EarthQuaker Devices Flexi Loops Dual Effects Loop Switcher Pedal

Now that you've amassed that impressive collection of pedals and effects, make the most of them! The EQD Flexi Loops utility pedal creates two separate loops that allow a range of routing configurations. For example you could have two separate effect loops for different guitars/moods/genres instead of having a long complex and potentially tone-sucking single loop. Or use it to patch out to a tuner, or have a direct loop and an effects loop. It needs power to operate the Flexi-Switch relays, but the signal is all passive and you can feed signals any direction you choose. It's versatile and rugged, built with the same level of quality are every Earthquaker device. The Flexi Loop puts more power at your feet.

In the words of Earthquaker Devices.....

The EarthQuaker Devices Flexi Loops™ is a dual effects loop featuring our world-renowned Flexi-Switch Technology®!

Using an effect loop switcher on your pedalboard allows you to easily remove all your effects from the signal path, creating a path of least resistance to maintain full tonal integrity when they aren’t in use. Using a dual effect loop with Flexi-Switch Technology allows you to create two distinct loops of effects and then introduce or remove them all on the fly with ease! 
 
You aren’t just limited to using the Flexi Loops as a loop switcher! You can use one channel as a tuner out/mute or even a plain old mute. Use the sends to run out to different sources and easily select between them!
 
The Flexi Loops uses high quality, soft touch momentary switches for durability and quick action to ensure a lifetime of switching enjoyment. This device is entirely passive and there is no circuitry in the signal path but it will require power for the relays to pass signal.

Flexi-Switch® Technology

This device features Flexi-Switch® Technology! This relay-based, true bypass switching style allows you to simultaneously use momentary and latching style switching.

• For standard latching operation: tap the footswitch once to activate the effect and then tap again to bypass.

• For momentary operation: hold the footswitch down for as long as you’d like to use the effect. Once you release the switch the effect will be bypassed.

Since the switching is relay-based, it requires power to pass signal.

Power

This device takes a standard 9 volt DC power supply with a 2.1mm negative center barrel. We always recommend pedal-specific, transformer-isolated wall-wart power supplies or multiple isolated-output supplies. Pedals will make extra noise if there is ripple or unclean power. Switching-type power supplies, daisy chains and non-pedal specific power supplies do not filter dirty power as well and let through unwanted noise. DO NOT RUN AT HIGHER VOLTAGES!
