Sign in to disble this ad
Sorry for the ignorant question. I've searched but I'm haveing trouble finding an answer.
Is there a cheap, simple way/pedal to bypass my effects pedals so I have a direct line to the amp and then switch to the effects when I need to? My amp does not have an effects loop.
Thanks!

or just build it your self. pretty simple |

Sorry if this seems stupid, I think I'm getting it now. I'm intrigued about making my own. Are there "plans" for one online anywhere?
Thanks for the help.

Loop-Master is the cheapest builder of loop pedals out there, and they're pretty flexible on custom stuff, too! Plus, the quality is great. I used to own one of their loop pedals. 
Other brands like Lehle and WOBO exist as well, but they specialize in the more unusual types of loop pedals - stuff that Loop-Master can't build.

| | | I have Mysticboo's old Loopmaster pedal and it works very well. Much better then the Radial Bigshot I spent $80 on. The Radial switches go dead intermittantly and either my whole signal disappears or my sound suddenly goes all distorted.
I am looking to get a Loopmaster multi loop pedal with a master bypass and tuner/mute. The cool LED color choices are pretty sweet.

Loopmaster's boxes look cool, but from what I can see they lack the option of having a "blend" control. |

I've been clicking on links like crazy. there's so much cool stuff out there. |

Could I set this pedal up as a bypass switch for my entire effects pedal board. I want to have the option of going clean and straight into the amp or running thru the entire series of pedals.
I know I can get it with the loopmaster double loop effect switcher but I dont thiink i need 2 loops.
