Switcher & Power Supply for €88???

[@craigparse1439]

5:13 I'm amazed! You have succeeded in making (possibly) the most irritating sound on the internet. Well done!

[@jakemixd]

5:13 Very accurate representation. My pedal exactly sound like that before I change my power supply.

[@irrsinnrainer]

Yeah, it has only four loops. But for someone like me, that uses only 4 pedals plus tuner at the moment but has some singing to do while playing, it is quite convenient to not have to do tap dancing to switch effects. So this is the perfect switcher for me

[@alexbreyer6921]

I wonder. With the switches being so close together, the four pedals alone might easier to work with. If it was more loops and multiple rows of pedals, I would agree.

As an electronics engineer I can tell you an extremely solid power supply can be built for less than $20 bucks, it’s hard to understand musical fufu stuff that’s what... $250.00 that’s just insane...

Well sure 20 bucks for the pure power supply parts BUT what about a case, switches, connectors, r&d, production cost, labor costs, packaging etc... Its not that easy... people want ready made products not just "parts" for a power supply... And you didnt provid the schematic that was asked for either... I hardly doubt you are really an engineer because you dont understand the difference between a marketable product and the parts you have to have to make a "thing" work on your workbench...

Could it change the loops order in presets? For example, preset 1: in->loop1->loop2->out, preset 2: in->loop3->loop1->loop2->out preset 3: in->loop4->loop1->loop3->loop2->out? Or it can only add next loop to previous in presets and loop1 always first and e.t.c.?

[@jjrusy7438]

This thing is nice. Also there is nothing stopping one from chaining two pedals on a single loop when you have 2 pedals that always get used together to save a loop I would guess that a bigger one with maybe 8 switches will show up soon. also that would be 8 instant pedal-patches vs 4 before having to switch pages. Time will tell how that little 2A wall wart will hold up. that's kind of a big wattage for a tiny piece of electronics. heat dissipation becomes an issue. Behringer mixers run hotter than I would like fwiw

Hello to everyone, I have seen this video and I am wondering if it is possible to use this switcher in order to switch two amps. I am refering to change the signal so that the non-switched amp remains muted. Maybe through both the mute button and the tuner output?. Thank you for your attention and greetings to all of you.

[@hubieh3374]

You know ,.. you can connect more than one pedal in a loop!! lol Could be a very useful controller... Even on a monster board!

If you for example always use your chorus with a reverb (like me) you can always use it with more pedals with two or more of them chained in one of the loops.

Mine makes a loud noise through the amp when switching some pedals.

[@Fireproof300]

Great video! Very insightful. One question though: can you save different pedal settings on different banks? E.g. dialling in a soft OD for bank one but saving a more "heavy" setup of the same pedal for bank 2? Any help on this would be much appreciated!

no, this can’t be done.

So I'm a noob, this may be a dumb question but, can the switcher change the input order? I just watched the TPS episode on where to put delay and reverb in relation to overdrive and wonder if this could do some of things that GigRig beast can, if in a more limited fashion.

is it ISOLATED power supply?

[@EytschPi42]

yes

[@seanwesley9556]

I doubt it the plug in is a tiny wire to be true isolated it would need a fat plug. Most Chinese companies say isolated but really it's a daisy chain.

[@natrelacoustix]

@@seanwesley9556 how do you daisy chain 2 X 200ma 1 X 300ma and 1 X 500ma? That would logically mean only two outputs are chained. The two 200ma yes? So... Make sure you don't put your drive or distortion pedals through them as they're more likely to give earth hum. Shouldn't be hard, I personally don't own any drive pedals that draw more than 200ma. I know it seems like a waste of the isolated higher rated outlets, but if it's a problem, don't buy the unit. At least be fully informed. Me I only ever use the drive from my amp these days, so I don't find any of this a problem using this for my ambients.

[@vladsnape6408]

Is the 12 V/2A power supply to the device a universal supply, e.g. will it work in Australia where we have 230-240V? I tried to find out by going to the Thomann web site, but it does not specify the input voltage range of the power adapter.

Please don´t hate me thomann but -I think this is a TOY

[@ryndanriley5348]

You just said all the reasons I never bought a switcher. But this has 5 built in isolated power jacks and it's cheaper than my current iso5. So all the sudden the slight convenience of the switcher makes sense because you're getting a value on the power.

[@MrJLobster]

@@ryndanriley5348 I had a Harley B PowerPlant. The voltage on one output was 8.95V and the other one was just barely 9.01V under load conditions. My pedals didn´t like that. Everything sounded somewhat dull and warm. A review of a Powerbank should enclude voltage measuring under load conditions. I would appreciate this!

[@MrDblStop]

@MrJLobster But what about the possibility of loops of pedals? Is that what you meant by "four rows of pedals"? I've just bought one of these to use with 10 pedals. I already have the PowerPlant ISO 1 Pro which powers 8 pedals, so when I came to add pedals and look at another power supply, this was a no-brainer. I'll have some pedals together in loops, and the switching options of banks is a whole new world for me. Can't wait to get it hooked up, but I'm having to wait for Santa to bring me a Harley Benton Spaceship 60XL board. Measure twice, order once- the 60 wasn't big enough! Got a lot of love for Harley Benton at the moment. When you can't fault the quality and the price is good, there's no room for snobbery over the name.

[@MrJLobster]

@@MrDblStop Thanks for asking! Now were talking serious! Switching small loops (or rows) of pedals is what makes sense in my opinion - but even then there will only be 11 different combinations possible if I´m calculating correctly. Nothing on my side against Harley Benton - it could be as well written One Control on the unit - it doesn´t change the fact that for 4 pedals is not r e a l l y a switcher necessary. If you got noisy old or bad bufffered pedals to switch out of your signal path -that would be a reason too but nothing like that is mentioned in Hennings vid. So I wanted to point that out. Have fun!

What switcher can you recommend of I dont need the power supply?

[@EytschPi42]

[@alexbreyer6921]

Loop switchers are kind of stupid expensive. Most switchers either fall into programmable or non programmable category. And those that do both are even more expensive. This one looks to be programmable only, which is a mixed bag. I had the Moen GEC9 Commander V2, which is actually easier than this one and controls more loops, and it's about $250-$290. High quality build and quiet operation. But it's switching is for programmed loops only, so jamming and just experimenting with different pedal combos is really impossible with that switcher. I believe this Harley Benton would be the same. One that does both and looks attractive is the EHX Super Switcher. It's large, but does nearly everything but allowing for changing the pedal order digitally (like the Boss ES-8 or Gig Rig G2 can do).
