Swapping pedal order pedal or switch?

markblack

Just wondered if there's anything people recommend for this so i can run my mood into my blooper or the other way round simply?

Can be a switch rather than a pedal as its for a table top set up?

Cheers

With anything like this Bright Onion pedals should be your first port of call

Grunfeld

These will do it.  They are very well built.

I'm using a Boredbrain Patchulator 8000:

Has the advantage of being stereo. Might 4 times more jacks than you need though.

@personalnadir cheers. But a bit overkill for my needs.

It's not particularly complicated to make your own if you can solder and drill holes:

I've made a couple myself- I think they both got dismantled for parts when I got my ES-5, which does the same job.

The 4PDT switches are apparently not the most reliable- one of the ones I had broke. You could probably make a similar switch with relays if you were cleverer than me.

That won't do order-swapping unfortunately...

You can actually do it with a 3PDT. That surprised me at first too .

(Ignore the bypass switches.)

^ I think one pole of the 4PDT was just for the indicator LED, which is a useful thing to have.

Or is it? If the difference between one order and the other is that hard to distinguish, is there any point in switching it?

cheers @ICBM ;

@english_bob I was thinking that - do it without the LED as it's just another thing to power.

I used mine to swap a couple of Line 6 M5s between the beginning and the end of the signal chain so I could use the reverbs and delays. The different order was less obvious with some effects than with others, so it was useful to have the LED there. YMMV.
