"insane Gain" Project

[El Dangerouso]

I was looking at Bennett Music Labs "Insane Gain", and I was liking the idea of the pedal, but I would really prefer the same thing in rack form. Bennett says that the thing is really just three EH LPB-1s in a row with true bypass on each. Well, the LPB-1's circuit is easy enough, but in a rack form, I would no longer be able to use the 3PDT stomp switches. Is there any way to control it remotely with a pedal like the Digitech FS300 and a TRS jack? Also, how difficult would it be to use MIDI with relays to control the circuit? This project may be beyond my ability, ultimately, so quotes are also welcome.

I would take the question over to DIY Stompboxes and see what they said. There's all kinds of wire-heads over there.

How far do you want to go? MIDI switching is possible, if you've got the time. money and determination. Meanwhile here's a couple of simpler solutions, one analog and one digital:

Digital switching (also from Geofex)
