Imp/Cave Dweller (Lead Loop Thingy)

Some of you might be too young to remember, but we used to have these things called shows, where people played music for other people  ::)

I built this to solve my lead tone problem.  I like to have a boost at the front of my overdrive and a delay at the end, which would require a karate one/two kick, live.  It was really the only time I needed to turn on two pedals at once, so, didn't really justify getting a looper. 

This is an Imp circuit into the Cave Dweller delay with a send and return in the middle of the two.  I used two soft touch circuits and wired them both to the same switch.  Kind of elaborate for such a simple problem, but I have a lot of extra time these days  :P

I love this! Did a similar thing with a Rangemaster and a Cave Dweller...no loop on mine. That said, not having to tap dance for that instant lead boost + sweet echo tone = priceless.

That's awesome John, great way to deal with a legitimate issue. Wiring looks great especially for so much off board stuff. Glad to see your doing well and staying busy.

Thanks! I've had the Cave Dweller a long time planning to build a similar lead/boost idea with a TS in the middle.  But I like so many different ODs now that the loop idea seemed like a better option.

Thanks Chris!  I'm still building, I've just been lazy with the parts ordering and I have a stack of almost finished projects.
