EQD Swiss Things

[MichaelW]

This would be cool.And helpful for a pedal board that has FF's as well as Delays and other stuff. I could live without the boost. One loop buffered, one unbuffered for FF's.....

 

[szukalski]

I would make boost it's own loop, and have each loop with a clean mix (or at least the modulation one). But that's just my dream..

 

[MichaelW]

Yah what this does not have is a wet/dry blender for one or both loops.

Something I was asking for a blender with several loops!

 

[Joben Magooch]

I love this sort of "utility" type stuff!
I've put in a couple of requests for similar boxes in the past. I've made more switchers, blenders, loopers, etc than I care to count. And they all work just fine and are fairly simple to put together, but I would love to see them done on PCBs...In my experience a lot of these are easy enough to build but end up with a lot of wires and such and it's just hard to keep clean. Stuff like board-mounted jacks, pots, etc would make it all so, so much cleaner...

This would be cool. Anyone know of mini push button switch like the phase switch on the Swiss things?

 

[Harry Klippton]

I always wondered what was up with the form factor of this thing. Does it make sense to any of you?

Push button DPDT (for Double Jeopardy, or anywhere you'd use a toggle)

I'm building the Double Jeopardy. I don't mind toggles, but I like the button on the original Solo Boost. Does anyone know of a push-button switch, that is suitable to sub for a toggle in Pedalpcb builds? It would have to have a similar body height to a Taiway, and only require a simple hole to...

My guess is it was a functional thing that came out of prototyping, kinda ugly but for their intended usecase - swiss things at top right of your board, bottom row of your board is all gain, top row of your board is all mod and time effects, make sure all foot switches are far enough apart for no accidental presses - I can see how this particular layout would come out on top.

The thing that gets me is that the buffered loop is on/off and doesn’t allow trails; seems like an obvious miss?

My first thought was, "..no graphics, Earthquaker? ..wtf?"

I like the layout of the footswitches but they sure put that boost knob in the danger zone
This could be one of the few times a side-mounted pot' might've been a good idea?

@manfesto you're totally right, there should be tails/trails!

Same, my dude, same

 

[Robert]

So what are we saying, a clean blend on each of the loops?

 

[Dan M]

Is the OBNE signal blender closer to what you want?

From what I can figure out: The signal blender, the Klein bottle, and the Swiss thing are all a bit different. They all “mix” but not in the same way. Are any of them “the best” or are they just different?

 

[MichaelW]

That would be super sweet,

- Blend/mix knob on both loops
- Loop #1 w/input buffer, tails bypass
- Loop #2 unbuffered (for Fuzz Faces and the like)
- Loops can be turned on/off independently
- Truebypass passthrough
- Skip the boost circuit, I'd rather choose the flavor of boost before or after the box.
- tuner send
- expression pedal for overall volume control

That's my wishlist.....

And we want it all for 10 bucks.

I will go as high as $11, maybe $12.

Wow you guys are so cheap.....
*folds up dollar bill and puts it in pocket....*

Yah for sure the OBNE handles all the blending and mixing. This what I was hoping to build with the GCPCB Paramix board. Only 2 loops in my case. Or some amalgamation of the Paramix plus the GGG Dual IC buffer or the PPCB Simple JFet buffer board, all stuffed into a 1590b

Hmmm, one thing I forgot, phase reversal. I learned this the hard way when I tried using the Buff n Blend board. Not all pedals like to be blended due to phase issues. So there's got to be a way to reverse phase.

 

[mcluff]

OMG YES let me add my vote to:

1. Clean blend for each loop
2. expression control for clean blends (or maybe just overall volume per MichaelW)
