thisnameistaken Posted July 18, 2010 Posted July 18, 2010 (edited) I've tried to make this happen in the past by speaking to pedal builders individually, and failed. I need a utility pedal making up to replace my Boss LS-2 and I would like to hear from anyone who thinks they can do it. I need: A 2-channel mixer with send/returns like the Boss LS-2, but with more independent footswitching than the LS-2 offers: Input from instrument to 2 loop sends. 2 loop returns with an active volume control on each with 6db-ish boost available. Mono output. Each loop can be enabled/disabled. If both loops are disabled the input is buffered straight to the output. Three stomp switches: [list] [*]Two for enable/bypass the two loops. [*]Third footswitch reverses the state of the other two, so if loop #1 is in and loop #2 is out, stomping switch #3 brings loop #2 in and loop #1 out. [*]Similarly if both loops are active, stomp #3 would bypass both, and vice versa. [/list] Switching must be noiseless, like the Boss LS-2. No loud pops. Output is always buffered even when both loops are bypassed - this pedal will always be in my signal chain so I would like a quality buffer in there to keep my signal in good shape. NOT true-bypass. Ideally I'd like this pedal in a Sansamp-sized enclosure, laid out like this: -[]-[]=[]-[]- |x p -- p x|= |1 ------- 2| |___3___|= Where: [] is a loop send/return jack = is IN or OUT jack, or PWR for LEDs p is a volume knob 1/2/3 is a footswitch x is an LED showing the state of each loop (different colours please!) - is just to stop the forum collapsing whitespace! I don't really want to see any of our resident builders battle it out in here price-wise so anybody who is confident of achieving this please PM me with a price if you're up for it. I either want a pedal that does what I need or an understanding of why it's too expensive to be practical, either resolution will be satisfactory! - Kev Edited July 18, 2010 by thisnameistaken Quote
