Pedalnetics makes some really smart Pedal Switching Devices which fully match the pedal profiles they're intended for
I’m a little late with this - even Josh Scott beat me to the punch here - while I had always intended to do an overview article for Pedalnetics - this is just when I finally got to that task!.
Pedalnetics in the main makes various switching devices which wholly fit with the profile of the target pedals they are intended for, it also makes pedal-risers and patch-bays, as well as colourful replacement knobs for Halo Devices. The switches are either stand-alone and simply connected, or consist of plates that sit underneath the pedal - much like the ones from Barn3 - which are mostly made for Eventide pedals.
Pedalnetics has rolled out several variants - to fit with Boss, Line 6, Source Audio and Strymon pedals in particular, as well as the JHS application featured here!
Prices are generally very reasonable. You may recall that I did a piece on Rogue Rehousing - for that custom modded JHS Morning Glory - which cost more than the original pedal! Well this Mini Remote solution featured here is a much more cost-effective way to go!
The Range of Pedalnetics devices is fairly substantial - where I’ve simply included 4 of the most popular applications - as below! :
Facia-Mounted Mini Remotes - from $35
pedalnetics.com/product/jhs-miniremote/
Need tiny switches which come with self-adhesive strip - that allows you to mount on the pedal facia - in a position of your choosing - the design is naturally raised somewhat higher than the original switch.
These come in Black and Red colourways - where they are $40 for JHS variant 3D Printed Plastic, and $50 for Milled Anodized Aluminium edition. These are available in Custom, JHS, Source Audio and Strymon editions.
Pod Express Aux Plate - $70
pedalnetics.com/product/podexpress-auxplate/
A plate with dual footswitches - which mechanically fastens onto the base of the original pedal - utilising slightly longer screws to secure the base to the pedal.
Note that the above video is for the wider XL version of the Aux Plate - while the visual refers to the standard edition - which just covers the width of the pedal!
HX Stomp Front Aux 3 MIDI - $94
pedalnetics.com/product/hx-stomp-frontaux3-midi/
These Triple Switch types are made especially for the Line 6 HX Stomp - the ones pictured are just a device that sits in front of the pedals - while there are additional plate variants for this design also - which can be fitted to the underside of those pedals.
Strymon Small Box Profile-Matching Favourite / Mini Switch - $49
pedalnetics.com/product/strymon-profile-matching-favorite-switch/
Really smart dedicated Strymon Favourite / Mini Switch types - which can sit either side of the pedal - and wholly match that pedals curvature - i.e. for the Compact Strymon Series - like the Cloudburst. You can choose the relative position of that second Footswitch - as to whether it aligns horizontally with the one on the Srymon pedal, or is slightly offset from it - your choice!
There is also a switching device that fits the profile of the square Strymon Pedals.
There are no illustrative videos for this particularly application yet!
