Schmidt Array Patchbay And GigRig Remote Loopy 2

One of my favorite features of the Schmidt Array pedalboards are the patch bays. In this video, I show you how to use the GigRig Remote Loopy 2 in conjunction with the patchbay to give you the ability to quickly audition new pedals for your board.

Very helpful, I’ve been struggling to figure out the best way to have two pedals off the main board. I couldn’t figure out how to do it, it was the Loopy that makes the junction box do what I need.

+1 on the Cali76 Stacked Edition and Thorpy Camoflange. With tax, those two pedals alone are about $800 sitting on your board but somehow worth every penny.

The green and yellow are connected when nothing is plugged in. Does the patch work like you want it to? Something seems odd there. If nothing is in holding that feed both L1 & L2 imports together, or an I reading it wrong?

[@AlphatoneAudio]

Nothing is connected by default between any of the jacks on this patchbay, and everything worked as intended. Besides, regardless of what is plugged in or not, you can always disable the loop the Loopy 2 is plugged into for your standard signal flow.

Question. If the customer added the loopy 2 to his channel 10 on the G2, he essentially loses a channel and so it all becomes an 11 channel G2 instead of 12. Couldn't he (his guitar) just go in the Loopy 2, and then the Loopy 2 into the input of the G2? I am not sure what buffer the Loopy 2 has and what meg reading it has.

[@AlphatoneAudio]

I don't see any reason why you couldn't change the position of the Loopy 2 depending on your needs or what pedals you wanted to add into the chain. The only thing I would look out for is pedal order concerns and, as you noted, possible buffer/impedance changes this could create. You'll want to consult manuals or GigRig directly (their website is pretty user friendly) for info on the buffer specs. This was just what made the most sense for this customer and their board.

Question: loopy is in loop 10, does that mean you can only try one pedal at a time?

[@AlphatoneAudio]

The G2 turns on the loop the Loopy 2 is plugged into, but the Loopy 2 turns its own loops on or off. So, you could activate loop 10, but both loops on the Loopy 2 could be on, off, or one on and one off. Basically, the G2 is not controlling the individual loops on the Loopy 2 in this setup.

@@AlphatoneAudio thx…and the signal path is in front of the G3 if I’m not mistaken, so you can’t necessarily reorder those extra two pedals.

[@AlphatoneAudio]

@@Dixey3 Correct, no way to automatically reorder the two loops of the Loopy 2.
