RE: Insane to even contemplate?

go slow and steady...while you are at it buy a cheap fcb1010...inside there is vitually nothing to it...a few chips and a strip of contact switches...you should be able to use this instead of the traditional echoplex footswitch to give you all the goodness of the extra midi button functions. i have had a go at this before but ran out of time and puit it all back as was.

again, slow and steady.

Sounds like a great plan, and yes.. crazy to contemplate!

AFAI remember.. the front panel items are on a different board (maybe not including the pots, which could be removed and re-wired onto longer wires. I would NOT ry to cable the internal switches up to the footswitches however, how about just HARD-wiring the jack out from the pedal to the jack in?
I can certainly imagine this beast! What a scary job though!

I want to take the guts of an EDP and an EDP footswitch and sort of meld them together. I need the faceplate from the EDP to show up on the front of the melded device though obviously I don't need most of the buttons since I'll have the footswitch buttons.

As a bonus feature, it would be great to have stereo friendliness added as circuitry that would support passing a stereo signal through even if the loop was mono. That's obviously going to fight with the mix knob, however. Even cooler, provide an insert after the loop to go from mono back to stereo.

Am I insane to contemplate this?

(And while I'm contemplating it, how about using the Boomerang footswitches and throwing in one of the Boomerang roller _expression_ pedals...)
