Title: 2 footswitches, 1 pedal
Post by: Guybrush on September 11, 2022, 04:12:36 PM
Hi all

On my my pedalboard I have a multi effects that I use for a few rarely-used effects that don't warrant spots of their own on the board.

The problem is its noisy when turned off so I'm going to build a bypass loop pedal for it.

Question - Is it possible to build a loop pedal with two footswitches? One latching, one momentay.

Is anyone aware of a project or layout for something like this?

Thanks as always.

I do t know of one, but I've been running this around in my head. If you  use run a jumper from the effect return to the out lug on a momentary, it should work. So, for example, a momentary connected to lug 7 and lug 8 on your stomp switch.

Well that sounds sounds simple enough to try.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained and all that!

Cheers, I'll give it a shot and report back

Oh you would also need to do the same with lugs 4 and 5 using the same momentary Dpdt. I just thought about it some more.

Reading this again, I'm not as clear on it as I thought I was.

Is there any way you'd be able to draw up a basic sketch?

Please and thank you!
