    I like the work. Nice. I, however, don't know how you would use it. Can someone share an example?

    • @RayMcNamaraMusic

      It's so the guy that commissioned it can switch on all his pedals at once (effects loop), or turn the sound off (kill switch).

    Please remove the tip from your soldering iron and grind it to a point. Then reinstall it in the Iron and get it hot and TIN IT. get a wet sponge and use that to wipe your tip off. The sponge will keep the tip clean and you will have an easier time soldering. Nice project. Good job.

      All very good tips. Was using a super old RadioShack iron at the time. upgraded to a big boy soldering right after this vid.

    Commenting five years too late: Can this be done but with mic input and output, for vocals? Would that require more mojo with a transformer?

    • @RayMcNamaraMusic
      @RayMcNamaraMusic  Год назад

      Short answer is yes. You can use this same idea to make an XLR effects loop. BUT you need to consider other things when using a mic like the volume that mic outputs, what ovlume devices in the effects loop expect, whether too use a preamp and where the chain it goes, etcetera.

      @@gabrielcone6733 Basically put a preamp first in the chain, and you'll be fine. Watch out for feedback.

    Can the kill switch be replace with momentary switch?

    • @RayMcNamaraMusic
      @RayMcNamaraMusic  4 года назад

      Definitely. Be careful that you're buying the right kind of momentary switch though. You may end up with an open circuit at all times unless you hold your foot on the button.

    Hello man! Love the pedal but was wondering if you have a different diagram? I am thinking of making a passive feedback looper such as yours which will use a dpdt momentary and without dc power. Is that possible?

    • @RayMcNamaraMusic
      @RayMcNamaraMusic  4 года назад +1

      Extremely possible. You don't need my diagram. Check out how these switches work and you'll be able to make up your own design in 15 minutes! I love the idea of momentary switches controlling feedback. Sounds like fun!

    Is-it possible to use a switch looper to connect 2 or more pedals in parallel ? Many switchers allow from 2 to 8 loops, like this one fr.aliexpress.com/item/4000348833245.html?spm=a2g0o which allows 3 loops, but I am not sure that putting pedals in parallel work because I tried to do it with 2 pedals simply using cables and Vintage EHX 5X Junction Mixers but it doesn't work, sound is horrible probably because of connecting pedals outputs in parallel I think. So is this thing: www.thomann.de/fr/electro_harmonix_tri_parallel_mixer.htm the only one possible to use for parallel connections, because it is a mixer in fact... ? What do you think about it ?

      Easily. Start by drawing the wiring out on paper.
