I know a Launchpad doesn't do this... but is it possible?

Postby jpleong » Sun Aug 02, 2015 3:49 pm

So, here's my situation... I run a dual amp modeler setup that I like to run in "stereo" when I'm recording but have to run mono for live use.

What I enjoy doing is playing with polarity/phase per song to get the most out of my sounds. Each modeler path has their own dirtboxes which interact differently with one another from setting to setting. It's easy enough to mess with in the studio, as I can hit the polarity button on the mixing console or DAW, but live I would like something footswitchable that I can adjust on the fly.

Ideally, I could have a fully variable phase control like the what's on the Radial Phazer to locate the tonal sweet spot but, now, I'd settle just for something that flips 180°. The closest things I've found on the market are either the aforementioned Radial Phazer (fully variable) or the Suhr Buffer (simple flip). Both are non-footswitchable and both require external power (the circuit to flip phase/polarity doesn't actually require power, if I recall correctly).

Is it possible to build something like this cheaply (relative to it being a one-off) or is there something that already does this that I don't know about?

Thanks!

There is no "cheap" path to a custom unit, the design time to make a mature device would likely be prohibitive. I'm surprised there is not provision for phase in a modeler, it's easy stuff to include in each model.
