Parallel true bypass loops

[Happynoj]

I have been planning my board for a while, and the latest plan I have come up with requires parallel processing. My first thought for this was mini mixers, however, after some further thought and discussion (thanks Sean!) I have decided that I want stomp switches for each channel.

What I want is a 4-loop bypass pedal with a volume control for each loop, but I want the loops to be parallel, not series, so all of the loops need to be buffered. It would effectively be a splitter and mixer all in one box.

Are there any pedals on the market that do this? Are there any companies that would build this for me? Could I build this myself at home? If so, where can I find schematics for this type of device?

Barge will probably build one for you.

i'd also like a good schem site for a multi-loop stomp box like mr. happy is asking about, or at least a good splitter.

Two Boss LS-2's? I don't think it's exactly what you're after though.

I'm pretty sure that Wounded Paw could also do a custom job on their mixer (correct me if I'm wrong, WP). It's what I'm going to ask him to do for me.

Oh, and *curtsies* you're welcome.

I'm not sure the Wounded Paw one I saw around here was buffered, I think it was just a passive splitter/mixer. Also, there is someone around here who got a custom boutique style LS-2 made up by some guy on eBay...

 

[FreaqyFrequency]

Both the splitter and mixer are fully buffered.

Can't say much on the forum about it but custom work is cool with me.

You have a PM, sir.

 

[Happynoj]

Well, this is looking fairly positive. Thanks for your help everyone!

PM sent...

You have a PM, sir.

I assume that you are now after the same device as me? We can be pedal twins!

Indeed. All twins are equal, but some are more equal than others.

Yeah, well it was my idea so I'm the one that's more equal

I got a dual parallel looper similar to this from the builder in that link. I don't know if he would build you something in 3 or 4 loops, but it wouldn't hurt to contact him. My whole sound is built on this thing. Being able to go HOG in parallel with a BMS is a fantastic thing. If you can ignore my awful vocals (I've gotta recut that sometime to remove those ) the rest of this ditty is one continuous track with my HOG -> G2.1u in parallel with my BMS. It starts getting interesting around the 1:40 mark.
