In the more-than-a-few years that I've checked out and considered a purchase from
Loop-Master, I've
never seen a "sale" or any type of discounted product... until Tuesday. Doing my monthly crawl around my usual purchasing sites I noticed that their
6-Loop &
8-Loop Effect Switcher Strips have been reduced in price from $145 to
$100 for the 6-Loop and $185 to
$139 for the 8-Loop. These are the standard Loop-Master high-quality built-to-order models
(Aluminum enclosure, 3PDT switches, 22 Gauge Silver Plated Military Spec. Wiring, Switchcraft jacks, choice of colors for your LEDs) and not some cut-rate versions.
Granted, these aren't the "Tuner Out/Master Bypass" versions, but at these substantial discounts (about 1/3rd on the 6-Loop and 1/4th on the 8-Loop) I'm sure workarounds can be found (actually, since I have several pedals that are high-quality true bypass that I won't be putting in the switcher and that I run my Tuner signal from the "Dry Out" on my E-H Micro Pog I personally have no need for the extra space/cost of the TO/MB versions or even the sale-priced 8-Loop model... also that the non-sale, TO/MB version of the 6-Loop jumps to
$185 and the 8-Loop to
215, not that it's not fair for a top-quality built-to-order product but when compared to the $100/$145 sale prices you wonder "How can I get around those two features?..."
) I've placed my order and am eagerly awaiting my 6-Loop Switcher, and though that my TalkBass brethren would like to know about this deal as well.
