value midi controlled fx loop

mr-mac

Any good value midi controlled loop(s) for fx out there?

I know there are some all singing all dancing options out there with 8 loops and amp control and everything at £100's but is there any simpler cheaper options with 1, 2 or maybe 3 loops?  That can be turned on or off with midi?

Thanks

Decibel 11 loop expander will do that.
Can get them second hand for less than £100

Or an RJM mini effects gizmo , but they're most £££

Other option could be one controlled by 1/4" latching as already have a midi to up to 6 channel control box.

Payne lab k-switch possibly s/h... 4 loops, can be controlled by footswitch or midi

Would need to find one s/h but very nice item indeed

Good luck with that. They're very new and very niche.

Have you got the MIDI controller already? You're just looking for a loop switcher that it can control?

Digitech Gsp1101 will be controlling it.  Being guitar on smoothound wireless and only a single cat 5 running to gsp from control 2 then don't want a loop switcher (which will sit in gsp's loop) to add to the cable runs so want something local to my small rack unit but keeping just the one foot controlled.

Could also control/switch something via 1/4" latching jacks as have a midi Nux amp channel switcher too.

Ah, may be found a cheap basic option.

Use a NUX PML2 only 2 loops and 1/4" remote controlled but my PMS2 would control it.

Popped up wanted add for pml-2.  Gets me going cheap and will let me see if actually going to find it useful or not before maybe looking for something midi with more loops and features.

the PML2 has two loops buts its an A/B box, so it'll be loop A or loop B. a patch cable across on of the loops would pretty much turn it into a 1 channel looper

For moment it will do for my initial experiment which is to have two routes in gsp's loop.  I do have other plans but wanna see if will get any use of the basic setup first.  And being they were silly cheap new it should serve purpose of testing for pocket change...

If i do use the a/b loops then will look at more comprehensive solution to add some alternative extra stuff.  Like the k-switch as it does midi presets and 1/4" to turn individual things on/off but not set on that as probs other options i haven't seen and not compared in huge detail the ones above as yet.
