Hi guys, I'm looking to take my pedal board to the next level with adding a few purchases..
I'm thinking of buying this.... Pedal train board with a Voodoo Lab pedal power 2 .. & This Looper Footswitch as i'm fed up of missing pedal changes or worrying about missing pedal changes instead of enjoying my playing.. http://buzzelectronics.co.uk/index.php?rou...;product_id=100 That's the link to the official site.. does anyone have any issues with either of these? more specifically the looper, what is your experience with using a looper? does anyone have information on how my tuner would work with that looper because that looper doesn't have a seperate channel for 'tuner' like some others have..

Though the Joyo and other dig switchers like it do have 'more' features, the OP mentioned Buzzelectronic's unit can be set to engage various groupings of pedals.
From the web site: "All 6 Switches can be programmed to engage any combination of the 6 loops (up to 6 pedals can be engaged at once). Plug your chosen effect pedals into the SEND and RECEIVE sockets, then engage or disengage them using the footswitches. When one of the loops is 'off', your guitar sound is routed directly to your amp. When it is 'on', your signal is routed through the effects pedals. Silent Switches For example Switch 1 could be programmed to activate Loops 1, 3 & 4. Switch 2 could be programmed to activate Loops 2,3,5,& 6. Switch 3 could be programmed to activate Loops 5. Switch 4 could be programmed to activate Loops 1,2,3,4,5 & 6 etc.... Programming Hold down the footswitch that you would like to program for 2-3 seconds and release. Press the Loops that you would like to be activated by the switch you're programming (The LEDs will indicate the pedals that you've selected). Re-hold the initial footswitch for 3 seconds to finish. This can be repeated for the 5 remaining footswitches. Programmable vs On/Off Mode Each switch can either be set to Programmable or On/Off mode. In programmable mode, the previously active switches disengage when a new switch is pressed. In On/Off mode, the previously active switches stay on when a new switch is pressed, allowing you to add to existing effects. To toggle between Programmable and On/Off mode, hold your chosen switch down for 5+ seconds. The switch will flash fast for 3 seconds. You can mix and match between Programmable and On/Off modes. So for example: you could have 3 switches set to Programmable and 5 switches set to On/Off mode. Master Bypass Re-press the active switch to bypass all loops (In programmable mode)" *I too think the chromed box looks pretty rad!

The only reason I even looked into it was because the price was relatively high for a sheet metal box with only jacks and switches - which is what it looks like. But it apparently has more going on under the hood.

Interesting topic. I'm currently using pedals but I'm not using any looper to program different combinations by now. I have not experience with them but maybe it can be a good addition for the future.
My pedalboard is quite simple nowadays:

QUOTE (Im here to succeed @ Aug 16 2014, 01:10 AM)  Yeah it is a programmable looper.. i wouldn't really see the point in buying a looper that wasnt programmable, seems like a bit of a waste of time... but i know this programmable looper will be a great buy, gives you the confidence to 'stay in the moment' when playing and not worrying about having to make 3 pedal changes for the chorus etc... What kind of tuner do you use? If it is a pedal tuner, some allow for "mute everything" function on their own. You could just engage it via looper to send signal to only that pedal (and pedal will cut the signal not to pass any further). -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net

QUOTE (Im here to succeed @ Aug 24 2014, 10:32 PM) So i have added my pedal board, mxr dyna comp & T rex twister 2... i'm waiting on my programmable looper and my power supply.. quick question, my chorus/flanger pedal is a stereo with a left and right out, which do i use when connecting my pedals? Usually a left out is also labeled as mono so you could use to to patch towards other pedals. Stereo pedals if I'm not mistaken are used when connecting to two amplifiers or mixing board when recording so you have both left and right channels separately to form a stereo picture. -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net

Left mono is the industry standard - try that first.
