There are several brands that offer similar external effect loop switching functions but this is the simplist, lowest priced and most compact model I've seen. Look around and buy it from the lowest price supplier. Today the best price I could find was $27.98 each. I bought three of them for under $25 each when I first found them. The price of this pedal varies depending on who you purchase it from. Overall the construction seems to be quality and heavy duty. The loop box is a compact cast aluminum enclosure. A single loop box pedal lets me switch the combination of the distortion and EQ with a single button press. I have a 5150 overdrive pedal that I like to use with a graphic EQ. I put that graphic EQ into the loop of a loop box so I can switch the EQ in and out. I have a Boss graphic EQ with a dead footswitch, it is stuck in the ON position. I don't run all the reverbs at once but the loop box allows me to remove the whole string with a single button press. I'm currently evaluating a string of seven reverb pedals, I have the complete string of all the reverbs daisy-chained together and they are switched on with a loop box. I always assumed he had a big loop of various effects which were switched in and out with a single button press. Tom Scholz used a pedal with this kind of function on the first Boston tour, his was labled "Kitchen Sink". When bypassed the Loop Box passes signal unaffected. The true bypass footswitch makes the external loop active or not. The left light means the loop is out of the signal path, the right light means the loop is in your signal path. Two bright blue LED's indicate the status of the loop. The Send and Return comprise the external loop connections.
There is a Return jack on the upper left which returns the signal from the external device. Now for the loop, there is a Send on the upper right which feeds your signal out to an external device input.
You'll find the pedal input jack on the right and the output on the left. The power inlet drives the LED indicators. The pedal still switches without DC power. This is a compact pedal that has an external 9-volt DC power inlet which is wired according to the negative-inner/positive-outer standard (same as Roland and Boss). It provides you with an external loop that can be switched in or out of your guitar signal path. The Mosky loopbox is a true bypass footswitch in a box. It is not a "looper" of the variety that allows you to compose music and play along with yourself. This is an incredibly useful pedal that lets you make a single pedal or a whole chain of pedals into a single switchable effect.įirst lets clarify what this pedal is and is not. The Mosky Mini Loop Box is another one of those fun discoveries I found on Amazon.
