In case you haven't seen it, BYOC recently introduced a true bypass A/B loop switch. I happen to have two of these kits, but only need one, so the other is available for $25 in kit form or $50 assembled. The BYOC kit sells for $50 by itself; they're currently running a deal where you get one free with the purchase of two of their other kits at the regular price (which is how I ended up with two! :D). So here's a chance to get the kit for half price or the fully assembled switch for what other people are paying for just the kit. SUCH A DEAL!! :rockya

PM me if interested.

These loop switches are very handy for a variety of uses. From the product description on the BYOC site:


A true bypass looper with two channels in one small box (4.75" x 2.6"). Use it to preserve the tone you've worked so hard by to achieve by adding true mechanical bypass to your non-true bypass effects. Use it as an A/B box. Use it to switch between two entirely different FX loops. Use one channel as a true bypass looper, use the other as a tuner mute. The footswitch on the right is the bypass footswitch. When one of the send/return channels are engaged, a blue LED comes on. The footswitch on the left is the Channel select switch. When send/return channel A is engaged, a yellow LED comes on. When send/return channel B is engaged, a red LED comes on. Takes a 9V battery or standard 2.1mm negative tip adaptor.
Here's a photo--assembled loop switch is on the left; unassembled enclosure on the right, with parts in the foreground. No PCB to fabricate, just a bunch of wiring to be done. Detailed directions available HERE (http://buildyourownclone.com/tblinstructions.pdf).

Here's the first one I got, all assembled. So an "interested party" can either buy this one for $50, or the unassembled kit I have coming next Monday (11/8) for $25:

The footswitch on the right either bypasses the signal or sends it through the loop circuit; the blue LED above the right-hand switch comes on when it's engaged.

The footswitch on the left then selects either the "A" or "B" loop to be active; when the A side is engaged, the red LED lights, and when the B side is active, the yellow one is lit. Tried it out after finishing the wiring last night, and it works like a charm. Very handy little box! PM me if interested....

** BUMP **

The 2nd kit showed up yesterday, so I have either the assembled looper switch ($50) or the unassembled kit ($25) available for immediate shipment. Just take your pick and drop me a PM....

Boy, that's a great price. I'm very tempted, but...battling with the fact that I don't really need it...

Mine! Mine! It's all mine! I figured it's a good first pedal build for me, as there is no PCB to melt. :)
