Each preset contains the following:

  • Any combination of the 12 loops
  • Up to 3 different MIDI commands (Program Change and/or Control Change)
  • The MIDI Channel that each command above is sent on, can be programmed (MIDI Channels: 0-15)

The 3 digit display indicates the bank and preset that the pedal is in.

Types of MIDI command

Each preset can send up to 3 MIDI commands, which can either be Program Change Commands (PC) or Control Change commands (CC). The number of each type of command that is sent can be selected, for example, 3 PC commands could be sent, or 1 PC command and 2 CC commands. The individual MIDI Channel that each command is sent on can be programmed.

The MIDI output can also be disabled if you want to use the pedal as a standard Programmable 12 Looper.

Multi-bank Mode

100 Presets are available, arranged in 10 banks of 10 presets. Switches 1 and 2 (the right two switches) are for changing banks.

The pedal can also be put into single bank mode, where all 12 switches are used for accessing presets.

Programmable vs On/Off Mode

Each switch can either be set to Programmable or On/Off mode. In programmable mode, the previously active switches disengage when a new switch is pressed. In On/Off mode, the previously active switches stay on when a new switch is pressed, allowing you to add to existing effects. Holding a switch down for longer than 5 seconds will toggle between modes - the corresponding switch will flash 8 times to indicate the mode has been changed.

Master Bypass

Re-press the active switch to bypass all loops (In programmable mode)

FX Loop Option

Selecting the FX Loop option above allows some of the loops to be routed through the FX Loop in your amp. This option adds two extra sockets to the pedal allowing it to be connected to the FX Loop Send and FX Loop Receive sockets on your amp.

Highly customizable loop switcher.

I learnt the hard way that tap dancing around pedals is a bad idea. So, I decided to go for a loop switcher. I went for this loop switcher instead of readily available ones from name brands because of the customization options offered by Buzz Electronics. The options for volume pedal insert, & pre tone-stack and post tone-stack loops is quite nifty.

The brain of my pedalboard.

This loop switcher does a fine job in managing my effect pedals. The one I use has 4 loops configured to be used before the amp and 8 loops configured to be used in the amps effects loop.
