{"product_id":"earthquaker-flexi-loops-401042","title":"FLEXI LOOPS","description":"\u003ch3\u003eAn EQD Utility Designed for Modern Routing\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Flexi Loops is not an effects pedal in the \"sound\" sense: it is a \u003cstrong\u003erouting tool\u003c\/strong\u003e that helps you organize a pedalboard and maintain a flawless tonal foundation. The idea is simple and extremely effective: rather than stacking true bypass pedals and cables that eventually load the signal, you place your pedals (or entire sub-chains) into one of the \u003cstrong\u003etwo loops\u003c\/strong\u003e, then insert or remove them from the signal path with a single gesture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEarthQuaker Devices adds its signature feature: the \u003cstrong\u003eFlexi-Switch technology\u003c\/strong\u003e, a silent relay switching system that naturally allows switching between \"click\" and \"hold\" modes without menus or complicated combinations. The result: a compact switcher built for the road that quickly becomes the nerve center of a well-thought-out pedalboard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho Is the Flexi Loops For, and When Does It Make a Difference?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Flexi Loops is aimed at all guitarists (and bassists) who want to \u003cstrong\u003esimplify their pedalboard\u003c\/strong\u003e and secure their tone, from beginners building their first board to pros needing seamless changes live. It is especially relevant if you use:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e* Stacked gain pedals\u003c\/strong\u003e (overdrive, distortion, fuzz) that you want to activate as a block without \"pedal dancing\".\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e* Effects that color the tone even when off\u003c\/strong\u003e (certain vintage circuits, some buffers, or pedals sensitive to placement).\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e* A live setup\u003c\/strong\u003e where instant mute, a tuner output, or quick routing changes prevent unwanted noise and hesitation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the studio, it also becomes a practical ally to \u003cstrong\u003equickly compare\u003c\/strong\u003e an effects chain against the direct sound or to isolate a section of the pedalboard during recording.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures, Controls, and Wiring Options\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Flexi Loops offers a clear architecture: \u003cstrong\u003e1 main input\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003e1 main output\u003c\/strong\u003e, plus \u003cstrong\u003e2 independent loops\u003c\/strong\u003e each with a \u003cstrong\u003eSend\u003c\/strong\u003e and a \u003cstrong\u003eReturn\u003c\/strong\u003e. Each loop has its own \u003cstrong\u003esoft-touch footswitch\u003c\/strong\u003e (Loop 1 and Loop 2) and a \u003cstrong\u003estatus LED\u003c\/strong\u003e to visualize activation state.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSwitching is relay-based with \u003cstrong\u003etrue bypass\u003c\/strong\u003e : when a loop is bypassed, the signal does not pass through your pedals in that loop. The key point is that the Flexi-Switch allows two behaviors with the same footswitch:\u003cbr \/\u003e* \u003cstrong\u003eOn\/off mode\u003c\/strong\u003e : one press activates, one press deactivates.\u003cbr \/\u003e* \u003cstrong\u003eMomentary mode\u003c\/strong\u003e : hold to activate, release to bypass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeyond the \"loop switcher\" role, you can repurpose a loop very usefully: create a \u003cstrong\u003etuner output\u003c\/strong\u003e (and mute your main output), use it as a silent \u003cstrong\u003ekill switch\u003c\/strong\u003e, or use the outputs to feed \u003cstrong\u003etwo destinations\u003c\/strong\u003e and quickly select which one you send the signal to (depending on your routing). This is typically the kind of utility pedal that unlocks clean solutions when a pedalboard starts to get complex.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Sound\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Flexi Loops is not designed to \"sound\" like anything: it is built to \u003cstrong\u003enot color the sound\u003c\/strong\u003e. Its fully passive approach in the signal path aims for maximum transparency: sharper attack, better preserved highs, and a more direct playing feel as soon as you remove an effects sub-chain from the path. In practice, it highlights your guitar, pickups, and amp, while allowing you to insert effects blocks without compromise when you need them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRegarding dynamics, the benefit is immediate for touch-sensitive tones (clean, crunch, blues, rock) as well as for more loaded rigs: by bypassing a complete loop, you instantly reduce potential sources of hiss, loss, and level variations. In rig databases, the Flexi Loops is mainly identified as a \u003cstrong\u003epedalboard management tool\u003c\/strong\u003e : a discreet utility but crucial for maintaining a reliable and coherent setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e@media(max-width:632px){table[data-wb-spec]{display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr)
