Low Tech Origin FX Loop Solution...

Just curious, if you short the Tip and the Ring, would you get Loop = OFF and Boost = ON?

maybe but loop is off by default so at that point might as well just leave it unplugged and engage the pull knob for boost

I assume you could also just spin the original body cover back on and just label that, as well?

not sure what you mean, like just put the cap back on the jack? yeah that's what these are, i just labeled it so i could figure it out if i'm a few beers deep

these are the ones i used btw except they were the TRS type https://westcoastpedalboard.com/product/patch-cable-plug-square-plug-sps5/

I do like using the 2 button footswitch for both the boost and the loop. One day I do want to make a single button footswitch that makes the loop stay on all the time and switches the boost on and off with the switch. I love the built in boost so I will always want that switchable.

Just put a TRS cable in a 1-button footswitch.
Short the tip to sleeve and switch the ring to sleeve.

yeah it’s definitely useful to run the footswitch so you can have those options, but some will run the amp other ways that make having to plug in the footswitch to have the loop on just a pain in the ass

i typically use my guitar’s controls to get a clean sound because i have treble bleed caps installed, so switching the boost is pointless and i want the loop on all the time. im also building a 3 channel preamp to run into the fx return of this amp (or any amp really) so i’ll be bypassing the front end completely making the boost irrelevant. these dummy cables give me options
