Voodoo Lab

So I am in the middle of wiring my pedal board and need a little bit of help. My current pedal layout is as follows:

DIRECT: Volume pedal (tuner on side chain) > Compressor > FreqOUT > OCD > Fuzzgod > Katana Boost > Amp Input

EFFECTS LOOP: Send > Chorus (TBD) > Carbon Copy Delay > Hall of Fame > Infinity looper > Return

I want to get this setup on my PX8 and I read that you can sacrifice a loop in order to get a better Direct/Effect loop split (3 / 4 instead of 2 / 6) and I was thinking of doing that. I envision the layout would be this:

DIRECT:
Volume pedal (tuner) > Compressor (I always have this on) > PX8 input > FreqOUT (Loop 1) > OCD (Loop 2) > Fuzzgod (Loop 3) > Katana Boost (Loop 4) > Loop 5 Send to Amp Input

EFFECTS:
Loop 5 Return from Effect Send > Chorus (TBD) (Loop 6) > CC Delay (Loop 7) > Hall of Fame (Loop 8) > PX8 Output to Infinity Looper (always on) > Effects Return

I understand that this will make Loop 5 unusable and it will always need to be on for everything to work. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks to all you pedal heads out there in advance!

Hi there,
Does your PX-8 have the Insert? If it does can’t you just use that for your amp and then you still have loop 5 for before your amp.

It does have the insert. But my goal here is to have more than two loops for my effects loop. I've read that what I suggested above would allow me 3 loops for my effects loop and 4 loops for my direct chain. I've got too many pedals for the typical group of two and six.

Hi there,
Just give it a go, it will work though.
Will there be any you will always use together? Maybe have them in 1 loop.

If you get your chorus with midi, you could bypass it with midi and not have it in a loop.

It seems like you could do with a hex as well as your PX-8.
