Is there a way to turn on/off more than one pedal at a time?

Hi forum.
Just recently I have had the money to begin working on a pedal board, except for live playing I have found that I have had to turn on about 3 pedals at the same time for parts of songs (Usually reverb, delay, chorus and even channel selector). So I was wondering if there is a way to hit more than one pedal at a time so I can change in and out of tones with ease?

There are a lot of good programmable switchers out there - the Ground Control, GigRig's higher end switcher...Cusack makes one...all of them can be programmed to turn on/off multiple pedals at a time using dip switches.

I bought a true bypass loop pedal for this - it has 2 pedals on 1 loop (boost, analog delay) which is my lead sound; the other loop is for modulation effects.

If the effects you want to turn off an on are all in the same signal chain together, a loop pedal will do like the iguana mentioned above. Otherwise, you'll need a programmable looper, such as the Ground Control, Gigswitch, or others. Depends on how deep your pedal changes are as well as your budget.

AH, the Cusack Pedal Board Tamer sounds like just the thing for you in this instance. Or even perhaps the Gig Rig MIDI 8 or similar. Carl Martin also does a couple that can be setup to enable certain loops with the pressing of a given switch.

Plenty of things on the market that will do this and more... quite easily achieved.
