Non-latching Mute Pedal

[Deunoro Jomo]

I have been looking for a non-latching mute pedal. However, I guess what I'm looking for is a pedal that is muted UNTIL the switch is pressed. Specifically, I am trying to hook my bypass out of my TU-2 to my Line 6 DL-4, while the rest of my effects run through the main tuner out. The idea is that, when I step on the switch, I can connect the signal between input and output only as long as my foot is pressing the switch. This way the pedal will only be UNmuted when I step on it.

Does such a thing exist?

Not that I've heard of, but it can be easily made. You just need some jacks and a normally off momentary switch, if I understand your question correctly.

Essentially you want a momentary looper pedal.

If it doesn't, it should. That's a really good idea. Like if you want to let an effect pass through at certain times only for brief passages, and not have to step on it more than once...way too tweakey for my tastes, but I could see a use for it.

And, I think it should be set to be reversible as well. That could make for some really interesting killswitch-style rhythms.

Reversable as in normally closed in stead of open? That would be pretty cool actually

kinda like the idea on the BF-3 where you can have a 'momentary' effect when u step on it if its on that setting,... only thing is I have no idea how that all works so im no help sorry!

If you have any soldering experience at all, this would be a very easy build. I can't imagine the parts costing more than $20, including the enclosure for it.

I actually added a momentary switch to my GBE600 footswitch that switches to the tube channel when it is pressed down! This way I can have it nice and clean then press it down for little fills and such!
