The mother of all effects loop switchers, One Control's Crocodile Tail Loop is any high-tech guitarist's dream come true. With 10 fully independent switchable loops at your command, the Crocodile Tail Loop gives you all the freedom you need to set up cool and complex effects routings to your heart's desire. One Control's amazing BJF buffer circuit is responsible for the Crocodile Tail Loop's incredible sound quality and ultra-forgiving headroom, but you can bypass it, if you like, via the unbuffered input. There's also MIDI I/O onboard this versatile switcher, which allows you both to control it remotely and to use it to control your MIDI-equipped effects and amplifiers. And if you need more than 10 effects loops, you can always daisy chain another One Control Crocodile Tail Loop via a single Cat 5e ethernet cable.

• Audition, experiment, store, and recall any combination of loops you like
• MIDI I/O adds a whole additional layer of functionality to your guitar rig
• Link Function lets you take your pedalboard to a whole new level

From simple manual loop switching to automated storage and recall, the One Control Crocodile Tail Loop makes creating advanced effects routings for your guitar rig easy as pie. As you're getting started, the Crocodile Tail Loop's direct mode lets you try out different combinations of pedals to find the right setup for the sound you want. Using the streamlined pushbutton controls, you can easily store up to 70 of your own loop presets in seven banks of 10 presets each, giving you a huge range of onstage control.

Here's another side of the One Control Crocodile Tail Loop you're sure to find handy: MIDI control. Each of the Crocodile Tail Loop's switches lets you send out MIDI control change messages. That's extremely handy if you're playing through a MIDI-equipped multi-effects unit, because you can set up your programs to switch tone presets as well as to toggle loops. It's also great for switching channels and onboard effects on MIDI-equipped amplifiers. On the other hand, you can also control the Crocodile Tail Loop via an external MIDI controller. That means you can leave your whole pedalboard off stage and use just a simple MIDI foot controller to run your whole rig.

Need more than 10 effects loops? No problem! Thanks to the handy Link function built into the Crocodile Tail Loop, expanding your rig's capabilities is easy. Just hook up both Crocodile Tail Loops together via a single run-of-the-mill Cat 5e ethernet cable, and you're all set. There are two Link modes, Sync and Download. Sync mode simply follows the settings of the master unit only, so if you trigger preset 2 on the master unit, the slave unit will activate its preset 2. In Download mode, the master Crocodile Tail Loop actually sends its complete settings to the slave unit, perfect for setting up parallel rigs for high-profile shows.
