Hey all. I'm hoping someone here can help. I'm wanting to build a pedal switcher / Bypass Loop box that will allow me to use my stereo pedals.
First, a bit of background for clarity: I am using a Marshall JMP-1 Preamp and Peavey Classic 50/50 Power amp for my rig these days. In the effects loop send I go to a mono rack EQ, to a few stomp boxes like my volume pedal, chorus, Phaser, Flanger and my Micro Amp that I use a a boost for solos. After the micro amp I go to a Boss DC-3 Digital Dimension which is a mono in and Stereo out. Unlike most "stereo" pedals, it actually sends a wet signal to each output rathe than the Wet/Dry arrangement of most others. After that I run to my Echo Park which has stereo in and out and then the stereo signal goes to the stereo return of the JMP-1. I really like chorus and other modulation effects and have several of them. Including the DC-3 I have 5 pedals that are stereo in some capacity and I was thinking to build a device that would allow me to connect the mono in and stereo out of each of these pedals to a common mono in/Stereo out, placed between the Micro Amp and the Echo Park, so that I could technically use any or all of them as stereo effects.
I found this attached pic of something that would work mostly as the concept, but was hoping someone who is better at electronic design than I am could provide some insight on how to add the second return to each loop and a second output. I don't necessarily need the master bypass.
Sorry for the long winded post.
Many thanks!
Trevor
