I"m having a local music repairman custom build me a pedal that I designed
for my own idiosyncratic stomp box pedal.

When completed I'll call it the WALKER MANUAL GLITCH pedal
and what it does is very simple (and oriented towards after the recording
manipulation of a live loop):

It will have four momentary styled switches (like the kind used on a Gibson Echoplex)
that will be space equally apart but close enough so that you can either put
three fingers from one hand and one on another , or two fingers from each hand
on the four knobs.

Then there will be a simple toggle switch.

In the UP position, the pedal will pass all stereo audio only to be interrupted, when the four buttons are played manually
in the DOWN position, the pedal will ONLY pass stereo audio when the four buttons are played manually

In this way, one can selectively MUTE audio in rhythm ways or let audio pass through in rhythmic ways
or you can use the speed of the buttons to very, very rapidly 'glitch' out small parts of the passing audio.

It's designed to simulate, manually, the kinds of VST plugins that 'gate' , "slice and dice" or 'glitch' audio.

*************************
I love the idea of taking a long solo that is looped and then manually screwing with it and re-looping it.
Because the pedal is after the loop................all 'glitching' will be essentially non-destructive so you can
always retrigger the loop without glitching.

This may only appeal to me as a live looper and a drummer but I've always wanted such a thing to exist
and now, dammit, there will be one.

I'll give you the honest review of it when it is finished. It's it's really cool, I'll be able to have them custom made for
people. I'm sure it won't be super cheap because they'll be hand made but at least it will exist.
