Two-Channel Single-Switch Looper

[vigilante397]

Hi everyone I've been building for a few months now. I started just following schematics exactly as I found them, then I moved on to tweaking values of caps and resistors to customize my tone, but this is the first time I actually designed something from scratch. Obviously it isn't anything fancy, in fact it will work completely without power if you decide you don't want LED's. So it's nothing world-changing and epic like a lot of the forum members here do, but check it out anyway  \

I came up with the idea because my band has a song where I need to switch from clean with delay straight to distortion with no delay, and I need to do it instantly without having to tap dance all over my board to turn effects on and off. All the looper pedals I could find still used one switch per channel, which means I would need to press two buttons to change effects, and that was one button too many in my mind. So I came up with this:



This is the gut shot of my build; as you can see nothing terribly tricky:



And this is in the finished box with my custom artwork

Do they make a 3-pole button, where you could do this with a bypass???

I'm not really sure, but it seems to me that bypass would kind of defeat the purpose of the pedal. I built it because I realistically only use two sets of effects live (clean w/delay, distortion w/o delay, with reverb at the end of both) so this was to switch between the two. What use would a bypass be?
