Switching multiple pedals on/off w/out Midi....

Anyone have any methods or devices they use for switching more than one pedal at a time?

 

I just switched from a midi based (Axess GRX4, Ground Control/GCX type of) loop switcher to a Loop Master (which I like a lot) with two buttons.

 

If you have to step on two buttons at a time, do you rely only on your foot or do you use something additional?

I think using TB loop pedals is about the only way to go if this is what you're trying. I've been kicking around the idea of using stereo patch cables for in/out on a loop and having you configure the order based on dip-switches, but I don't know that I want to invest all that time into it. :)

I am currently using a Carl Martin Combinator II and it works very well for me. I'd been searching for quite some time until I bought the Combinator and there were other options that seem to be very versatile (I found a combinator at a good price here in Germany on ebay so I went for that).

I would really love to try this one because it seems use less space on the board:

These italian guys build some very interesting stuff but they are quite expensive:

good luck for your search!

carl martin octaswitch lets you set what loop between 1 and 8 on each stomp

eg 1 is loop 1, 4, 7

2 is loop 2, 4


etc!

 

 

Yeah, I got the idea from seeing that, but I'd like to define the order too. I.e. switch 1 is loop 1 into loop 2, switch 2 is loop 2 into loop 1 into loop 3, etc.

I don't think that technology exists yet.

 

BTW Rivera has one out (similar to the Combinator) that looks fantastic.

RJM has one similar to the Switchblade.

LMAO
Yes!!

That is actually the spirit of this thread
an alternate way to switch them on an off.

For example: I am using a single coil pickup cover to bridge two buttons. Stepping on either side only affects one button but stepping in the middle affects them both.
