I’m considering adding remote footswitches to my 'foogers so that I can have the pedals on a table but turn them on and off with my foot. The internal footswitch is just a simple momentary switch with two contacts so I can easily put a remote switch in parallel. My question is: is this likely to cause any problems? Could it cause noise/instability?
I am also considering switching systems that would bypass the pedals altogether (e.g. loop-master.com), but they make things much more complicated and messy.
I’m about to get into the same thing - let me know how your journey goes! I play guitar and have been thinking about this problem for a while.
The best solution I have found is investing in a matrix switcher (sound sculpture - Switchblade GL). This way, you can just buy one midi foot controller and the switchblade turns them on and off. You put it all into a portable rackmount, and you don’t have to worry about dozens of cables. The cool thing about this way is that you can change the order, from series to parallel, or basically anything. You could also set up one button to bypass all the effects at once. Downside is its damn expensive.
They use all momentary switches so easy enough to run the same in parallel. I had my Diamond ML II modified to support remote tap tempo and modified (myself) my Boss RC-2 Looper (it’s tight in there!).
Common problem of needing desk or rack mounted equipment but needing foot control but easy to fix. As for warranty void’age, just put it in a good location and be neat with your soldering work; I’m sure Moog will be forgiving. Or, if uncomfortable, you can mail it to them and I’m sure they’ll accommodate in their unofficial ‘custom shop’ for 1 hr. labor. Give a call to Tech support and inquire.
