yes - on a built in - there is a schematic for the relay - posted a couple of months ago.

Do you bypass the volume pots with a relay? I think it would be cool to use the d-lator as a boost with a loop in and out option to boost the solo's in a gig situation.

The previous relay set up switched the whole thing out but you could just relay the jacks in and out allowing pass through without effects and still get the benefit of the gain stage at whatever levels you had set for the effects.

Hmm, I hadn't ever heard of the Rodenberg loop or Flexloop 3D.

Quote:
The Return Level 2 control can be used as an Adjustable Gain or Solo Switch
Apparently they don't make the loop anymore.

Hmmm, that sounds interesting.
I wonder if I could add that to my D'lator?

And last but certainly not least, the Flexamp 5.
Five channels!

He must have stock in JJ tubes! :shock:

That loop looks well built.

Have any idea how they wired the return for the boost?
