Pedal switchers

Late to the conversation, but I'm extremely happy with the Voodoo Lab switcher. It's nowhere close in features as the G3, but it works well and the form factor can't be beat.

That said, I'd love to have a G3.

Holy shit, that board

I was actually just looking at that voodoo lab switcher because I can 2-day it via Amazon vs a couple weeks with the quarter master 10 having to ship across the seas. (Restless toan syndrome)

The pull of the G3S is hard, but I’m like “I could just by a Jazz Chorus 120 + a couple more pedals, for that kind of cash”.

(Also: excellent film!)

Funny, LOVED it back when it first came out. Tried watching it recently and found it really slow and a bit boring.
Only one thing really held up well....

I’ve been debating over the GigRig Quartermaster Q8 & Q10 for a week or so ??
I finally pulled the trigger on a Q10 earlier .
I just wanted a simple to use switcher so I don’t have to program anything or tap dance about .
My studio pedals are all on draws in a rack so easy to use from a chair .

Good unit.

I really dig the GigRig G3 I have, but it is feckin' HUGGGEEEEEEEE. I've been contemplating downgrading to the G3 Atom.

One of the things I like about the GigRig Quartermaster switchers is you can add more pedals to it under the board that can be switched on only when needed which is really handy.

I call it the "let's just get this thing working -> ok now it works -> eh, can't be bothered to make it better" routing method.

Red Green says “Now, this is only temporary - unless it works”.

It’s the least likely to mess with your tone in front of the amp that I have found.

Yeah, sounds quite a bit better than the Boss stuff at least.

I use the Fender one. Meets my needs and seems transparent. But it’s the only one I’ve tried.

It’s the best there is atm.

The GigRig Quartermaster 10 arrived earlier this morning
It’s a nice well made bit of kit

Now the hard part of deciding which pedals are going on the board begins ??

Best simple switcher available.

How are you getting on with it?

I’ve finally landed on something approximating “done” (lulz) on the pedal front and am hunting for a gigantor board. (Which is a nightmare in its own right.)

I’m 51% sure I’m going to end up going QM10, with the thought of using one loop to route into my rack to slap amps and then get the return back, then using the last loop to route to the stereo pedals which I’ll just route to my patch bay directly, bypassing the QM mono output.

The only thing that keeps me G3S-curious is the ability to do parallel routing and insert dry-through all in that box, versus incorporating the GFI Duophony in its own subsection of the board.
