What are you guys putting inside your TB loop enclosures?

besides switches of course!

I got this enclosure from Pedal Parts Plus and want to do some switching such as A->B / B->A (mainly for my Flanger and Triboost);   A off / B off (to take each loop out of the series) and A or B (to go from clean flange to my dirt pedals as needed in many Rush songs).  Since I have the additional room I'm going to add a switchable IC buffer and throw in the Mr. EQ circuit at the end.  I need to think this one through before drilling and wanted to see what other ideas some of you were using.

I like the idea of a switchable buffer.
I like mine right at the input.
To save top panel space I use two, normaled, input jacks.
One input is buffered and normaled to the second jack which is unbuffered.
I use the unbuffered input If I decide to throw in a booster or Boss pedal before the efx looper.

I also like putting an amp channel switching "contact closure" footswitch on my efx looper.
Just seems like a good place for it rather than another box.


Here's another idea that combines an efx loop with the amp channel switching.
I haven't tried it but should work OK.
Got the idea from the Tonebone Loopbone.
It switches the channel on your amp when you engage the loop.
Its probably better for a single loop box rather than a strip.



Good luck

Maybe I can afford one, if I do a little less drinking. - Fred Eaglesmith

good ideas...yes, a tuner out would be great assuming room permits! 

I run my buffer at the end or at least at the end of one of my loops because my Crunch Box doesn't like buffers in front of it.

Well If you're as much of a delay freak as I am - I'd probably consider fitting at a momentary switch for a tap tempo either that or just go with the old fs5u for more silent taps.

That's what I'm doing for my looper. 3 loops, master bypass, and tap tempo(for my DD5) in a 1411T. would be nice to find a momentary SPDT or DPDT for the tap tempo so the LED would blink off when tapping

would a tap tempo switch built into a loop box need an insulated/plastic jack? or would a regular Switchcraft/Neutrik work?(seems like there would be ground interference with the other jacks)
