DIY Programmable Pedal Loop Switcher Build (Part 5)

The DIY Programmable Pedal Loop Switcher is alive!
In this video I demo the Pedal Loop Switcher in all its true bypass glory and explain my progress and problem fixes.
This project has been a challenge but well worth the effort.
It has been hardware wise finished for at least two months and the programming is an on going progress as required at this stage.
I have been road testing the loop switcher on the pedal board I gig with and it has not let me down but it did require some programming alterations to render it user friendly.
With the programmable loop switcher pedal board dancing is a thing of the past during tonal transitions! This thing is staying on my board.
In the next video we will look at the programming and processor noise reduction.

Hi Paul I am doing my own Pedal Loop, and i was asking myself is there was a finished version of the code (in the previous videos you put a code, but you was saying it was not th final version). If you have it, It is possible to share it . Thank a lot, you are very inspiring (kiss from France).

Hey Paul ! Great project. Any chance you're going to get together a schematic ? Particularly how the in/out jacks, relays, and mute relay is wired. Keep up the cool work !

[ВоваБляблин-вт]

Cool Paul! Thank you for the simple idea. I added 3 more buttons to your sketch. And 4 (reset) will send the signal directly to the tuner. By the way, instead of 13 pins, I used 7 to prevent the relay from working when you turn it on.

Hi Paul, what an awesome project this is. It inspired me to grab my arduino back from the shelf but I doubt it will be as sophisticated as this. Do you know if there is a repository or schematic abailable? I am hoping to build a longer one where buttons double up as save buttons as well.

Amazing playing and project! I watched the series and am very intrigued. cheers

Hi Paul, big fan. I found your video trying to find info while making a similar project myself. I've tried everything trying to make the mute relay work but it just pops too, so I get a pop when it mutes, then a pop when my switching relays engage, then a pop when it unmutes. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Looks like you made your own board for your mute relay - is it somehow different? I just used a normal relay breakout board like your big ones. Thanks in advance (hope you reply)!

Paul, this is great work I know you don't seem active anymore but I hope you can answer this.

1) I'm having trouble understanding, or finding another circuit that explains it, how your relays/loops are wired up. Well, how any of it is really. A circuit diagram would be literally the best thing that had ever existed in the entire world if you have a chance.

2) With this set up can you re-order the loops?

[jomaas]

Hi there, great project ! Do you have a schematic of how everything is connected please?

[danianequezada]

Hello friend, excellent job, I'm your fan.
I'm from Brazil, and I don't understand English well.
Could you write the function of the 1 relay module?
Thanks.

Hello Paul, found your video very interesting, when are you going to upload the programmable section

[giansa]

Great job! Is it possibile to have a code for arduino and the schematics? If yes were i can find it?

[markusschuster]

Hey Paul
This is really great. Can you give me the Code and a shematic for this. I tried some different looper by myself but nothing is working

[bishoy]

Hey Paul, Great Work
I am trying to build my own right now,
Did you share the code and wiring diagram anywhere ?

[adamstringham]

Hey, I have two questions. I am currently working on my own Arduino powered loop switcher. How did you mount all the electronics into the enclosure to get everything to stay while looking clean? Also, in an earlier video you said you added a feature where you used stereo input jacks to keep the switcher from adding a loop if nothing is plugged in. Would you mind explaining how you did that? Thanks!

[joeyskar]

I have an interesting inquiry, how do you build an ab switcher that receives commands from an external device via TRS?
I'm trying to build a box that has a signal split on the right that would go into two preamp inputs, then have their FX send come back into a ab switcher and out as a mono, and then stereo in to stereo out back into the FX returns of the amps just for ease of routing 6 cables.
Why do this? I use a BOSS ES-8 and it has a handy always on send with a return BUT it doesn't support running this to two amps because it's mono.
By doing this I'll be able to choose between two different preamps simply by using the ab return and sending the bypassed amp a signal into the FX return to use it's power amp and vice versa. It would be a HUGE game changer for me and many other players who don't even know this is an option.
It also wouldn't hurt to have a MIDI in/out for use with an external controller. Also to have a single split on it's way out for a device that only has a MIDI in (digitech whammy, I'm looking at you!!!) would be supreme.

[ujnhunter]

Was this the final video? Is there code or a schematic to build this? These videos were awesome!

[MinNyeAccount]

can it change the order of the pedals ? if not how woould you go about doing that ? :)

[Crocodile_Guitars]

Great project Great job..if i may ask how do you power everything (relays and the arduino)?

[danieltarbotton]

As others have asked, do you plan to post up a schematic? I would really love to see the details of the signal routing and grounding.

Thanks for sharing this project.

[juanpablo]

amazing work!!!, I just made a similar proyect but I have a noise in the line :( I think it's because to the relays there aren't made for the audio signal's. Maybe do you have the same problem, how you resolved it?
