School was canceled due to a sheet of ice covering most of central Ohio leaving me with a little time to work in the lab.

I installed a LR Baggs piezo bridge in a strat a couple of months ago. It’s an amazing $150 upgrade, but it left me needing a TRS to 1/4″ adapter to separate the peizo output from the pickups. I also like the idea of being able to bypass big chunks of my pedal board and the associated tone sucking traits with an effects loop.

Here’s my solution. 2 loops for the guitar pickups and a separate output from the ring connector to run the peizo to the PA.

Even though it is a little fragile for a box designed for stomping I couldn’t resist using a fender jewel lamp housing. I’ve always thought they look awesome. There are two leds inside, one for each loop. To differentiate loops one is a blinkey led and the other is solid.
