Custom effects loop switch builders?

Sign in to disble this ad
So after reevaluating my board I've determined that I need an effects loop to actually make using a bunch of junk at once practical. I was wondering what pedal makers out there do effects loops and have a reasonably short build time? I'm looking at something like the Loop-Master 1-Loop Micro Effect Switcher (LED Version) but with all in's and out's to the right of the LED.

Here's the Loop-Master:



I've got nothing against Loop-Master but I'd rather not wait 8-12 weeks for a pedal. If there are DIY kits for something like this, I'd be interested as well.

DIY is super easy for switchers. Check out diystompboxes, geofex, and other diy pedal sites for plenty of schematics and instructions.

For pre-built, check out "this1smyne".

I feel like I keep telling you to DIY . But since Bongo suggested it...


Does this seem too complex? I´m sure General Guitar Gadgets sell a kit for this.
EDIT: Yup, here it is.

Beat me to it. As soon as I figure out what it is I need, exactly, I'm buying from him.

Ordered the same switcher as pictured by the OP.

Took 2 weeks for them to tell me it is getting made, but it's OK, I don't need it soon and I was aware of their waiting time...

BTW, the diagram that DannDubblewe posted looks great! I'm copying it and maybe I'll get a few metal boxes and make me some more loop switchers!

I am starting my 9th week waiting for this pedal too... at least it is cheap if I ever get it!
