    Default switchable/flexible FX loop pedals

    has anyone got any recommendations for some kind of flexible FX looper? I'm sure there are pedals out there that can do this, and since i'm incredibly poor if it can be cheap that would even better.

    Basically I'm running two loops A & B, and I'd like the option of running them separately, in parallel or in series.

    so basically, A, B, A & B, and A > B

    The Boss LS2 will let you do all this but you have to bend down and physically change the switch so hard to do it on the fly.

    The only thing I can think of is to get someone like Bright Onions or Buzz Electronics to make you something. I don't think it would be massively cheap though.

    The series/parallel bit is a killer as to do it properly (and with an LED) requires five switch poles. You can do it with fewer but risk pops and noise.

    Give Dan at GigRig a call. The man is a genius.

    Sounds like a job for relay switching. Pretty easy once you make that decision.

    Expensive compared to the subsidised-by-a-day-job small builders, yes. The problem is that this day-job subsidy has distorted the market to the point that people think that £40 for a hand-wired TB switch is a bit pricey.

    those look cool, thanks. i really want something that will let me change the order of effects though. probably looking at something programmable in that case. it will probably be cheaper for me just to buy second version of the particular pedal for higher in the chain.
