Basically I'm trying to copy this looper from righteous tones

If it's still hard to understand, download their manual.  It gives you more detail on it

I came up with this wiring from looking at some loopers here.  Can you guys check it and see if it's right?  Thanks
EDIT: Forgot one connection, fixed it and re-uploaded pics

No, that won't work. That is, it won't work well.

Avoid making those "y" connections. Thats where the problem lies.

There is a dual looper in the gallery. Study that and just add the master bypass switch.



I'm assuming you are not trying to incorporate the balanced XLR loop.

Your error is trying to return loop-1 (the one on the left) to the mater bypass switch. It should carry on to loop-2.

The way you have it now the master bypass will bypass loop-1 and let loop-2 still work.

I find it easier to figure these things out by drawing one pole at a time and ignoring the poles for any LEDs.

Here is a switching diagram that uses symbols to represent the poles.

oh yea I was tryin to omit the xlr connections btw.  Here's v2, let me know what you think now.  thanks!

Much better, that should do it.

When I built my dual looper I used every lug on the switches following the GGG wiring method.

Interesting how you managed it with one free lug.

 :icon_lol: It's my first time trying to wire something up on my own.  I basically used the 3pdt wiring diagram for a TB Looper from singlecoil.com as a reference.  Ordered some switches and plan on building soon, I'll post back here to see how it goes.  Thanks again for all the help
