PedalPCB 5-Loop True Bypass Switcher

You’ll get the LEDs!

Really missing a business opportunity here @Robert. First you release as 3PDT, then each year you swap one out for a soft relay. Maybe make the PCB rounder in year four, and ignore all the requests people are making. You could call it the Pear Looper.

I’m excited for this!..

Yeah I can get em in there, the process just needs to be easier. Working on a nicer solution.

First you release as 3PDT

I'm working on the 3PDT version right now.

howzabout a stereo version?

You have two feet, just build two.


The idea did cross my mind.

Despite my adoration for king crimson, I don’t tend to sit on a stool and use both feet at once for pedaling ala Fripp

Assuming you mean standard stereo TRS loops it would be fairly simple to make the current prototype stereo.

Logic and relay drive is all on one board, signal path on the other. All it would take is another set of relays on the signal board to switch the ring terminals.

Pretty much just that. Secondary relays for each one for stereo.
Dual TS would be nice to avoid splitter cables but that would require an alternate signal board, so TRS would be fine

I can’t wait to post my troubleshooting thread for this…

One thing I really liked about the Joyo was how basic but how powerful it was.

No menu diving. There were a few things to scroll through but you didn’t need an engineering degree from MIT to use it.

It was just too fucking big, which is why I wanted a 1032L.

I’d be happy to provide the graphics for any project that gets off the ground.

Super excited about this project! I've built my own passive 5-channel looper, so having an active one with relay switching would be amazing.

My only feature request would be for switchable input and output buffers.

This is gonna be a great project.
If you end up with a non-programmable switcher it would be really good to have 2 different switching modes:
"and" - like a normal bypass when you can have multiple loops engaged at a time
"or"- only one loop can be engaged at a time, so when you engage some loop all other loops will be disengaged.

The plan is to have a few different versions available to fit the needs of the builder.

The digitally controlled version(s) will absolutely have XOR switching.

It should also have a kitchenette and a fish tank…

Why wouldn't it?

I want an OLED with a built in Raspberry Pi so I can play my SNES emulator in between sets.

Anything less is unacceptable. I'll just have one of my guitar techs switch the pedals for me off-stage.

How about a roach cli…I mean, alligator clip…on a long telescopic arm for…on second thought, nvm…

And a Bluetooth page turner.

No, not for sheet music... just in case I want to read a book.

The issue there is that we'd need 1032L line cutting / milling and so far we don't even have drilling.

FWIW . . . . AmplifyFun now does drilling for the 1032L enclosure size. There is a bare bones template available for the 1032L if you want it.
But for all the details, (dunno if he can do line cutting / milling or painting) it's best to contact Spencer Davis directly at AmplifyFun in Portland..
