It's a lot of jacks! Definitely a challenge planning it all out and getting it sorted, but hopefully this should allow him to get his Effects setup working as he wants in his band.

Foogin' great Mike, I tell you my foot switch you made for me has been the most clicked on pedal of all... functions so well !!

on a different note, can you do W@mpler peds ?

Glad to hear it buddy, that was another fun one.

As for the W@mpler stuff, I'm afraid not - his prices aren't too bad either and it's nice to support the little guys like him. He does good stuff - some of it is based on the old Marshall Guv'nor with tweaks and boosts

just out of curiosity how much for a clone of a fulltone ultimate octave pedal? Ive been looking into them and I want one really badly.

The Ultimate Octave is just a Foxx Tone Machine with a tone switch, I believe last time I made one - for Astro I believe, it was something like £85.

Fulltone makes some good stuff that's pretty affordable as well but in my experience they don't give dick about their customers. Likely because they move $80,000 worth of pedals a week.
Such isn't the case with you, Mike, you really care about his customers and seems to love what you do and for that I respect you.
After watching a bandmate try and deal with fulltone and seeing how they treated him as a customers I had no problem asking you for an OCD.

Hey Mike, the 2 custom true bypass loopers you posted pictures for on here are for me - i'm masquerading on here under an assumed name. Looking forward to them arriving and getting fitted onto my pedal board!

Tim's right about there being a load of switches and LED's but it's pretty easy to work out how they all operate. I've got a similar box that I got from Loopmaster but I wanted something similar that I could adjust the volume on the bypass channel on one of the boxes, Mike came up with the idea of sticking one of his Saltbooster circuits in there.

Good to see you on here Mark, I'll get these into the mail for you 1st class recorded today.

It's only natural that these switchers seem complex in isolation from the Effects they're going to control. The Amp/Switcher I made for Owen makes no sense at all until it's connected to his Classic 30 with an OCD in the loop.

Do foxx tone machines have the octave on switch? Because that really is like the deal maker for me. Ill let you know about one.

When I make those pedals I make them with an Octave on/off footswitch and an overall Bypass Footswitch.

Yeah yeah, switchable octave is a big thing for me, sounds like everything ive ever wanted. No knob turning mid show!! Ill let you know about making one sometime.

Here's the video I made, I remember I did one.

mike, i'm loving that first bypass loop thing you've made for mark. how much would one of those set me back. thinking of getting one for switching between a clean effected sound in one loop and my drive sounds in the other.

The more complicated one with the tuner out and the Saltbooster in the bypass path was £55.

The straight just dual loop with bypass and an A/B select was £45.

straight dual with the select and bypass. defo want one, mike. is the waiting list around 6-7 weeks?

I've been working pretty hard to get it cleared so now I have 8 pedals on my list. 4 with cases finished and ready to go. I would say 4-6 weeks currently.

that's fine mike, but definitely put me down for one. got an idea for the colour and shizzle too.

on a side note, the saltbreaker as really good, great for rhythm work. wiring it on the board just now.

Lovely stuff, glad you like it.

I'll add you to my list. Let me know when you have colour and LED info and all that jazz.

Best I order some more jacks!

it's not mega exciting. just white with the black MBM face and boarder. like reece's dls/matt's breaker booster.

blue LED for Bypass and that bright saltbreaker green led for loop two and some equally bright led for loop one. with the LEDs label for Clean (Loop One), Drive (Loop Two) and Bypass. With the LEDs for drive and clean being more in the middle-ish.

That sound doable?

Should be.

You want the LEDs for the loops below and in between the Send and Return Jacks for that loop?

you can see from the gut shots where I can and cannot place them.
