Is this at all possible ?

Some come kind of foot switch/contraption to separate the dirty amp channel / ocd pedal (i.e. to cancel one another out) ? and also flick back to clean when desired.

Sorry this is worded badly but its hard for me to explain what I'm after.

any advice would be appreciated

cheers

It's tricky. You could do this.

Box with two switches:

1- flips amp channel - could have an LED on it.
2- turns on a loop with OCD in it, and changes the amp state to clean, but would have no space for an LED unless using an expensive 4PDT.

Basically with the OCD loop on you can use the other switch to define the state of the amp when you come out of OCD on->amp clean mode. so you could come back to clean or come back to amp dirt channel.

I think I'm sorta with you, although not to sure how the ocd would come onto play...

Would you be able to build such a thing or even want to ?

The OCD would come into play because it would be always on in a true bypass loop. The second switch will switch the loop in and out while also pushing the amp onto the clean channel.

Yes I could build one.

Haha, so confused. What is it you're after, just out of interest?

He wants to be able to switch between all these three things instantly.

1. Clean amp
2. Amp dirt
3. Clean amp + OCD

So I propose building the amp channel switcher and a TB loop for the OCD into the same pedal. Leave OCD on.

Switch channels with left switch, with the option of switching to OCD+Clean channel in one button push on the right switch.

Want to go back to clean, just push it again with the left switch in clean mode.
Want to go back to amp dirt, push it again with the left switch in dirty mode.

from what i can tell, two footswitches.

footswitch 1: guitar > dirty amp/guitar > ocd > clean amp.
footswitch 2: turns off footswtch 1 so just guitar > clean amp.

amirite?
