Effects Loop question

[moonstone]

I would like to put something in my effects loop to act as a solo volume boost. Problem is the loop dosn't have a footswitch to turn the loop on/off. I really don't want to add 20 feet of cable to my signal path just for the ability to control the ON/OFF via the effect. Anyone know of a way around this?

EDIT: Oh try an EQ in the loop with the level turned down just a little and the mids cut just a hair. Leave it on all the time and when you go to take a lead switch it out.

Just what I was looking for

I just use a volume pedal. The effects loop is low impedance, so added cable is of no practical consequence.

That is a cool unit. I'm sure I could find a use for one...

That looks pretty cool...

A lot of amps dont have an on/off footswitch for the loop.

Because the pedals that go in there tend to.

I don't even see where there is an issue here??

 

 

Aaaannnnnndddddd

 

I have just re-read the OP.

 

 

That device seems like a winner.

 

Although I don't notice any tone suckage with my loops. A good loop and good cables are your friend.

Another option would be (if your handy with a soldering iron), buy a boost pedal, preferably one with a mechanical on/off foot switch (as opposed to the Boss type), remove the foot switch and mount it in a small enclose. Buy 20 feet of 2 conductor wire, connect the remote foot switch back to the effect which is now sitting on top of your amp connected with short cables. Get the idea?

This is also a {censored}ing great idea.

Yeah, there are a few footswitchable pedals out there like the one above. Any of them would probably work
