While setting up my rig for coming tours i have come to realize a small problem which is the setup of the A/B box i plan to use.
Is there a Box that works in a similar way to what i have so beautifully depicted in the attached picture?

It's the only solution i have figured out that will let my delay(s) ring out after i have switched amps but without having the noise of a boost going in to the marshal when its not being used.

Any suggestions are welcome!
I guess i could have the box built by some company or guy but those custom builds tend to increase the price a bit..

Many thanks!

Why do you need the OD in a loop? Why not just run it off the B line straight in to they delay?

I'm pretty sure you could get what you want with some Lehle boxes. the SGoS lineup can be connected via MIDI and you can "program" them to send and receive patch change values. Slave a D.Loop SGoS to a Dual SGoS and you're in business. The Dual changes between the Vox and the Marshall. And it triggers the D.Loop to turn on when ever you switch to the Marshall line.

Won't be cheap.

Okay, so here is where I'm confused. When I read that, a simple a/b box seemed like it'd work. You want the delays to keep ringing after you switch? Is that all? It just seems like guitar > misc **** > a/b box a(delay > vox) b(OD > delay > Marshall) should get you where you need... When you switch passages, the delay will continue to ring out and create an interesting "soft change" in the texture... delay feedback fading out as the new sound kicks in hard.

I might just be acting dense and misunderstanding you though.

Oh. Wait. Your worry is the ambient noise of the marshall with the OD hitting it, isn't it? Easy choice in terms of gear is to just get good at tap dancing and turn the A/B and OD off at the same time. Other easy thing to do is consider how much noise the Marshall will really make in a live atmosphere while the Vox is going... It's often less noticeable than you'd imagine. Otherwise, the only thing I can think of is something custom that pulls the OD out of the signal when you switch to A as you described. If I'm remembering my switch layouts correctly, with some of the bigger switches, you could probably manage to make this happen. Off would go to A and on would go to B with the fuzz in line. Otherwise, you're stuck with expensive programming units that are probably more money than is justifiable.

Good read

hm, I think if you just put a gate after the OD but before the delay on your B channel, set the threshold so that it does nothing until no signal is passed through the OD. This would keep the noise from your OD from continuing after you switched amps but wouldn't affect the delays at all really.
