thinking about getting true bypass loops?

Anyone heard of them ?? if not you have probably seen them on chris cheneys pedalboard.

Basically you have a metal strip with say 5 buttons, each button is hooked up to one of your effect pedals (the pedal is always turned ON). Hit the switch that goes with your pedal and your effect pedal turns on....

the good thing about this is that you get a pure signal from guitar to amp (guitar lead into TB strip, lead out of TB strip into amp) with none of your pedals in the signal chain, therefore ALOT less hum and better sound quality as your signal isnt going through 100's of patch leads and pedals.

Make sence ??

thought it would be cool to have since im always trying to improve my sound. Expensive though.... and will take up alot of room on my pedal board. What do you think ?

TBH It's certainly easier and theyre easy to make, only thing is you could probably get a better sound by putting a little buffer/booster somewhere in your rig since the signal will still travel a bit. also it'll take up alot of room on your pedalboard. But if you want to, by all means go for it! It'd be a cool little project. Or you can be lazy and buy half a dozen Little Lehles:p

yeah im getting a custom made board in a road case made up for me. Hidden compartments to store leads and power supplies.

If i get the loops the project will be over the $1000 mark :eek:

But yeah i think i'll do it haha

just get a gigrig man, they're pricey, but comparatively it'll end up cheaper.

Yeah, i'd buy it with all the shows you play it makes sense to.:D

[Fritz]

yeah true that.. ive got alot of really cool custom made pedals that you dont see very often. A couple of one of a kinds, and they are all started to looked trashed from me stepping on them most days of the week
