Switching on multiple pedals at once

[JBass1]

Hi,

I tried to do a search for this ("switch multiple pedals same time"/"pedals same time") but nothing came up so I apologize if it has been answered before.

Is there a pedal that allows me to trigger all my effects/some of my effects at the same time.

My effects are Octave > Fuzz > Filter + Exp. - is there a way to turn the octave and fuzz on and off together? Can this only be done by putting a true bypass in front of the envelope filter? Does anyone have experience with this?

Thanks

Search looper. Easy to diy as many loops as you want.

Great thanks, I'll check it out. I knew there had to be a term

Also give a try to "blender", as it is the term used by some pedals, such as Wounded Paw's Super and Ultra blender pedals. I for one happily use the Boss LS-2.

The term 'bypass looper' might narrow it down. 'Looper' by itself will also bring up a bunch of phrase looper threads and topics.

Radial Tonebone - Using the Bassbone

I'm using this. It has an effects loop on it that will allow you to turn on and off multiple pedals at once. It also has a boost so you can add some gain when kicking on an effect.

EDIT: I don't think this will solve your issue after re-reading your original post. But you may find it useful either way.

And Road Rage has caught my eye for thee fancy looking enclosures:

They have kits too. Both of these links have tiny enclosures as well! Save that space.

You plug the "send" jack of the bypass looper into the "in" of the first pedal in the loop, and the "out" of the last pedal in to the "return" jack. Turn all the pedals in the loop ON and voila! One baby-sized switcher to turn them all on and off.

I use a true bypass looper as mentioned above. Whatever effects I want to turn on at the same time I put in the same loop. It works very well and it's pretty simple.

thanks for your input everyone. I am looking for something to let me keep all my pedals switched on, and at the hit of another switch, activate certain combinations of those pedals (or turn them all off). Are there any devices that do this? Kind of like a 'pedal pre-set' switch that I can go from sing pedals 1 and 3 to pedals 2 and 3, to all pedals, to no pedals, etc...

also please be aware I'm in Singapore so supplies are limited (though I've actually found a wide variety of pedals here).

Yeah...a Ground Control switching system, or a completely custom job (Bradshaw for example). Either option is not cheap.

The true bypass loop option is very simple and inexpensive, but does not offer complex switching options. Lets say you have a single loop pedal. You would have all of your pedals in this loop. When the loop is turned on, anything in it that is also on will be turned on. Think of it as a master on/off bypass.

Then you would simply turn on the combination of pedals you want and hit the switch.

You can also get multiple loops, so you can have certain pedals together.

It's a slippery slope, though, so also be forewarned!

I use the Pro-14 for my main guitar board, and it's a game-changer in terms of customizable, high fidelity combinations.
