Loopy

looper switcher avr

Loopy is a programmable loop switcher for guitar pedals with MIDI support.

LP8 is an 8 loop programmable guitar pedal switcher. LP422 rearranges the order of the loops to allow 4 in front of the amp, 2 in the send/return and 2 to be used as amp switcher (like for instance switching channels).

Loopy LP8 can be seen in action here:

As well as being capable of switching on and off individual loops, arbitrary combinations of loops can be enabled using presets. While Loopy can easily recall 16 presets using the built-in footswitches, it does actually allow to store 128 presets using its MIDI capabilities.

Please get in touch if you need clarifications on the usage.

How to build Loopy

Loopy is designed around mainstream components and an easy to drill template: all the holes are circular and can be easily made with a standard drill.

In the documentation you will find everything you need to build one, in either LP8 or LP422 configuration:

  • schematic
  • BOM
  • HEX firmware
  • build instruction
  • drilling template
  • manual
  • guides to choose the relay and the LED
