Pedal Board Looper Advice/Help

[Frankenwill]

I am looking for a solution to a relatively common problem I believe (but no luck so far). My pedalboard is filled with various pedals: fuzz, overdrive, octave, compressor, tuner, volume pedal, envelope, etc. What I am looking for is a simple looper to serve as a channel switcher. Basically I want a pedal that when I hit channel A for example, it will utilize my compressor and my clean signal. When I switch to channel B, it will activate my dirty channel (that I can have whichever dirt pedals activated ahead of time). I have found looping pedals, but most of these can have more than one channel on at a time. I want to hit one pedal to switch from clean +compressor to dirt without compression. What am I looking for? Thanks talkbassers!

Until I find another one, the Boss LS-2 and Badger Schism both allow you to switch between two channels, and even blend them together.

I think this is what you want:

I use this in the 4 channel Bigfoot version.

This is a great and not so expensive one (compared to the Carl martin Octa-Switch, at least).

I did think of Buzz Electronics but since they're in the UK maybe the OP didn't want that.

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed] stuff looks great. Plus you get some more options on certain channels to add an additional effect to what you are blending in.

The buzz electronics programmable stuff sounds very enticing. They also have a two channel switch like I was looking for, but now you guys have me gassing for programmable looping action. The only other thing I can think of that would make that pedal better is if you were able to have a main volume control knob for each channel. So when you engage your fuzz channel for example, you can adjust the volume as desired (boost or unity). Some of the other mentioned pedals have this, but the programmable nature of the buzz electronics as well as its price tag is pretty killer...

For likely the smallest option, I'd go for the GNI LS-1 Pathfinder.

I take it back, that buzz eight looper is way cooler, and cheaper.

I recently got one of David Boggs 2 looper with tuner mute pedals. It works great, very clean. He can do many other configurations, with and without the tuner mute, different colors, etc. David was nice to deal with and I received the pedal in less than 2 weeks from the time I placed the order.
