stanner Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 i do a solo show and have found it necessary to step on two pedals @ once...one is a distortion box and the other is a FS-5L latching pedal turning my loop on...so, one is part of the efx chain and the other is simply a switch...any suggestions? i'm stumped! (plus, i cant sit down to play-which would solve the problem) AMPSSOUNDBETTERLOUDER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dak Lander Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 Put 'em in a small pedal box & screw on a couple of hinges & screw a slat to the hinges. Step on the slat & it'll hit both pedals at the same time, figuring you've set them to the same height to button.

stanner Posted November 28, 2003 Author Share Posted November 28, 2003 hey good suggestion, 'cept... i also use these buttons individually-so i still need access separately AMPSSOUNDBETTERLOUDER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dak Lander Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 Well, in that case you should be able to rig a side pedal onto each side of the box that only hits one button & when you need both you stomp in the middle. Shouldn't be too hard. Our Joint "When you come slam bang up against trouble, it never looks half as bad if you face up to it." The Duke...

Blue Strat Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 Sounds like you need an AB box with a "Both" switch. You'd have two seperate loops, one with the distortion and one without.

revorhythm Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 easy solution if you have good foot coordination. pu the pedals side by side, then just step perpendicularly on both pedals at once. hot girls, fast cars, and even louder guitars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once saw a Weather Report concert wherein bassist Alphonso Johnson spent a considerable amount of time basically walking on his pedals, that is, not setting foot onstage just standing on the various pedals, leaning to balance the settings (as for wah). It was quite impressive---don't forget that showmanship counts for a lot to most audience members! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strat0124 Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 Actually I've used another amp as my boost, using an A/B switch. And it sounded HUGE. But it'd be easier using a hot pedal you like......I'm the master of overkill sometimes. Down like a dollar comin up against a yen, doin pretty good for the shape I'm in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
