Flexible Pedal Control Unit:
Build your own Pedalboard Controller !
- processor controlled
- easy-to-read display
- 32 banks of 4 patches each
- 8 Loops with optional Bi-Amping
- Input board with linear driver and Tuner-Out
- Allows to build a reduced-parts-version:
- 4 Loops instead of 8
- without linear driver
- without Tuner-Out
- 10 instead of 32 banks
This is a huge project with so many possibilities for you!
Upcomming (still some weeks to go):
- 12/16 Loops extension board
- MIDI interface (either activate stored presets or control loops directly via MIDI program change commands)

Fits in a small case of 19×12 cm:
Finally: the frontplate is done.
Update on the progress of V2.1 and V3.0:
Revision 2.1:
- Manual mode to be able to switch the effect loops directly – in addition to just retrieving the stored presets.
- 16 loop extension board to control up to 16 loops in total
Revision 3.0:
All of 2.0 and 2.1 and
- Up to 16 switches to control the unit. (Not sure yet how they will be used. Using 8 instead of 4 switches for the manual mode seem to be one idea)
- MIDI interface to control the unit
- – control the PCV3.0 from another device (Like the Line6 HD 500) to activate presets or control single loops
- – use SysEx to save and restore/migrate the programmed configurations
- – send Program Change messages to control other devices
