Pedal looper?

[jmh151]

Does anyone have any thoughts on pedal loopers? Good ones? By pedal loopers I mean gadgets that put each pedal in a loop, allowing you to true bypass each pedal completely

Re: Pedal looper?

The market is pretty much saturated with people building these.

Loop master are good but a bit on the expensive side for what you are getting.

Do you have any specific requirements?

Re: Pedal looper?

I use one and it made my gigging life SO mush easier!

Mine came from Loop-Master and Brian did quality work, got it done quick and IMHO his prices are reasonable.

I know I could have done it myself but I'd just rather make a call, place the order then wait on it in the mail.

Mine doesn't bypass every pedal...I had really specific needs and didn't want to mess with a big switching system and Brian made it happen for me!

Re: Pedal looper?

I ordered mine from loop master on July 3 when they were having a sale and it still has not arrived. I understand they make quality stuff, but I will never order anything from them again. This is an absurd amount of time to wait.

This is the main reason I dislike them. I had to wait 6 months for £5-8 worth of components.

I decided not be be lazy in the end and made my own then sold the loop master pretty much as soon as it landed after a quick inspection.

Re: Pedal looper?

I'm thnking of getting the GigRig QuarterMaster 6 looper.

My only issue is there's currently a 2 month wait and he wants payment up front.
That leaves me wide open to being made to wait longer than quoted as he's no motivation to get his money... plus he's earning interest while doing nothing.

I'm happy to pay a 50% deposit but he's insisting on full.

In addition, he's never replied to any e mail query I've sent, I had to resort to phoning.
The product looks better than any others Ive seen so do I trust him or not ? hmmm

Re: Pedal looper?

I had a loooper (website here) and gigged with it for several years. Worked great and if I had a bunch of tone suck pedals I would get one again.

Here's basically my requirements. I used to have 14 pedals mounted on an SKB Stage 5 Pedal board. I used George L cables to wire it all up. At the end of the day with so many pedals I wasn't happy with the job the Boss NS-2 was doing, even though most of the pedals were true bypass.

I just got a new amp- EVH 5150 III which has less noise, I don't need to use a looper, what I want to do is but the flanger, chorus, delay and reverb in the effects loop, wah and phase 90 in front, tuner anywhere and be able to remove each pedal completely from the signal to eliminate noise. The amp's very quiet at high gain settings now, and I want to keep it that way, so I'm figuring a bypass looper would help

I would look into something such as http://www.glab.com.pl/gsc-2_en

They're pricey but very configurable and you can also control midi units with them and change channels on your amp with each "patch" you set up.

Email Brian at Loop-Master, tell him what your needs are and he can make it happen without having to mess with big complex systems or midi...

Thanks. Actually Midi I wouldn't mind since my amp has Midi, but I've never used Mini before so I don't know where to start. By Loop-Master loops simple enough

Midi can be alright but I don't care for it myself...the closer I can get to just plugging into my amp is what I want to do.

I suggested the G lab because it can switch everything on your amp bring your pedals in/out in multiple configurations and also power everything.

But it depends how much flexibility you want/need.


I personally just go guitar>amp with nothing anywhere else.

The G-Lab I just checked out, it looks awesome, but the price ($1349) is more than most multi effect processors... good unit though

Pedals...the new rack...
Funny how times changes, and stay the same.
Lotsa good people out there who can do what you want, go with Christians suggestion....it seems to be working well.

Re: Pedal looper?

Consider also the Carl Martin's Octaswitch II. Nice one.
