A 5 channels looper/mixer - Suggestions???

[Old_Iron]

Has been a while that I am thinking to apply modulations in parallel to my clean/dry signal, not only modulations but also a dirty and a clean/dry channels to be mixed at the end.

I'm not talking about looper switchers, nor a programmable switcher, it should be a split, send, return and mix thing.

The Boss LS-2 is perfect, but only has 2 channels, and I want 5 (could be 4, but ideally 5): clean/dry, dirty and 3 for modulations, ex.: chorus, delay and reverb.

The idea to apply each effect in parallel to a dry signal, and mix it at the end, is to have a much more clear sound because when you do it in series each effect will affect the next one and by the end you will have a bit of a "mushy" sound.

In studio recording, the parallel technique is very common practice.

So, my question is: Do you know a pedal that works like the Boss LS-2 but with 5 loops?

Thank you very much in advance.

Although it is about wet-dry, this is a good video to understand parallel effects:

I've never seen a pedal like this. I would normally use a small mixing board.

Me neither.

I'm looking for a compact solution, to be used in the pedalboard, like the Boss LS-2.

Maybe I could clone a LS-2 adding 3 more channels...

Or squeeze 2 MIM smt LS-2 pcbs in one case...(redneck science)

Does anyone have the Boss LS-2 service manual/service notes ?

Would the ES-8 or ES-5 do this?

The problem with those switchers is that I use those plastic suitcase style pedalboards, Boss BCB60 and Behringer PB1000, so a big thing like that will not fit in them.

Any other pedalboard style will involve the use of velcro, I will never put velcro in my pedals.

And just want to put everything in parallel and control the volume of each channel in the mix according to my taste.

As I said, the LS-2 is just perfect, but 2 loops only.

Found this, looks like the solution but a 5 loops with level controls is a bit expensive and the size and shape are not ideal:
