This is a box with a single true-bypass loop and a tuner out I had custom made for me by MonkeyFX. There's just two footswitches, one for the loop and one for the tuner out, as well as two bright LED's to see what is currently activated, powered by a 9V battery.
I run all my effects (minus my delay) in the loop (Big Muff, Marshall Bluesbreaker, Boss Mega Distortion, Tokai Phaser, Danelectro Tremolo), so using this box I can go from a heavey wall of distortion and effects to completely clean just by hitting one switch.

This unit doesn't colour my tone at all as far as I can tell, I've A/B'd it with the unit in my effects chain, and straight into my amp from m guitar, and the bypass seems to add no noise or change the sound in any way.

When I received the loop selector I opened it up to have a look at the quality of the wiring. It all seems to be of the highest quality, and the metal case doesn't seem like it will fall apart any time soon.

Andi (MonkeyFX) was always quick to reply to my questions, and made the whole process very quick and easy. He built the unit to my exact specifications, and it was delivered in a very short time.

This is a rugged and well-constructed unit. I've been using it for gigs since I got it, and the LEDs are bright enough to be seen easily on the stage. If a problem did ever occur with it, I'm sure MonkeyFX would easily be able to solve any problems.

This is a custom made footpedal that has two loops and a bypass switch.
my set up is as follows, in loop 1 I have my Tech 21 GT2 and my Boss Turbo overdrive, in Loop 2 I have my Zoom Hyper Lead pedal,(mega gain, a great pedal that's built like a tank) when the signal comes out of the loop pedal it goes to an Ernie Ball Volume pedal, then to 2 Boss DD5 pedals. This pedal basically is like a three channel amp; Hit the bypass switch and the signal goes straight through, hit the bypass switch again and you are going through either loop 1 or 2 depending on how you have pressed the second footswitch, Clean, Crunch and Lead at the touch of a footswitch, with different coloured L.E.D.s so you know where you are.

This is a great pedal, I bought it to replace my Boss Line selector pedal because the Boss seemed to add a suble difference to my tone, and with the Boss you had to press the pedal twice if you wanted to go from loop A top bypass (with loop B sounding in the process!)
Check out Andi's website at www.monkeyfx.co.uk and see what he could build for you.
