Since I seem to have a bit of a pedal thing going on at the moment, here's the results of a discussion on the BassChat forum. Not an original concept but i decided to give it a try.
Here it is hooked it up to my Bass Chorus.
It takes the effect output and feeds the signal back into the start of the chain to thicken up the sound.
Loop/bypass is chosen on the 3PDT footswitch, feedback is selected with the mini DPDT toggle switch.
Each has it's own indicator LED.
It works really well, it is true bypass and silent switching. the battery is only there for the LED's so it will still work fine unpowered.
I used a 470K pot I had lying around but you don't really get to hear the feedback until over half way, so probably a 250k pot would be fine.
Here's the schematic I sketched for it.
In use, it really thickens and deepens the chorus effect, sounds really spacey, like a chorus and a bit of flange superimposed over one another, which is hardly surprising I suppose since its feeding part of the chorus output back into its input. Don't turn above 9 or you get a horrible squeal.
Yet to try it on other stompboxes, maybe looping and feedbacking a Tubescreamer would be wicked
