Tone Loom Signal Blender
Tone Loom Signal Blender is an extremely compact, foot controlled, buffered signal blending tool for both Bass and Electric Guitar capable of many functions such as:
- Dry/wet blend with phase inversion (explained in the usage example below)
- Dual input blending
- Multi-pickup blending
- Volume control
- Aux tuner out with volume control
- Phase inversion with volume control
- Buffer, and more!
Usage Example: Perhaps the most obvious use for this pedal is as a clean blend or dry/wet blend for an effect wired in the loop, sometimes called a loop blender. Connect your guitar to input 1, then connect and activate the pedal you want to blend to the "Aux Out / Loop Send", and "Input 2 / Loop Return", and finally connect the "Output" to the next pedal in your chain or your amp. If the signal returning to the "Input 2 / Loop Return" jack is inverted from the signal at "Input 1" the "Phase" toggle switch can be flipped to the "Invert" position to invert it to avoid signal cancellation. Now, when the knob is turned to the left, it will simply be sending the signal which is connected to "Input 1" through to the "Output" (kind of like a bypass, or 100% dry). As the knob is turned to the right, the dry signal will be progressively mixed in parallel with the effect that is in the loop according to the position of the knob. When the knob is turned fully to the right, the plain dry signal will be totally off and only the signal going through the loop will be sent to the "Output", or 100% wet.
The Foot Knob: The unique custom design of the oversized knob allows you to easily control it with your foot for a dynamic playing experience. The knob is extra tall so that it can be placed directly next to most other pedals without risk of bumping them by accident during use. A light sweeping touch with your foot on the edge of the knob is all you need to change its position. With a bit of practice, this movement can be easily mastered. The knob has a black-on-white color scheme for high contrast which makes it very easy to monitor its position, even while standing up.
LED Indicator: The pinhole LED indicator is designed to be intentionally very small since this is essentially an "always on" device. The LED will not turn off until power is disconnected.
