Foot Switch Strip
The switch strips behaves the same as in the platforms. When connecting using the Foot switch-5 to LiberaToe-4, there is additional foot switch for tap tempo that the LiberaToe–4 platform does not provide. We created this foot switch since sometimes you may want the pedalboard nearer to your hands and not on the floor. This allows you to achieve far better flexibility and swiftness in playing, rather than stomping foot switches while bending forward and adjusting knobs by hand.
Pedal Connections
You can engage incumbent pedals in the LiberaToe signal chain by using our pedal connection modules: 1X occupies one slot to provide 2 sets of send/return loops or 2X occupies two slots to provide 4 sets of send/return loops. On the other hand, with the Gnavatar module, which has two sets of send/return loop (though its main purpose is semi-mix of several signals), your existing pedals also can be a part of the LiberaToe system's signal chain. Filling all the slots with a mix of 1X and 2X allows you to connect upto
12 pedals to the LiberaToe-6, or up to 8 pedals to the LiberaToe-4.
Dalgona Loop Switcher
The Dalgona Switcher is a fixed preset switcher and multi-functional junction box that switches 3+2 effects based on pure analog true bypass.
6 Functions in a Box!
a) 3+2 automatic switcher – one step switching without tapdance
b) 4CM junction box – converted to 4CM connection by one switch flip
c) External gear control - turn on/off of LC/LO observance gears
d) Amp selector – one guitar to up to 4 amps
e) Guitar selector – one amp to up to 5 guitars
f) Match maker – match between 3 guitars and 3 amps
Out of the three loops in the center (Coffee, Tea, Soda), only one loop is always ON. The Dalgona loop behind the three loops can be set to automatically turn on together with the Coffee or Tea loop, that means you can turn two loops together – Tea and Dalgona, or Coffee and Dalgona - at once. Two setting toggles are located in the rear pannel. (You can have a sip of coffee or tea alone or with dalgona as a topping) You can also turn on the Dalgona loop by physically pushing the foot switch regardless of the toggle settings.
The signal that goes through 3 loops (Coffee, Tea, Soda) is designed to go through only one path at any moment, and so the need for an input buffer is minimized thanks to the short signal path.
Juice loop is stand-alone, apart from Dalgona and group of Coffee, Tea, Soda (juice has enough freshness and sugar, so have it alone).
4CM (4 Cabling Method)
The Dalgona switcher also can be utilized as a 4CM (4 cable method) junction box. You have A/B selection between a Juice loop or a Soda loop (you may choose either sweet juice or a soda) in this application. Dalgona loop can be added behind the Soda loop via a Dalgona foot switch.
The In and Out cables stay the same between 2CM and 4CM without changing, which means no hassle to replace the cable. When using 4CM, the central 3 foot switches for Soda, Tea, and Coffee do not work; therefore, turn ON/OFF with each foot switch of the individual pedals connected to the Soda and Tea loops. Coffee loop is diverted to the connection to Amp SEND/RETURN in this 4CM usage.
External Gear Control
The Dalgona switcher is capable of controlling external equipment, such as a two-channel amplifier, a single-channel amplifier with reverb, or any other devices that adhere to the LC/LO convention (latch closed or latch open).
Upon pressing the Juice foot switch, it toggles between channel 1 or 2 on your amplifier or activates/deactivates Tip-connected gear. Similarly, when you press the Dalgona foot switch, it activates or deactivates the reverb on your amplifier or Ring-connected gear. The LC or LO mode can be chosen using a toggle switch.
Please be aware that MC/MO (momentary closed or momentary open) configurations are not supported.
Multi-purpose Junction Box
Dalgona switcher can be also used as a multi-purpose junction box.
A) Output selection
Select one from up to 4 amplifiers to connect a guitar.
Connect a guitar with one out of 4 cases: Amp 1, Amp 2, Amp 3, and combination of Amp 4 & an Effect.
Select connection with a guitar from 4 cases: Amp 1, Amp 2, a combination of Amp 2 and an effect, another combination of Amp 2 and other effects.
Select connection with a guitar from 4 cases: Amp 1, Amp 2, a combination of Amp 3 and an effect, another combination of Amp 3 and other effects.
B) Input selection
Choose one from 5 guitars to connect with an amp.
C) Guitars & Amps Matching
In the case of matching 3 guitars and 3 amplifiers, a total of 4 types of matching can be selected: connecting guitar 1 with amplifier 1 or 2, and when connecting guitar 2 or 3 with amplifier 3.
Below is another variation of guitars and Amps matching.
The above cases are part of many application examples. More applications can be made by applying the Dalgona switching structure, including the half-normalled scheme adopted to all the loops.
D) Half-Normalled Loop
Below are some examples of applying half-normalled structure.
