FX pedals

[radere]

Ah! Thanks, David. This helps a lot.

Just to make sure I get this right, I'm going to order this switch - http://www.smallbearelec.com/Detail.bok?no=38 - for the mod, and then this switch - http://www.smallbearelec.com/Detail.bok?no=985 - for the bypass replacement.

Sorry for the repetitiousness of this convo. I literally haven't a clue what I'm doing! Thankfully, I've got a friend with experience in this area helping me out.

And yes - I did manage to salvage the set. I have a couple loopers inside of Ableton, as well; so I just swapped out the cables, plugged directly into my soundcard and did all my looping inside the laptop. Not ideal, by any stretch...but it got the job done!

those should work - even though the bypass switch is board mounted, it actually just looked like a standard 3pdt switch to me when i opened mine up last night ( http://www.smallbearelec.com/Detail.bok?no=20 ). the only difference on the board mountable 3pdt switch is longer leads, which would probably make things easier - so either should work.

glad to hear the laptop saved it - i have been working sans laptop a lot lately, so hardware failure is a little more problematic for me...

I rely on processed textures and field recordings in my performances so much that getting up on stage without a computer really isn't much of a possibility...at least not with my current gear!

I ordered the parts up yesterday, so hopefully I can get my little looper buddy back up and running in no time!

Thanks for all your help, David. It's been really informative. Great job!

Got the modded SMMH back last night...and absolutely love it! I'm going to play my first gig with it tomorrow night. Can't wait to have the little guy right up on the table top next all my other gear. 'Twill make life so much easier!

hi!

just received-tested yesterday a "feedback loop pedal" and had tons of fun with connecting to other "numb" pedals (kinda of "no input pedal" sounds, but also interesting when connecting to my guitar-synths)

mine is like this:



anyone using these? (as I can see on some schematics their are not difficult to build)

best,
pug

Hey pug. How "musical" are the results?

hi rene!

didn´t see your reply!

well, not musical at all, but interesting results when connecting reverb and (mixed with) distortions. I had tons of fun when plugged it to my fx units

...another "freezer"one:

surely it can be modded to get the "latch" function
