? por que no los dos?





*... or let's face it another delay because, why not? I mean you're on ILF and you're reading this; you almost certainly own too many delay pedals

The DOD Rubberneck is great for this.

Very few cheap options it seems

My Rubberneck opened the gates to a new world of awesomness, it's my first fx-loop'd delay pedlol Are they always this finnicky and weirdly interactive with the other controls though? It seems like using the fx loop bypasses a couple of the rubberneck's controls or something

But yeah, not a fan of the trs in/out thing. Turns out my soldering skills let me down, I probably shouldn't have used cheap shitty plugs
Apparantly short y-cables aren't that easy to come by in these parts of the world, let alone with board-friendly pancake plugs or L-shaped plugs.

I always used to prefer two plugs but I got a cheap Y cable for my Rubberneck and it was fine. I'd be in favor of freeing space for other stuff.

This is just what I was hoping for! I had a Rubberneck and loved the loop, but it didn't play well with the "several" other delays I usually have going (also the oscillations were too crazy for me). I'm thinking about the Electroman, though I'd really like something with longer delay times...

Is this unique to the Timebender? Or can other stereo delays do this? Fascinating...

You should be fine with a TRS socket, especially if it means you can add other stuff. I would think your customers are savvy enough to handle it.

One thing I love about your pedals is that you have a mix knob for the effects loop. That's crucial. The loop in the Rubberneck drives me a little crazy because it can take over the tone. Modulation pedals are fine but anything else can get hairy. I thought it would be funny to throw a Miku Stomp in the loop but it was SO LOUD, any chance of subtlety was lost. I would hit a note and the repeats would be yelling at me "OOOH!! EEEEEE!! AHHHH!! WAHHH!! OOOH!!".

I need that mix knob to calm things down a bit. I don't want my neighbors to think I'm torturing anime characters.

i like the way you think
