I have a guitar pedal idea in my head. Lemme know if it exists, and if so, what it's called.

crossposted to [info]effects_junkies and [info]guitargeek

I want a heel-toe aka seesaw-style pedal that has send and return to loop my effects pedals, so I can control how how much of the output from the pedal is my effects pedals versus clean guitar.



An on/off stomp button for 100% loop would be nice too, and a gain knob to turn the loop signal up or down to match the clean signal, but those aren't a must.

Does this exist? I'm ready to buy. Please comment here or e-mail me at basilwhite a@Aat7Tt basilwhite doO0Tt coO0m - Thx!

You're looking for a parallel effects loop thats controlled by an expression pedal. i'm not positive of any brand that exists, however i can't imagine it would be hard to have one of the many looping companies out there make you one, or to take a parallel effects loop pedal (like this one) and have it modded to use the expression pedal.

good luck!

you could do it with a pan pedal, one side clean and the other dirty, and run both into a mixer or just a Y cable.

What you are looking for is a pan pedal. Example:

basilwhite: Crashposting and

When I crosspost (VERY rare), I crashpost the comments into one thread so people benefit from each other's work and people don't duplicate effort. But there is the loss of which of the threads was the most productive, I'll grant you that.

BTW, you gave me the link I was looking for. I'm a bass player, I don't understand the pedal mumbo jumbo. Thanks.

I've seen those kinds of things before, but for assignable keyboard effect controls. Korg makes them, but I don't know whether or not they would be remotely useful for this...
