Pedals in loops

I have recently designed a box to adapt high level loops to work with any pedals. It is powered with a wall wart (no battery), has in/out/send/return jacks with send and return levels. Easily solves the pedals in the loop issue once and for all. Planning to produce a small number of them that will sell direct for around $150(USD). I wan't to get an idea of how many to make before ordering parts, boxes, boards etc. Also would allow you to mix line level/rack gear with pedals in the same loop simuntaneously. Any interest??

I'd be interested. Is this foot switchable? That's not a deal breaker, just curious.
 
If this could be powered by the 9VAC for the optional reverb in the mod50, it would be great!
If not, still interested.
Kristian.
 
If this would replace my (questionable) Ebtech LLS-2 Line Level Adapter, I'm in.
 
This is not a loop or pedal switcher. It is just a little box with In/Out jacks that connect to your loop send/return or preamp out poweramp in (as in M4 out to RT2/50 in). The box has it's own send and return jacks that go to your pedals. There is a send knob and a return knob that allows you to match the level of your "system" to any pedal(s) or pedal board. Makes it so you can use troublesome pedals that overload easily in any loop or rack rig between the preamp and poweramp.

This part makes it even better. I'll go ahead and ask just because I'm curious, how does it do that? I guess I mean how do you avoid the mismatch within the loop of the rack unit to pedal unit?

UI went ahead and put myself on the list by e-mailing you. How long are we talking before they these are ready?

I am looking long term and short term and I see no bad side.
Short term should I decide to go with one of the many outstanding delays or chorus pedals on the market, done, no problem.
Long term let's say I ever do sell my mighty MOD50 (not going to happen, but just hypothetical) this would provide future users of the amp the loop fix designed by the amp builder/creator.

Winning!
 
Expect to have them ready around May 13. Happens to be Friday the 13th ! ! Coincidence?? The box has a high input impedance so it properly "loads" the effects send or preamp out. The send on the gadget is low impedance with a variable output level so you can match to virtually anything. The gadget return is high impedance and has a variable level to compensate for any send level adjustments/loss. The output from the gadget is low impedance to properly match any effects return or power amp input. The included wall wart/adapter is 18 volts DC for line level signals. Uses all 1/4" jacks (except for power). Has a little bypass switch on the side to A/B with/without the box. Not rocket science. Just a great tool to solve a long term issue. Virtually transparent so there is no change in tone or level, even when you switch the effect pedals in/out.
 
Sorry to bump this one, but after today's experiment, I'm getting to the point that I'll NEED one of these.
I can hear a definite amount of volume loss when using the Ebtech LLS-2.

Did you e-mail Bruce and get on the list?

Yep, the second he posted this announcement; I was just reinforcing how useful this device will be.
A user on the MTS forum was saying that he has the LLS-2, works fine, etc; mine definitely affects the volume output. I typically leave all of my module volumes set the same - noticed a difference without the LLS-2 afterward.

Yea, I got on the list right away too!
The Ebtech is okay, but has its limitations for sure.
 
out of curiosity, if we emailed to get on the list, do we get a confirmation? I haven't, and don't really expect one, but was just seeing if maybe other people have and that's what's going on.
