Yo!

I'm pretty familiar with all the programmable loop switchers out there, but I don't believe I've ever seen this one. It was posted on LavaCable's FB.

Thanks!

All those buttons and jacks yet you cannot rearrange the pedal order electronically through programming?

You can't change the pedal sequence on just about any foot or rack loop switcher. The only one I can think of that can is the Sound Sculpture Switchblade, which is pretty old technology at this point. There should be more switchers that do this by now.

I thought you could with the PEAK PGR4 but it doesn't look like that lets you change FX orders either.

All they need to do is implement are some programmable internal mixers then you could change FX order and even run them parallel or serial and mix internally. That'd be badass!

I use the Moen GEC,

Its a pretty solid switcher and the best value for money on the market for a 9 loop programmable.

The only issue might be that you will need to use the lava mini cable kit with straight ends (or similar alternative) to get the cables to fit into the jacks on the back of the Moen. It is very cramped for space due to the closes of the jacks to each other, however this keeps the size down. Also it needs about 250-350mV which may be an issue depending on your power supply.

You can also switch amps and/or run into effects loops with loops 7-9 as they are on separate loops.

Hope this helps

Two questions

1) What is that magnificent looking orange pedal with all those knoooooooobs :eek:?!

2) What advantages does a programmable looper have over a normal analog one?

1. Blackout Effectors Twosome (dual fuzz)

2. You can combine any combination of loops into presets, and you usually have 128 available presets. One button press can turn on 8 effects- saves on a lot of stomping.

I have the Moen GEC438 on my board. I velcroed it onto 20mm thick wood spacer (cut old bed slat) each end which I then velcroed to the pedalboard using velcro mat and velcro hooks on pedal . The spacing now allows you to use right angled jacks into the Moen. (I use a mixture of right and straight) You could use 1 piece the length of the unit for more stability but 2 pieces each end allows you to run cables underneath and it doesn't move being velcroed down onto pedal board. I will try to upload some pics later

I did the same thing with my Musicomlab EFX switcher when I had it so I could use right-angle plugs with it.
