Rack mounted looping & switching configs? tap dance avoidance...

[Andy Damerum]

HI,

Is there any advice out there on how I may be able to put my array of pedals in a rack drawer and then have a programmable looping device in the rack with a remote switch out front on stage?

The Boss ES5 or 8 which I was advised to look at would require all the cables from the pedals trailing all over the place.

I'm sure this has been discussed but cant find any specific threads as yet....

Thanks,

 

Andy

How many pedals do you have? Morningstar MC6 or 8 with an ML5 would work. ML5 and all pedals in the rack, then a single midi cable out to your playing position with the MC6 or 8.

12 pedals in total but two of those are the Boss tuner and Line selector pedals.

Thanks for the advice, I'll have a look at the Morningstar kit

The ML5 only has 5 loops, so depends whether you need individual control of all the pedals. It looks to me as if MIDI is the way to go for your setup.
