Guest Jecklin Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 I thought I'd ask the pedal experts on here. I could wire up something myself, but wondered what is available ready to go. This is my situation: I run a loop pedal to replay sections of music I play on an acoustic instrument. The looped section comes out of an an amplifier, but no overdubbed sounds - these are played live acoustically. The Instrument is not amplified either. At the moment I have my amp on mute while I am playing/recording the section to loop and then turn my preamp off and unmaute the amp when it's time for playback. this works fine, but the new piece I'm working on needs a smoother transition than using my hands allow, therefor pedals! So I need two on/off or A/B pedals (I'd just have the B channel going nowhere) or mute pedals if such a thing exists. I need these to be small items Ideally and with quiet physical ection and silent electronic action. Can anyone shed some light on what is available please? Also cost is a factor. Cheers Thomas Quote
Roland Rock Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 (edited) One of these should do the job, and note "silent switching" option https://www.vein-tap.com/product-category/true-bypass-loopers/?utm_source=Vein-Tap.com+Newsletter&utm_campaign=bf3207bcc6-Clickless_True_Bypass8_5_2015&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_9f7cb15e72-bf3207bcc6-105502853&mc_cid=bf3207bcc6&mc_eid=84fef6d8de Edited August 7, 2015 by Roland Rock Quote
Guest Jecklin Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 Thank you so much Roland Rock I see Vein Tap also does a cool kill switch too! Quote
ProfFrink Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 There's a bunch of manufacturers who do all kinds of loopers (not in the play-replay sense but in the loop-in-the-signal-chain sense) and switchers. Most/all of them will have kill switches or A/B switchers, with various features: loop-master.com American Loopers GigRig Bright Onion pedals One control decibel11 Boss (obviously) Sound Sculpture Switchblade Carl-Martin Octa-Switch Moen Swift Pedals this1smyne Wee Lush Quote
