Simple Switchers/Loopers

[JJJr]

New to switchers/loopers but hoping someone can recommend the most simple/budget friendly option as I really hate tap dancing on my pedal board these days and im not looking to complicate my set up any further with computer dashboards etc.

The only functionality Id really like is the ability to turn one pedal chain off and another on with a single press (flip-flopping??), dont need any digital fx or midi anything and would probably need max 3/4 physical switches. Id also like to be able to build pedal loops that are out of order in my signal chain but this isn't a game changer, thanks in advance!

I use a Voodoo Lab PX-8 plus, which I love, but it does not allow you to change the pedal order.

Welcome to the forum.

Now to the important stuff, sweet or dill pickles?

tc electronic Ditto is never a bad place to start with loopers.

For a switcher, I'd recommend TheGigRig QuarterMaster (or G3, if you need programmable) series or the One Control units.

If you really need flip-flop, then the QuarterMaster offers that.

If you need to switch between to separate loops a pedal like this is the perfect choice.

A/B Loop Selector (Select Between Two Pedals With One Stomp) (Clean Dirty) VERTICAL

With this pedal, you will be able to have two independent loops that will switch back and forth with just one stomp switch. Press it once you get loop A, press it again, you get loop B.

I used one like this (built for me by a friend of mine) for years.

If you see yourself doing more complex things in the future you should look for something bigger.

my favorite for this is a One Control black loop, it's small enough you can hit both switches at once, and they're clicky+instant

Minimal Series Black Loop with BJF Buffer (OC-M-BL2)

One Control Minimal Series Black Loop with BJF Buffer is an easy-to-use loop switcher that has the BJF Buffer-which can be bypassed on the input-and 2 DC outs to power other effects. It can be used as a loop switcher for true bypass or buffer bypass while supplying power to the effects connected...
