Switching between series/parallel effects using a rotary switch

This is really helpful!

You're right, I have not found any mini 3P4T rotary switches.  I wonder if they exist. 

I might need to re-evaluate my plans; I'm already opting to have the series effects order switch as a toggle.  *maybe* a better plan is to simply have a toggle between series and parallel and have both effects have their own footswitch. I'm trying to cram all this into a 125B sized box so that might be the more realistic route.

I have seen this on Ali.... it's even 4p4t not much bigger than a 9 mm pot.

Parallel effects are fun! I'm working on 4 loops splitter/blender with some matrix-mixer style potmeters. Two for each loop with  two footswitches to select clean/dirt and two different effect settings.

You don't need to mute A or B if you have Blend pot or Volume pots on both channels.

Also, if you need just A->B and A+B (not B->A with two previous options), DPDT is quite sufficient with Blend pot.

60 pedals and counting!

True, with 2 volumes or 1 blend pot you get the same possibilities, and even more because you can control the mix. And you can't operate a rotary with your foot (unless you're using a fancy weird looking knob).

Just thought of something I "modded" by splitter/blender with, instead of a blend pot a TRS jack and an expression pedal with some rewiring.
