Dual Looper w/reverse order

Sign in to disble this ad
Due to Holiday stress, too many 'projects' going on in my mind, the ability to sometimes miss the obvious and a general lack of sleep, I'm stuck on what's probably a very simple question

I have a bypass pedal with 2 loops, each with an on/off. I want to re-house it (probably, due to needing extra parts and small current enclosure size) and add an order reverse switch. I've seen the Beavisaudio diagram and after way too much thought, I've hit a brick wall. It doesn't show where you would place the reverse switch if using on/off stomps for each loop.

Should I put the reverse switch in-line with in/out jacks and have the separate loop on/off switches between the reverse switch and the loop jacks
--OR--
Should I put the separate loop on/off switches in-line with in/out jacks and have the reverse switch between the on/off switches and the loop jacks.

I'm thinking the first but meh *shoulder shrug*, I could be wrong.

Thanks in advance.

I have one like this, but mine only has footswitches for the two TB loops - the switch to change the order of the loops is only a simple switch in the toe of the pedal;


Made for me by Michael @ MC-FX

After using this pedal for the last few years - with many different effects - I honestly don't think having the reverse switch as a footswitch is needed.
I mainly use the reverse when experimenting\trying new pedal combinations while laying out a pedalboard. Pedals with a clean blend can be pretty cool for "reversing"
For live work I DO change the phaser before and after the wah for a variation on sounds (whilst hammering the amp with fuzz feedback) but other than that, I haven't found much need for it live.

Inside looks like this - does this help?

That's perfect. Almost exactly what I'm working with (minus the reverse).

BTW, the black wire on the reverse switch, does it run from one 'end' lug to the other 'end' lug? Can't really tell>

Thanks alot. That smaller switch, while not as 'exciting' as adding another stomp/LED, would work in the existing enclosure, interesting...
