Looper Mono to stereo

[Guitafuzz]

Hello guys this is the trouble..... I'm building a six true bypass looper for a friend and he need a stereo loop at the sixth loop , anyone knows how to split the signal to the 2 switches, mantaining the true bypass without loss signal ? Thanks in advance for your help

Doing a stereo Bypass with an LED requires 5 poles to do it mechanically. You can do it with less if you go with an Opto-bypass scheme, but it's pretty complicated.

Best is to use Relays if possible. You'll need to basically set it up like this:

Loop 5 Mono Out > Buffer/Splitter In > Buffer Splitter out (stereo) > Loop 6 Stereo L and R In

Getting that Stereo Bypass is probably the most difficult of the process, and the most expensive. Unless you can find a 5 pole Mechanical stomp switch that's reliable, or use a 4 pole without the LED.
