Both channels at once

Do you think there is a way to activate 2 channels at once with a Dpdt toggle or stomp?

Are you thinking series or parallel?

Also what all options do you want? Each channel on its own and both together?

That's a great question. I would like to try both to see which sounds better.

That's  a really interesting idea. Series could be easy enough. Parallel however...would you need an summing amplifier to get the mix right?🤔

Would series just be matter of an spdt connecting outs 1 and 2?

You want one channel's output going into the other one's input, for series. For parallel, you could try what you suggested with the spdt. The mix might not be even though, depending on the output impedances of the 2 channels.  Could sound fine though, can't hurt to try.

What are you making Jimi? Is this a 2 channel pedal? Im at work now, but gimme some time and I can draw up a switching diagram later on. :)

It's the Gray Channel. The diagram above is how it is wired currently. Ideally, it would be a switchable mod.

I think Bugg is working on a simple switching system over at PedalPCB that looked pretty slick.  Jacob's Paralyzer takes an active approach and if you REALLY want to go down the rabbit hole his Epic Bypass looper is...well...epic.

Hey Jimi... please excuse hand drawn pic, I tried to use DIYLC, but it wouldn't run on my PC for some reason.

This should work to switch both channels on in parallel.  I'd invite you to test it works OK, you could use a 3PDT toggle  :)

Fantastic, thank you.
