I don't think it's particularly basic, it's very smart and an extremely elegant solution to your problem.

That's because I ooze elegance, haha
The wiring is easy though. Here is what I wnt to do once I get the panel mount din sockets.

Very nice! If I were gonna use pedals, I think I'd try to do something similar. It's really the type of thing amp makers should have started doing 20 years ago.

Very clever.

You sly ol' dog.

That's actually a very neat idea.

Thanks for the encouragement guys.
I played through it for about an hour today with no extra noise or any other other problems.

that's maybe something people would buy, i reckon.

fo' reals. one of the coolest, most useful ideas I've seen in a while.

I would be surprised if this hasn't been thought of brfore. Maybe I will look into it and see if this is something I should get a patent on. For now I am giong to pull the wiring diagram, but will still give it out if you pm me.

HH did, using a 7-pin DIN socket. They provided -45V on pin 3, +45V on pin 5 and signal input on pin 4. The VS/Reverb switch DIN socket provides +16V on pin 7 and +45V on pin 5.

They also did a range of pedals powered from it that slotted together to form a bar. No many around, I didn't bid on one last year but I should have. I did build an Electric Mistress clone that uses it, currently in pieces. I've also bought the bits to do a 9V power outlet from the switch box.

Basic stuff... yes. Impressive as hell.... YES!

thats epic

i don't think i would have ever came up with that idea in a million years

It's like the most basic snake ever created. I love it.

Thanks a lot guys.
After talking with a few friends that use pedals and reading the comments here, I might start making a few for sale. I have ideas for a few different versions that would accomidate most pedal set ups (I think).

The first thing I need to do is find a place to buy parts from that has decent prices.

Awesome. I think you'll do well on these Rod. I'm sure there are plenty of FX loop users that would be interested. You need to make yourself a website or something, or kick someone else until they do it. I seriously think it's a great thing.
