Truebypass loop pedal

#3
If you want to save cash, build your own. This is about the easiest router you could set out to build. A small Hammond box, four jacks, and a foot switch. I hate to leave a cocky 'build your own' response but you did mention no (little) money.

Btw, the LS-2 is not true bypass; it is buffered in all states.

Definitely worth the time/effort to build your own. It's very simple and a GREAT learning experience. I seem to recall a great page on FullTone's site, but can't find it. In my search, I DID come across this, which is fantastic!

Bingo. OP, there you go. The bean dip can is brilliant. :)

Not the typical loop switch, but common. You can order them that way, or make it that way yourself with your bean dip can. You just use a latching footswitch instead of a standard on/off switch.

This doesn't have the loop, but I know JHS makes a tiny killswitch using one of these type switches, and it's sometimes billed as a "manual tremolo", which I think is funny.

The bean can was the first thing I thought of! StewMac is good like that. But unless you already have some parts laying around, buying one from the companies already mentioned would probably come out cheaper than a true bypass switch, four quality jacks and some wire...assuming you have solder stuff already, too.

I like the DIY idea, but 2 problems. i have to buy a lot of stuff... i don't have any of the tools. also I'm afraid that i would mess it up and it ending up with a looper that kills my tone :S



but i really like the ones you've posted! the saturn pedals are really cool! ill just need to find the cheapest, because as you said, they aloe do the same ;)

I can't help but think that BYOC or someone similar would offer a kit for this very thing.

I have an LS-2 and while they may not be free they are a great pedal and after a tuner and a good cable would be what I would recommend.

But not free.
