RE: Custom EDP ECHOPLEX Footswitches with Boss Pedals

[phillip wilson <phillwilson@hotmail.com>]

this worked pretty well for me in a similar situation as long as you didnt leave anything "open" on the first set for instance in my set up I had my home made FCB replacement , then a splitter (A OR B) theneach of these connected into each echoplex via a Y cable , then the spare input of each Y cable being summed back to another echoplex controller via yet another Y cable (controlling A AND B) If I had left one of the echoplexs on overdub then began using the A AND B controller, it obviously began cycling one echoplex overdub on and the others off (which actually once i was awar of it could be REALLY COOL for distributing one signal over a stereo pair)
