Question for the hive mind.
I am trying to build the smallest A/B switcher that also has an on/bypassed switch. I have a UAFX Orion that I really like for slapback and longer delays, but it doesn't have presets. My idea is to get another Orion, leave them both enabled, and then A/B switch them, along with an on/bypass switch for no delay.
I'm trying to think of how to do this in as small a package as I can. I'm also open to schematics/PCB for this as well, if this exact thing already exists. Otherwise I'll just combine an A/B with a normal switching setup.
I figure I need 6 jacks and 2 3PDT stomp switches. LEDs might change that though, and I think they'll be a requirement. It seems like a lot for a 1590, A or B.
Another possibly dumb idea I had is to use a stereo jack for in and out from each pedal, and use a Y cable to the pedal jacks. I have no idea if this is possible/too noisy/otherwise problematic, does anyone know?
The last quirk is I am using a Temple Audio board with quick releases. A possible idea I had is to use a riser to put 1 pedal on top of the other, and the switcher nearby/next to the stack of Orions. The slapback doesn't need settings changed, so it can be underneath and inaccessible.
This is a lot of rambling and half-baked ideas, but I'd love some input, thoughts, or ideas on how to accomplish this. Or if anyone could convince Universal Audio to add presets to the Orion, it would save me some work
Thanks!
