Loop-Master Five Switch Effects Router With Minus The Bear

[uotter1]

Dave you need to tighten up that board!

[Diipole]

That is a very poor system for switching between multiple pedals. You still tap dance with that set up. There are a lot of other switchers that actually offer toggling from bank to bank and the ability to store any choice of pedal routing. I hope this guy updated his rig. Check out switchers by voodoo labs, Carl martin Octa-switch and there are a lot more.

@Diipole it's actually all up to your preference. the octa switch only allows you 8 preset of pedals instead of being able to access all 8 separately, which i prefer. also big loopers with more options take up more space on your board and are more complex so set up would not be easy if you change your board around from time to time.

and as a loop master user, i've found that i don't do any tap dancing actually. all 6 buttons are in front of me in the size of a DL4. easy to use and it's custom.

[Diipole]

@thricex05 I would agree that its up to your preference but I'll give you another example. Check out the Cusack pedal board tamer. It actually has all the features that this loop master has but it is also programmable so you can program lets say... 3 effects on bank 1, 5 effects on bank 2, 8 effects on bank 3 and so on. So you have access to each bank as a bypass switch like this Loop Master but you also have the programming capability. Don't get me wrong, sometimes less is more...

@Diipole

yes, the cusack pedalboard tamer is awesome, but i'm not in the position to spend $500 on a TB looper. i got my loop master for $100. if i had a lot of money, i'd probably take my rig to CAE, but i don't have that kind of luxury.

[Diipole]

@thricex05 @Diipole me either lol. That's where the Mars Manipulator comes in because to me... programming is more important than having each pedal on a bypass switch. I'm curious if you will want to buy a Mars Manipulator if you haven't heard of it... its about $170. Check it out

[hojima]

@Diipole Why bother though? Its not actually that hard to hit a few switchs.

[TBPM1]

Very Messy Rig.

[44eelz]

so all the pedals have to stay on for it to work?

[RastaAfro1]

He uses the word "bypass" alot

[RetroMouse70]

with a switcher like this, will delays trail after they are bypassed via the switcher (given they trail when bypassed normally)?

[thricex05]

@RetroMouse70

no, but pedals that have a trail are not true bypass. so if you want it to be true bypass you need to give up having trails or place them somewhere else in the rig.

I'm sorry I can't help but notice.. isn't this only a Loop-Master 4-Loop Effect Switcher w/Tuner Out & Master Bypass?

[t0psecretshit]

i'm sold!

[StefanPriceUK]

What a mess, lol.

[MichaelThomas]

He's starting to look like jesus

[ohnoitsryan]

Show us Daves's predal board!

[njhamlet]

there is an article at PRS's website where dave talks about his board a little bit, and gives his signal path.

[amarr1]

can he just leave the pedals on

[thebeatled]

what?

[amarr1]

when he has one loop working, can he just leave the other pedals on that are not in the loop?

[ughmustard]

yes since if the loop is not active the effects wont do anything

[orpheus06]

True!!!

[constipatedduckman]

AWESOME. Thank you for this video.
