effects blend expession pedal?

Sign in to disble this ad
Ok, So I'm wanting a pedal, that I'm not sure exists....

I want it in expression pedal format, Toe down 100% one effect,heel down 100% another. In between will obviously be a mix/blend.It will have to have some sort of bypass switch. Am I looking custom?

I guess you'd need two effects loops. One for each effect. Is there anything out there? Have I confused you all?

Combine the Morley with a TBP pedal and I think you've got it.

Bass> TBP Send> Effect A> Morley Send > Effect 2> MReturn >TBP Return > amp

Oh, craptastic, foiled again.

Yes, I'm stupid. Carry on.

I used to have a panner pedal made by Rolls that if you combined with a blender or mixer could probably do what your looking for. The Rolls sucked in many ways and eventually broke, but a panner pedal may do the job. They can have a very short usable travel so watch for that. So then:

Bass > LS-2 > Send A > Panner > Pan A > LS-2 Return A.
Pan B > LS-2 Return B > Amp.

That's closer I think.

Here's one

What he's saying is you build one big loop. True Bypass Pedal (Effect 1 --> Morley Blend Pedal [Effect 2]). That way, you switch on the whole loop, then can blend between Effect 1 and Effect 2.

Yeah, but I butchered it because it's either 100% Effect 1 or 50/50 1 and 2 when finished.

According to the link, heel down is 100% dry, toe down is full (100%) wet. Though, admittedly, 100% wet would still be fed by the other effect. I have to say, this doesn't sound like it'd be that hard to build. OP, you may want to contact some pedal builders, see if they'll make something like this for you. If you are willing to have a box and an external expression pedal, and don't mind waiting, I'd bet the aforementioned Barge Concepts could/would do it.

Yeah, but in my haste, I didn't realize that 100% dry = 100% effect one in my setup.

Uh, guys... whoever mentioned Morley seemed to have forgotten THIS:

http://www.morleypedals.com/dfxb.html

The Morley FX Blender. And yes, it's been mentioned here before.

However, it does not have a bypass switch. I would suggest putting the Morley in a simple bypass loop pedal for that.

The Barge Concepts VFB-X has a different "problem." You have to provide your own expression pedal for on-the-fly adjustments. But it does have the bypass and blend circuit!

Here's my warning to you, though: The problem with ALL of these sorts of units is that you'll have to deal with volume change issues as you change the wet/dry mix...
