The challenge is to explain this; what it does and how it works. Has beaten better men than me.
I have named it The Inscrutable.
You will note the input and output jacks sitting either side of the guitar and amp jacks. This is very interesting and.....inscrutable. :think:

its a loop switch-a copy of the boss one.
guitar in ->send to first pedal.....last pedal out to return->out to guitar amp? pedal stomp turn loop on/off or mutes output if no loop engaged?

It allows you to switch a "loop of effects" in an out of the chain. Boss had one with a power supply included.

Thank you both. Will try that with the ZT which should survive if this thing is actually a bomb

So how did you come to be in possession of such an inscrutable device? Because if there is somewhere I can buy mystery pedals, I am all in.

Why on earth does a simple loop switcher need all that circuitry?

for the SPST bypass, and buffering, would be my guess.

I have the Boss one, PS2 from memory, it can be used as a power supply source, loop switcher and a splitter it you put a jack plug the loop input(little trick I learned somewhere). I have used it with a Wah in the loop many times.
