Loop-Master Pedals Dual TRS Aux Footswitch – 2 NO + 2 NC Momentary – Boss / Eventide / Morningstar

LOOP-MASTER PEDALS DUAL TRS AUX FOOTSWITCH – 2 NORMALLY OPEN + 2 NORMALLY CLOSED

Two different momentary switching types. Two completely independent TRS outputs. Four switches. One compact MXR-sized enclosure.

The Loop-Master Pedals Dual NO/NC Aux Footswitch combines TWO normally-open (NO) momentary switches and TWO normally-closed (NC) momentary switches in a compact pedalboard-friendly enclosure.

One 2-button section is dedicated to normally-open momentary switching.

The other 2-button section is dedicated to normally-closed momentary switching.

Each section has its own completely independent TRS output, with one switch controlling Tip and the other controlling Ring.

This makes it especially useful for pedalboards containing equipment with DIFFERENT external footswitch requirements.

Use the normally-open side with compatible Eventide, Morningstar and other NO equipment while using the normally-closed side with compatible Boss-style equipment — simultaneously.

Two switching types. Two isolated TRS outputs. Four switches. One compact enclosure.

WHAT IT DOES

• Two normally-open (NO) momentary footswitches

• Two normally-closed (NC) momentary footswitches

• Independent NO and NC 2-button sections

• Separate isolated TRS output for each section

• Switch 1 controls Tip

• Switch 2 controls Ring

• Control two different compatible devices simultaneously

• Mix NO and NC equipment on the same pedalboard

• Completely passive — no power required

• Compact MXR-sized footprint

• Premium jacks

• Handcrafted in the USA by Loop-Master Pedals

THE NORMALLY OPEN SIDE

The first 2-button section provides normally-open momentary switching:

• Switch 1 = Tip to Sleeve

• Switch 2 = Ring to Sleeve

• Dedicated isolated TRS output

At rest, the connections are OPEN.

Press a footswitch and the corresponding connection momentarily CLOSES.

Release the switch and it returns to its normally-open state.

This section is useful with compatible equipment requiring standard normally-open momentary external switches, including applications involving compatible Eventide and Morningstar equipment.

THE NORMALLY CLOSED SIDE

The second 2-button section provides normally-closed momentary switching:

• Switch 3 = Tip to Sleeve

• Switch 4 = Ring to Sleeve

• Dedicated isolated TRS output

At rest, the connections are CLOSED.

Press a footswitch and the corresponding connection momentarily OPENS.

Release the switch and it returns to its normally-closed state.

This section is designed for compatible equipment requiring Boss-style NC momentary external switching.

TWO COMPLETELY ISOLATED TRS OUTPUTS

Each 2-button section has its own dedicated TRS output.

NO SECTION:

• Tip = NO momentary switch

• Ring = NO momentary switch

• Dedicated TRS output

NC SECTION:

• Tip = NC momentary switch

• Ring = NC momentary switch

• Dedicated TRS output

The two TRS sections are electrically isolated from one another.

There is no shared Tip, Ring or Sleeve connection between the two outputs.

This allows the two sections to control two separate pieces of equipment while remaining completely independent.

MIX NO + NC EQUIPMENT

This is where this controller really earns its pedalboard space.

Many players have one device that requires normally-open switches and another that requires normally-closed switches.

Normally, that means mounting two different auxiliary footswitch controllers.

This box gives you both switching types in one compact MXR-sized enclosure.

EXAMPLE:

NO TRS OUTPUT → COMPATIBLE EVENTIDE H90

• Switch 1 = NO Tip

• Switch 2 = NO Ring

NC TRS OUTPUT → COMPATIBLE BOSS DEVICE

• Switch 3 = NC Tip

• Switch 4 = NC Ring

Both devices can be controlled simultaneously while remaining completely isolated from one another.

OTHER POSSIBLE COMBINATIONS

• Eventide H90 + compatible Boss device

• Morningstar MIDI controller + compatible Boss device

• Eventide device + compatible Boss looper

• Morningstar controller + compatible Boss effects processor

• NO-compatible modeler + NC-compatible effects unit

• Any two compatible devices requiring the respective NO and NC switching types

You can also use either 2-button section by itself.

The other section remains available whenever you add another compatible device to your rig.

EVENTIDE USE

The normally-open section can be used with compatible Eventide equipment that accepts normally-open external momentary switches.

This can provide two additional external controls for supported functions, depending on the particular Eventide device and its assignments.

For an H90, for example, the NO section can provide two external momentary switches through a compatible EXP/CTL input while the NC side remains available for another compatible device.

MORNINGSTAR USE

The normally-open section can be used with compatible Morningstar MIDI controllers through an Omniport configured for external aux switch operation.

This gives you two additional physical switches for supported Morningstar functions while leaving the normally-closed section available for another piece of equipment.

BOSS-STYLE USE

The normally-closed section is intended for compatible equipment requiring Boss-style NC momentary switching.

Depending on the connected device, the two switches may be used for functions such as:

• CTL functions

• Effect On / Off

• Tap Tempo

• Memory Up / Down

• Parameter control

• Loop functions

• Start / Stop

• Other assignable external controls

The exact functions are determined by the equipment being controlled.

NO VS. NC

NORMALLY OPEN (NO):

• Connection is open at rest

• Pressing the switch closes the connection

• Releasing the switch opens it again

NORMALLY CLOSED (NC):

• Connection is closed at rest

• Pressing the switch opens the connection

• Releasing the switch closes it again

Both switching types are available simultaneously from their own independent TRS outputs.

COMPACT MXR-SIZED DESIGN

Four momentary switches and two completely independent TRS outputs fit into a compact MXR-sized enclosure.

This gives you two separate 2-button aux controllers without having to dedicate pedalboard space to two separate boxes.

The smaller enclosure is especially useful for:

• Compact pedalboards

• Crowded pedalboards

• MIDI/controller rigs

• Modeler setups

• Mixed NO/NC pedalboards

• Fly rigs

• Custom control setups

DIMENSIONS

• 4.3" × 2.3" × 1.2"

• 10.9 × 5.8 × 3.0 cm

• 109 × 58 × 30 mm

POWER

No power required

Completely passive momentary switching.

CONSTRUCTION

• Two normally-open momentary footswitches

• Two normally-closed momentary footswitches

• Two completely independent TRS control outputs

• Premium jacks

• Rugged aluminum enclosure

• Compact MXR-sized footprint

• Completely passive operation

• Handcrafted in the USA by Loop-Master Pedals

CABLES

Each 2-button section connects to compatible equipment using a standard TRS cable.

To use both sections simultaneously, two standard TRS cables are required — one for the NO section and one for the NC section.

TRS cables are not included.

IMPORTANT COMPATIBILITY NOTE

The normally-open section is designed for equipment requiring NO momentary Tip/Ring switching.

The normally-closed section is designed for equipment requiring NC momentary Tip/Ring switching.

A TRS, EXP, CTL or external footswitch jack does not automatically indicate compatibility.

Some equipment uses resistor networks, digital communication or other proprietary control systems instead of simple momentary contact switching.

Always check the external footswitch requirements of your particular device before ordering.

If you're unsure, contact us with the exact make and model of your equipment and we'll help determine compatibility.
