    ok guys.

    next thing coming out of my head is a two loop selector/shuffler.


    you get.

    A then B series
    B then A series
    A/B parallel with a blend pot

    two stomps, one knob and two toggles.

    what does it allow me to do? give me an example
    My Girlfriend said to me..."How many guitars do you need?" and I replied...."How many pairs of shoes do you need?" She got really quiet.

    series swapping. the aforementioned delay (or way or phaser or whatever) before distortion vs. distortion before delay.

    parallel blending - good for blending two in different modulation effects together different portions. or blending in any amount of fuzz to a clean signal.

    stomps allow you to turn either loop on or off.

    ok I get it without having to change the arrangement of cables to the pedals. I wonder if you could make a kill switch for like the DD-6 or 5 that would kill the dry signal for the reverse delay making it all reverse maybe the blend pot would do that huh?

    the stomps could be the kill.

    I think the DD-6 doesn't include the dry signal in reverse. That was one of the things I didn't like about the DD-5 when I had it. Analog Man does a mod for the DD-5 that fixes that

    I'm considering the OC 44 equipped Java Boost but that runs 225 as does the incomprable Keeley Comp I want so much to try, I wish my Dyna Comp didn't buzz but the Analog man mod is 85 bucks+ shipping and then David Barber has this new Tone Press with the Blend knob to keep the comp from killing your attack while still giving a nice squeeze and its 130 so well I need to sell some pedals I guess.

    Oh it's all so complicated. Maybe I'll just hire a live actor to yell the hindenburg part into the mike when I fuck up!

    You should see my rig set up lately. Maybe my brain is getting smaller!

    Here is the signal chain: Fingers, Electric guitar, cord, Fender Deluxe "65 .
    Once I get My "GCP original", I'll add : Cord, 1 watt Martone amp.
    I may add to that,,,,go go dancers. I think I might actually be going to Cuba soon. Everyone dances down there!. I'll take my new a-b-tuner box.
    You need a cool name for the new switcher. ( Maybe there already is one, I just missed it in the flurry of electronic talk!)
    How,,,,,did I GET here?!

    i'm making channel switching pedals. these three are testing the prototypes.

    see this for some information.

    if they work well, i may start selling them.

    I am on "rest the back" breaktime now, almost finished re-raftering and plywood on a new roof structure. Supposed to rain later today, so the push is on.
    It was weird the other day, standing in my living room with a chainsaw cutting branches off the couch!

    in other GCP news, i'm going to make 1 and 2 loop bypass boxes too i think.

    i think i'm going to concentrate on making nifty utility pedals that are cheaper than the other stuff out there.


    You are signing these things aren't you. Cause if you get famous, damn it I want my monies worth on e-bay.
    SIN EATERS--We take the moral excrement we find in this equation and we bury it down deep inside of us so that the rest of our case can stay pure. That is the job. We are morally indefensible and absolutely necessary.

    well, i signed, numbers and dated them. the numbers are mostly so i can track which one is which if there's a problem with them.

    ok, final concept for loop shuffler has

    2 stomps
    2 toggle
    2 knobs
    2 LEDs

    1590BB sized (landscape orientation)

    6 I/O: main in/out, loop A send/return, loop B send/return.

    controls.
    stomps turn each loop on/off. LED indication for ON.
    first toggle chooses between series or parallel loop arrangement.
    second toggle, when in series mode, flips the order of the loops. position one is loop A then loop B. position two is loop B then loop A.
    one volume cut for each loop. not useful in series mode (so turn it all the way up in this mode) but in parallel mode, will allow for mixing the two loops in any proportion. i will use 1meg pots to avoid as much high frequency loss as possible.
