Headshot built me a new pedalboard - composite board that is covered with black laminate and trimmed with aluminum channel trim. It also has 2 handles on either side and rubber feet on the bottom. It looks very professional performed very well at my gigs this past weekend. I also finally had a chance to use Skreddy's Dual Loop Switcher which I have setup for clean and dirty loops so I could have some compression on the clean stuff and eliminate it completely for the dirty stuff. Here is the layout:

Fralin loaded guitars => Pedal-Racks A/B switch: "B" => Korg DT-7 Tuner. "A" => Skreddy Dual Loop Switcher ["B" => Cream Tangerine Compressor (clean) - "A" => Millenium Overdrive => Brontoboost (dirty)] => Guyatone MD-3 Delay => Jacques Meistersinger Analog Chorus => EH Holy Grail Reverb => BJF Baby Pink Booster => Dr Z Carmen Ghia heads => Dr Z 2x12 Z-Best cabinet.

My TIM Overdrive was supposed to arrive on Saturday. Paul Cochrane said it was shipped Friday for overnight delivery, but here it is Tuesday and it still has not arrived yet. That will replace the Millenium - if it ever gets here.

Skreddy's Dual Loop Switcher was the big star though. It functioned wonderfully and made life much easier - not to mention it helped solve my compression issues. My tone actually seemed a bit better since my clean signal was running through less gear (no OD's) and it was so much nicer to be able to select which overdrive I wanted to use for a song, turn it on when I wanted (before it was actually needed) then hit the switch on the dual loop to simultaneously cut the compression and introduce the OD when it was time to solo.

This is a very cool arrangement and I feel stupid that I had not considered this sort of thing before now. This is one of the coolest pedal purchases I've ever made and I would encourage you guys who are running a long chain of pedals to consider a similiar move and get Skreddy to build one of these things for you too. It just seems to make so much more sense to isolate the clean and dirty signal paths plus it solved a couple of other problems for me too. And it's such a cool looking pedal too! Thanks again, Skreddy!

Thats my next project. I know how to build the loops and such, I just need to figure out the LEDs for each channel. can anyone help?? =)

I'm trying to find room on my pedalboard for my axess so I can switch pedals on and off.It's really cool it brings series of pedals in and out of the loop.

Skreddy himself posted all you could need here in a previous post

The led are optional if you wanna use a dpdt but for led you need a 3pdt (thats what the poles on the right are for on his drawing)

Glorbz is working on mine it will be the coolest looking pedal on my board

ive been waiting here for hours to meet you Mr King...why in the hell didnt you come down to my new club?

Yeah, here's the basic Dual Loop Schematic.

This doesn't cover the power supply switching and the DC adapter, though (which are handled precisely the same way as any other powered pedals; for example, the Tremulous Bear). Here's how mine looks inside if you'd like to try making a Dual Loop yourself.

I'm waiting on parts; I'll build a few more when I can.

thanks guys, gonna mess with this tomorrow after I put my old delay pedal back together.
