Title: Effects switcher question
Post by: jimilee on July 03, 2014, 03:14:17 PM
Could we build an effects switcher in its own box rather than put it into one multi effect? You could then use it anywhere on your board. I was looking at this: http://www.guitarpcb.com/apps/webstore/products/show/4611320
And to answer your question, because we can gentleman, because we can.  8)

Jimi, do you mean like a box that will switch between 2 effect pedals externally? Like this,

I have built the above and it works great.

I have included this exact thing in probably a dozen dual-builds so far (only sends and returns are wired to respective boards).

Nope, I should have been more clear, an effects order switcher, my bad. I placed a link to gpcb, he has a board to keep from hard wiring it. It's fairly simple either way though.

Grind customs had a board called 'Switcheroo'.  Worked great.  You could use that and box up the toggle with the send/return for each effect.

the link from beavis was exactly what you were asking for. Im confused why you think that isnt what you want.
Ive built the beavis one too, and it works great.

Because I didn't look at it long enough to realize it was a an effects switcher. I thought it was just a looper. My bad.
