SimonK Posted May 25 Posted May 25 Just saw this on facebook and can't help think someone has missed the point of pedals in that having the flexibility to changes things is the main draw. Nevertheless there is a bit of me that things this is otherwise quite cool, and I am aware that some touring musicians (e.g. Ed Sheeran) do something similar to reduce faff on stage... 1 2 Quote

LukeFRC Posted May 25 Posted May 25 How odd to have the pcb mounted on the footswitch and off board all the pots. Quote
Rosie C Posted May 25 Posted May 25 I kinda like the idea. But I'd want to see the inside as one mahoosive PCB rather than all those circuit boards and flying leads. Quote

fretmeister Posted May 25 Posted May 25 It’s awesome. the pcb’s are separate because it’s just their regular pedals mounted in a box. 2 Quote

KingBollock Posted May 26 Posted May 26 (edited) That’d be cool if each pedal was separate and each in its own box. With each box being exactly the same shape and size with perfectly squared off sides, they could be joined together with magnets, so that they would fit snuggly. This would allow for them to be joined, electrically, by metal plates, or more magnets, instead of jack sockets and plugs. (I hope I have described that well enough) You’d end up with something similar but more versatile. Slowly trying to think this through… You’d need “end boxes” that allowed for extra connections. They could be used to allow leads to be plugged into jack sockets, and also power. You would need four of them, I think. One for the end of each row. You’d need a patch lead to go from the end of the bottom row to the start of the top row. I’m sure I am missing something else… Edited May 26 by KingBollock Quote

I’m sort of envisioning each side having a couple of small, embedded magnets, to hold the enclosures together and also for positioning, to keep them aligned. The instrument connection, from box to box (apart from the end/terminal boxes, which would have a jack socket, too), which would be a couple of metal pads. It would eliminate the need for patch leads and take up less pedalboard space. Of course, you’d be stuck with only that type of enclosure. 1 Quote

You could have connections on all four sides and a couple of rotary selector switches to choose which side is in and which is out. And routing boxes to build up send/return loops, split signal chains etc, and DI boxes... I think you might have reinvented the effects pedal! 1 Quote

That's a much more elegant solution than in the OP - although somewhat more work! Edited May 27 by SimonK Quote
