Post your pedal ideas

Sure, but a) I’m a control freak and b) do I think that anything that makes a beat should be settable at an exakt tempo. Might not be an issue for most people

no I get that :+1:

This would be a dealbreaker for me. ofc I would just get a drum machine instead, which is also not for everyone.

here’s one of those pedals that sounds beautiful and looks to be impeccably engineered but I just can’t see it being used in any kind of meaningful way on a bass (unless you were soloing? maybe?). and I love reverb on bass. really cool though.

Done and even works as intended

It’s really a great starter project

@Fabianus can you spell out how this fits in the signal chain?

@g13dip thanks, it’s my first one – wasn’t expecting it to work on first try :crossed_fingers:

@eric.kiser sure, here is my setup and how the switcher works in it:

This is a great idea!!! Now I want to build one

Yep. Me too. This really fits the test bed way that I use my pedals.

@Fabianus how much was the kit and where did you get it?

@Reasonably_Happy Since you’ve worked with a few different loop switching pedals, can you take a look at how this pedal works? I’ve never seen anything like this. Is there anything out there that works this way?

Got it from Musikding in Germany: The Changer, 15,00 €, 15 Eur bare or 25 with pre-drilled box

I have not seen that many expander pedals around, so I was intrigued when I stumbled across the EH steel leather pedal…it is discontinued but I managed to find one on reverb

It was like the missing piece in my pedal chain that I didn’t know was missing…it makes my old ‘angry P’ tone (which I thought was great) sound like ‘mildly annoyed P’ in comparison…I am very happy with this pedal

been a few since jhs has put out a video this good. their kids assembling a klon clone is really charming. kit looks fun too.

I love that it comes with Klon Goop

it’s expensive but damn. this might be cooler than my beatbuddy.

I looked at this but it doesn’t give you a readout of tempo. So what i love about my Beat Buddy is the ability to set the tempo to the same one as the song I’m working on.

Unless i missed something, this doesn’t do it?

yes it definitely looks like you manually set it. personally i’m not sure if that matters much to me. i would just as likely tap in a tempo i like and have no idea what that tempo actually is. and even if i’m trying to match a song i would probably just match a click. not exact, i get it. but hey close enough is good enough :rofl: but in a studio-type setting where matching and accuracy is important, then you would probably be correct.
