True Bypass Strip

Hey guys,

I'm thinking of building my own true bypass strip, and there's a certain mod I would like to do, but I don't know how to do it.

I am going to have 5 loops, a master bypass, and a tuner out.

The mod I would like consists of this: A single toggle-switch that would reverse the signal chain of loops 4 and 5, so that I can change wether the signal chain goes loop 3 into 4 into 5, OR loop 3 into 5 into 4.

Would anyone be kind enough to draw up a rough wiring design of the pedal for me?

Cheers,
James.

not about the reverse switching, but pedal parts plus sells drilled out, painted 5 loop strips, that's quite the niche product!

The only problem with that is that it is too small for 7 footswitches. I need 7 because of the Master Bypass and Tuner Out, in addition to the 5 loops.

Why not build one strip with five loops and another one for the Master Bypass and Tuner Out? ;)

How about putting a buffer on the output of the strip, to feed your amp AND the tuner at the same time?

That way, your signal is not loaded by the cable to your amplifier, and you don't have to cram 7 switches into the enclosure.
