Thanks for the information! I'm not sure what a looper is. I have 2 loop stations but I think you're talking about something else. It's something that would replace the Morley ABY? I'm ok with using the ABY for now. Maybe one day I'll have the time (and the confidence) to try building something like that myself. This is a great website but I'm not even a beginner when it comes to DIY electronics.
I wasn't talking about the "loopers" that record and play back snippets of your playing (like your Loop Stations).
A
switcher for two effects chains/channels (often referred to as "loops") is what I'm talking about. You could make a simpler one-channel effects loop just for your B+LD&D, to bring it in and out of your effects loop, but the PedalPCB 2-channel looper would give you more flexibility.
I actually prefer the term "switcher" because of the confusion caused by two very different things being given the same label — "looper".
Believe me, the 2-channel switcher is very easy and besides, at some point we were ALL less than beginners in DIY electronics;
Honestly, if I can build a loop switcher (and I have and still consider myself a novice), then pretty much anybody with a will to do so
CAN DO SO!
You can start practicing by soldering your own patch-cables, then try the switcher. Every 1,000 mile journey begins with one step.
As Chris said, if you prefer, you can just buy a commercial switcher or get someone on the forum to build you one.
There's also nothing wrong with using the ABY if that's working for you — no need to spend money if you don't have to.
Who knows, maybe there's someone on the forum that lives near you that can help you with fixing your TC E pedal?
