Magic Footswitch

[BeZo]

I'm going to make some pedals, since I can't find this anywhere. It isn't complicated, so it's weird that I can't find one. I want one footswitch to switch an amp and a true bypass loop at the same time. Basically, a box with 5 jacks, a footswitch, and two LEDs. I would add a phase toggle switch on the inside to toggle the footswitch on/off when the loop is activated. Done.

You can use the footswitch for your amp channel to go clean/dirty, and activate an effects loop on your board at the same time. This way, you can switch from clean to boosted lead channel with one little MXR sized enclosure. I'm going to buy the parts to build myself some (guitar rig and bass rig). If I made these things in larger quantities, would anyone buy these things?

I'm going to call it a "Magic Footswitch" and paint it with sparkle paint. It's going to be pretty.

I do those all the time. I would recommend using a buffer though. The klon buffer is a great one to use, there are plenty of schemes for it.

I have a dedicated buffer on my board already. I just want to add a Magic Footswitch button. So far, the hard part is finding a 4pdt switch in stock.

I use this one with my Recto, in the loop I have a boost and a noise gate, activated on the gain channel, of course.
