Re: Filter-Looper Swapping

["Charlie Milkey" <pilotcp@gmail.com>]

If you know how to make effects (or know someone that can, there is the Juggler pedal that can be found at Geofex.com (scroll down a bit to "the Juggler" and that is a effect loop reverser, you could set it edp->filter, and then you can switch Filter->Edp and put that loop after your effect...

I also think you can get a loooper to do that too (www.loooper.com) but right now Dave is sick and isn't taking orders...but thats another alternative

I've ordered an Electrix Filter Queen for my "cheap guitar
synth".  No MIDI control but it does have an expression pedal in.

Thank you Andy for the idea of using a filter plus distortion and
thanks to everybody else who sent me suggestions.  That's what I
really like about this list. The idea never would have occurred to me
on my own.

While I wait for the Electrix, I'm reviewing my signal chain and I've
realized that I'll want to put the Filter Queen both pre and
post  looper and be able to switch between the two.

In other words I'll want two signal paths that I can switch between
with a single pedal-press:

1. Guitar-->Effects-->Filter-->EDP-->Amp

2. Guitar-->Effects-->EDP-->Filter-->Amp

I've been looking at the inputs and outputs and drawing diagrams but
I can't figure out how to switch the positions in the signal chain
between the EDP and the FilterQueen with a single pedal press.  I do
have two inputs on the amp.

Can anybody help me with my signal routing conundrum?  As always, I'm
careful with the pennies I earn from playing music so a cheap
solution is preferred.

Thanks for your help!

Cheers,
Kevin
