Hi! If your question relates to Loopy Pro, you may find a faster answer at one of the other Loopy Pro communities (https://loopypro.com/communities) – this forum has only a small number of active users.
Not recommended I'm getting a Griffin Stompbox set up with MIDI Designer Pro and OnSong... a bit of a hassle and lots of workarounds. (but Amazon has the Stompbox for cheap so I'm hoping it will work for me)
@Hmtx actually it's pretty much all loopy (each of the 6 loops has 2 switches to control mute/record/unmute and overdub) and then some for master effects and controls. I may use 1 for muting my mic input.
@ABrokenRecord looks beautiful. Honestly I think you should manufacture and sell them.
@rex I got a looptimus. It's great. Only prob is that there are only really six programmable switches immediately on hand; you have to switch to different banks for more. I really like @abrokenrecord 's approach.
@veitchtweets unfortunately, it wouldn't be worth it. The nanokontrols are a pain to solder and the metal, wood, and labor would drive the cost up too high. The pedal isn't worth more than say 125-150 dollars, but there is close to $100 in material and many hours of labor involved.
It's been a fun project so far with my dad. (He's a skill carpenter and understands electronics pretty well which helps).
I really liked my FCB1010 for the three years I used it FWIW.
Currently using IK multimedia Blueboard (with its app) which is good as its low latency and battery powered for busking.. but looking into ripping apart a Bluetooth computer keyboard and detouring its comments into a wedged medal pedal stomp box

I know your post is five years old but I just got new iPad with loopy HD on it and I have a Looptamus midi pedal also was wondering if your still using the same setup and how its working out for you.
Hello i use Nektar Pacer for many task , kemper amp, prgrm change digitakt , note on or cc to map loopy , 10 buttons ( + 2 port for double switch ( i use tc switch or volume and wha etc )by ''preset'' so i have 14 buttons .
You can use it with ipad without 9v charge just connexion ipad kit ( with alimentation of course )maybe with ipad pro usb c it's not necessary.

Behringer FCB1010 - a bit bulky, but very durable.
Boss FC 50. Only 5 usable pedals but built like a tank, takes batteries and can be expanded by 4 CC controller pedals.
kmi softstep2, korg nanopad2 (DIY PEDAL with 8 pads)
I'm building a custom pedal right now.
@ABrokenRecord what material are you using on top? I'm also building a custom pedal board using the guts of an iCade. What's inside of yours?
Mine too is a metal sheet I was able to pick up and get cut to size. The guts are a NanoKontrol2.
Looks great! I'm waiting for my switches to arrive from China...
holy MIDI tap-dancing, batman!!!
Now that is a pedal board. I'm guessing you are running MIDI controlled effects on the iPad also? Or planning to use all those switches for Loopy HD?

A Gordius LGX2 (Big Little Giant 2).

Essentially, I wish I were better at making things

Wanna build me one that's Bluetooth?! Epic! Love it!
