I like the general layout and set up of the Boss LS2 !
Does anyone have an idea how to build such a pedal ? ( or is it not that easy ?)




Thanks for any help !!

It depends on how close to that particular one you want to get.  You can do a simple A/B/Y pedal from any of a number of schematics on the internet, though the Boss pedal must be buffered.  Then again, there are lots of buffers on the web too.  It looks to have both the input and output buffered.  

If, on the other hand, you want it to be a single switch deal with all the different switching rotations of the Boss pedal, you are probably going to need to either learn to program microcontrollers, or find someone to do it for you.  You could then use the uC to either control the switching with either a couple of relays or a couple of SS switches.  It wouldn't be a particularly hard program to make, so if you have an interest in learning such things it wouldn't be a bad place to start.

Or, if you're hardcore, you can do it with CMOS logic instead :D

Probably won't fit in a Boss enclosure, though.    :o  :o  :o
