A/B Loop Switcher
I started working on my super-duper Master Looper pedal but had to set it aside temporarily lest I go mad. But, I had a gig coming up. I threw together this little guy the night before. I suppose I'll decorate it someday. It was a temporary solution and it stayed that way.
It switches between two different effects loops.
I used a CR2032 coin battery inside for the LEDs so I wouldn't have to use another power extension from the pedal board. The switcher will work without any power, but it's easier to use with the LEDs activated.
I designed a redundancy to activate the LEDs so it wouldn't get activated by accident and run out the battery. Both of the following conditions must be true.
- The toggle must be on. This way you can switch it off if you leave your pedals plugged in when not in use.
- A pedal must be plugged into the main input. This way if you have it in a bag, it's ok if the toggle gets flipped accidentally.
