Strymon Tech Corner: Brig With MultiSwitch Plus

[@rickfrancismusic]

I love all my Strymons, but, now I am starting to see dedicating a Multiswitch Plus to every pedal! Let alone expression pedals for all. I need to build separate Multiswitch pedalboards with nothing but those. Plus, a pedalboard dedicated to nothing but expression pedals - maybe even two exp. boards. I need a motorized scooter now to get to all the pedals. Half a block later, the song is long-since finished. The other bandmates are all standing on stage saying, "Where'd Rick go? "Oh, last time I saw him he was headed down there to tap a tempo 2 songs ago!" Haha! AAARRGGGHHH!!! Please! When does this ever end?! LOL I love you Strymon crazies! After playing guitar for 58 years now, I am finding new inspiration - quite simply - coming from plugging into these brilliant pedals. So much for that fancy new car I wanted to buy. (They're over-rated anyway.) Cheers. Stay tuned... 😎✌🎸

Hey there Rick - it definitely sounds like you're an ideal candidate for a MIDI controller with a couple of expression pedals!

[@rickfrancismusic]

@@strymon Oh ya. That's my endgame for sure. This has been a wild ride. It all started long, long ago (in April 202) with a BigSky. 9 pedals and a Zuma and an Ojai and a MultiSwitch Plus later... Lol

Fantastic!

Can the multi switch plus control more than one Strymon pedal? I have the Cloudburst with presets controlled by a multi switch plus but if I buy a Brig could I use my multi switch plus to control the presets of the two pedals? Thanks

I have the exact same question @strymon

I am having issues with just a FAV switch much less this MS+. Playing a song in Tap Tempo mode and hitting the FAV switch for a MIX boost works fine until you turn off the FAV switch - not only does it not return to the Tap Tempo tempo I was using but it reverts to thre On/Off mode. Wonder if this MS+ reverts to the tempo I had or whats on the knobs?

When using the Multiswitch can you have the pedal itself set up for tap tempo 1/8 notes and have the Multiswitch favorite footswitch set up for 1/8 note triplets with tap tempo? I’m basically wondering if I can freely footswitch between 1/8 note and 1/8 note triplet tap tempo without having to reach down and adjust any knobs or hold down any footswitches. So what I’m hoping is with the Multiswitch I can use the tap tempo footswitch anytime, and when the Favorite switch is off the tap tempo will be 1/8 notes and when the Favorite switch is on the tap tempo will be 1/8 note triplets. Please let me know, and thank you for your help!

What if you hit B again? Does it go back to what is on the pedal? Can you play over the infinite hold with the sound of the brig without that content being infinitely held?

[@jazzFABRYk]

What an awesome pedal! Is it possible to use the older multiswitch (instead of the newer plus) with the brig?

[@strymon]

Hey there! The older version of MultiSwitch Plus is only compatible with BigSky, Timeline, and Mobius .

[@jazzFABRYk]

@@strymon Thanks, that's a pity!

[@baseboardmatt]

Or I could just buy an ElCap with all those extra features built in and using less pedalboard real estate
