ok, after much prodding from my sig-o

exhausted

i decided i will continue to pursue this pedal thing. what i'm doing is different enough from loooper to justify my existence.

now if my damn parts would arrive so i can finish the first versions. :mad:

Pacomc79

Awesome.

One thing I'd want is a kill switch pedal with a slide switch so it's only off when I step on it.


Have you thought of trying a volume pedal?

exhausted

you mean a non-latching switch? like a stutter switch like greenwood has on his teles?

as for the volume pedal. not yet.

Pacomc79

yes. non latching.

exhausted

piece of cake. want me to put on in yours? it'll be a little crowded though. or is this something you'd want in a separate box?

Pacomc79

actually yeah if it's not too crowded to work.

exhausted

i'll give it a shot. it'll be between the two latching footswitches somewhere. hopefully it'll be workable.

so you want the signal to be:

gtr ----> tuner mute ----> effect loop ----> kill switch ----> outputs?

or do you want the kill switch to stutter just the effects but not mute the amps?

Pacomc79

mute the amps. I want the whole signal dead I think, not that it matters I'm not Tom Morello. I'm only playing to an audience of thousands in my head, and the bugs in the carpet.

exhausted

i thought of something better.

gtr ---> tuner mute ----> kill switch ----> effects ----> outputs.

that gives you trailing delays etc. if you use them.

Pacomc79

what is a trailing delay I'd like to try it out. my guess is delay rings after the mute?

Damn I hope I win that Black Box Quicksilver from Musictoyz.

yup.

Pacomc79

yup. still not as dumb as I look. I bet that is killer for solos. Now if I only had a reverb Microvibe and delay

exhausted

found the switch at radio shack so i can get it today. i'm *really* hoping this thing is ready to go soon.

if i actually go into business, i'll make sure i have a supply of parts on hand of course.

Pacomc79

take your time. No hurry. Genious takes time.

I say keep going , too exhausted. You've got some great ideas, and eventually something will stick!

I mean, look at that great inventor, Steve Martin , that invented the eyeglasses thingy. Just remember to get insurance!
