5-Looper
Five-loop true bypass switcher with aluminum chassis and professional footswitches, featuring optional volume controls for comprehensive pedalboard routing and level management.
The Saturnworks 5-Looper represents professional-grade solution for complex pedalboard routing, offering five independent true bypass loops in rugged 2.5 x 9.75 x 2 inch cast-aluminum enclosure. This handcrafted switcher is designed for serious musicians who need to manage large collections of effects while maintaining pristine signal integrity. Each of five loops features dedicated high-quality true bypass footswitch and multi-colored LED indicator, providing clear visual feedback about which loops are active. Pedal is built with heavy-duty Neutrik 1/4 inch jacks and high-quality wire manufactured in USA, ensuring long-term reliability and superior audio performance.
5-Looper's passive design offers exceptional flexibility and reliability. While unit can operate completely without power - making it immune to power supply failures - adding standard 9V DC center-negative power supply illuminates LEDs for enhanced visibility on dark stages. Power consumption is minimal, as electrical current only runs LED indicators while true bypass switching operates mechanically. This hybrid approach gives you best of both worlds: reliability of passive switching with convenience of visual feedback when power is available.
Key feature that distinguishes 5-Looper is available volume control option. This variant adds passive volume potentiometers to return of each channel, allowing you to trim output level of each loop independently. This is invaluable when dealing with pedals that have different output levels or when you want to add master volume control to specific effect chains. For example, you might reduce volume of your boost loop to prevent it from overwhelming your amp, or you can balance levels of different modulation effects to sit properly in your mix. These volume controls are passive, meaning they don't require power and maintain signal purity that true bypass switching provides.
5-Looper excels in both studio and live performance environments where precise control over complex signal chains is essential. Common applications include separating different gain stages, organizing modulation and time-based effects, routing to different amplifiers or signal paths, and isolating problematic non-true-bypass pedals. Ability to activate any combination of five loops provides 32 different switching combinations, allowing you to create wide palette of sounds without tap-dancing across your pedalboard. Backed by one-year limited warranty against parts and manufacturing defects, 5-Looper is built to professional standards and handcrafted in California.
