Hmmm, sorry, but that's still a lot of tap-dancing for choosing presets.

Nice work! I appreciate the video. I really like this pedal board and switcher so far, but I wish Dingbat included a video on their website like this video.

I have a question. How do you connect the pedals and can I connect certain pedals to the loop and others to the front. Also can I SW channels on my Mesa Triple Crown TC-100? My Mesa has a Midi (in/out) I'm going to follow your video. Thx

@jacobchampoux33125 ай бұрын
If you have a few pedals that don’t need individual control (like volume, wah, tuner), you can daisy chain those and put them on one preset.

Out of curiosity are you using a large or medium pedalboard? Ideally I wanted to copy your board!
@jacobchampoux33127 ай бұрын
Haha I appreciate that man! I have the Pedaltrain Novo 24. I believe it’s 24 inches wide. Voodoo Lab makes a power supply bracket that mounts on the underside of the board so it’s pretty clean. That and a LOT of zip ties lol

This is exactly what you don't need (playing live): Tap dance on several bottoms in order to go instantly from one sound to another in less than a 1/16 note.

If i have more than 8 pedals I can just chain them to the footswitch right? Also am I correct in that it doesnt matter where your chains are plugged in on the voodoolab because you can just choose which switch you want x chain to be on?
@jacobchampoux33127 ай бұрын
Yes, more than 8 pedals, you can chain multiple pedals on one or more of the 8 loops. Your other question, I have not experimented with the switcher to see if order matters. I truly thought it did so I patched all my pedals in the order I would connect them anyway. But I don’t think I’ll take apart my board to find out how the tone changes with a different pedal order. I use my board for gigs so everything is clamped down and tidy haha.

Excellent video- thank you! 2 inquiries: If I add a Midi Board say the Roland FC300- will that increase my preset amounts? What if I have 2 types of parameters in my delay- can they be saved in a preset or I need 2 analog delay stomp boxes (Canyon) ?
@jacobchampoux33129 ай бұрын
So the midi board I unfortunately can’t help you with since I haven’t had to add one of those. That’s something that people aren’t satisfied with my video. The 2 parameter delay: I have a Keeley Caverns that has two settings. What I have to do is keep my delay on one preset and press the other footswitch on the delay pedal itself to engage the extra reverb. Not sure if that’ll work with your setup. Let me know if this helps.

Ok weird question time: can I use this to basically run one effects loop pedalboard section into the effects loop of 5 different amps?
@jacobchampoux331210 ай бұрын
That is a good question. I would think that if you flipped the input/output direction from a typical setup, that it would work like that. Different amp combinations would be cool
@Earthwormjimm10 ай бұрын
@@jacobchampoux3312 dang I may have to do it. I have 5 amps set up on my studio rack all ready to be selected either via two notes torpedo or a 2x12 cab using an amp switcher. But I have to manually hook up the effects loop of whatever pedal and amp I choose this would help me have them set up always ready to use.

Hello, I have a question for the pedal. How can I carry on over my delay trails after I switch to another preset? I would like the delays to fade out when I switch to my high gain settings without the delay.
@jacobchampoux3312 Жыл бұрын
I don’t believe trails are possible without having the delay pedal in your high gain preset. At that point you’d have to kick off the delay once the trail fades.

@jacobchampoux3312 Жыл бұрын
Make sure you're hooking things up correctly. The Ouput of the Voodoo should go to the amp, and the guitar should plug into the Input of the pedal. You also need to hook each individual pedal to a send and a return. Send goes into the Input of your effect pedal and Return plugs into the Output of you pedals.

So I'm waiting for mine in the mail! I've got one question that you'll be able to answer and save me some time: how does pedal order work? Is it basically the loops? Like, if I put a fuzz in loop 2 and an octaver in loop 1 - does that mean octaver goes before the fuzz? Or is there another way of doing it?
@jacobchampoux33122 жыл бұрын
The loops are in the same order that it would be if you chained them together normally. If you put multiple pedals into one loop, put them in the order as if they were chained in a typical board. But you won’t be able to activate them individually unless you turn the pedals themselves on and off
