NPD x3

[ThisDyingSoul76]

Since yesterday I got 3 new additions. Bottom left - MXR Dual Loop Switcher, Second row from bottom, 3rd pedal from right - TL Pedals Rams Head with Mid Sweep, second row from bottom, 4th pedal from right, TL Pedals Z-Gold Fuzz (Silicon AND Germainium diodes... Like a cross between a Fuzz Face and a Tonebender)

Here's a closer shot of the new pedals.

Builder's demos. I'll post some with my own rig later. He does his demos on crap gear with the theory if he can make his pedals sound good with that stuff people will be floored when they hear it in a quality rig.

Cool stuff! I used to use a complicated switching rig consisting of a MIDI foot switch and two Lehle d.loops. I now I have a Road Rage loop switcher and use it from time to time depending on what I am trying to achieve.

Re: NPD x3

I'm basically setting up my board with a few gain pedals before the looper, then each loop has an overdrive, modulation and reverb or delay.

I can run the loops together or separately but ultimately the end goal is clean, crunch, and lead with a few different sounds depending on what pedals are switched on.

Placed the Rat, Rams Head and King Klon before the looper. One loop has a Joyo Vintage Overdrive, Garagetone Phaser, Hotone Tremolo and digital Reverb. The second loop has an Open Road, Graghic EQ and Delay and chorus. I'll probably change things up occasionally but until I get a better switching solution this works for me.

Nice! My loop switching is super-simple, too. I don't need anything complicated. One loop for clean/modulation and one for crunch/more crunch. I run delay, etc right into the front of the amp, so it's just a 2-wire solution -- guitar to board, board to amp.

Re: NPD x3

Here's the current layout. I'm thinking base crunch sound from the King Klon, Rat or Ram's Head... Choose a loop based on what I want for a lead tone. ... the fact both loops can run together gives me options to mix things up too but the goal was to introduce multiple pedals to the signal with minimal tap dancing. I generally never use more than 3 or 4 effects total anyway

Looks great!

Re: NPD x3

Unfortunately the cable connecting the King Klon to the Rat was faulty.

I just really need to invest in good patch cables.
