One Control Crocodile Tail Loop OC-10 – MIDI Capable Buffered Loop Switcher for Guitar Amps, Effects and Pedals – NEW! One Control

One Control Crocodile Tail Loop OC-10

MIDI capable switcher for guitar Effects Pedals

Selectable Buffer Switching, Amp Channel Switching and Effect Loop Access

The Crocodile Tail Loop is the flagship switcher from One Control. Create up to 70 presets with the easy push button auto saving system. The OC10 has 7 programs per bank and you can choose up to 10 programs for each program. The OC10 is also equipped with midi and can send program changes, or be used as a midi through, to be used in combination with other midi devices. Link two OC10 together with a proprietary LAN cable to access multiple pedals off stage. The OC10 also has the amazing BJF Buffer from One Control included (which can be bypassed by using the nonbuffered input). The OC10 can also be used as a simple switcher by accessing the direct mode. Direct mode is perfect for band practices or experimenting with pedals before you’ve decided how to set your programs. The Crocodile Tail Loop truly is the most innovative pedal switcher on the market.

BJF Buffer Routing

Many people ask why the Crocodile Tail Loop has both buffered and nonbuffered inputs. The reason is simple – Some pedals sound and perform better with a buffer, other sound and perform better with a buffer. When it comes to routing, the Crocodile Tail Loop offers amazing flexibility. Selectable buffer switching, amp channel switching and effect loop access are just some of the ways that the Crocodile Tail Loop can help you with routing your guitar and pedalboard.

Amp Channel Switching

The Crocodile Tail Loop has three separate loops that can be used for a variety of purposes. These loops can be used for amp channel switching, or routing effects into an amp’s effects loop, as well as a variety of other functions to match individual guitar player’s needs. If your amp has a quarter inch input for channel switching it is quite likely that the Crocodile Tail Loop will be able to switch your amp’s channels.

MIDI Functions

The Crocodile Tail Loop also comes equipped with a midi input and output/thru. The OC-10 was built to be incredibly user friendly that usability applies to midi function as well. With close to no programming at all, guitarists can switch midi programs with their favorite digital effects. Please note that the Crocodile Tail Loop can only send PC# (Patch Change) without the CrocEye (sold separately). It has both TX and RX functions. TX stands for transmit midi, and RX stands for receive midi. Guitarists can choose whether or not they want to send or receive midi program changes on internal programs. The midi output can also be changed to a midi thru. That way, if you’d like to use a more advanced midi controller or software to control your effects, it is completely possible.

For advanced MIDI functions (PC# and CC#), a separate item called the CrocEye is needed. With the CrocEye, you’ll be able to send tap tempo instructions to all Strymon pedals by pressing a single footswitch on the Crocodile Tail Loop. The CrocEye can support up to 16 devices and 16 channels.

Link and Sync Functions

One option that separates the Crocodile Tail Loop from many other switchers on the market is the Sync and Link functions. The Link function allows players to connect two Crocodile Tail Loops together using a proprietary LAN cable. Being able to link or remotely control a loop switcher is incredibly important for many professional musicians and it allows the OC-10 to control up to 20 pedals with one switch. Whether you prefer to use a rack of effects or you prefer to have your tech controlling your patch changes, the Crocodile Tail Loop is a great solution.

The Sync function is also extremely useful. It allows you to use two Crocodile Tail Loops, with one controlling the other – either via the proprietary LAN link cable, or using the Crocodile Tail Loop with your preferred MIDI controller. Since the Crocodile Tail Loop responds to standard program changes, using it with other midi controllers is very simple.

Using the Crocodile Tail Loop in Stereo

While the Crocodile Tail Loop’s jacks are mono, it can be used with one stereo effect in combination with 8 mono pedals. Because the Crocodile Tail Loop has two identical outputs from loops 1-7 you can use one of the extra outs to help with the stereo process. Please keep in mind that using a stereo pedal will take two of the separate loops from the Crocodile Tail Loop, and stereo effects should be the last step in setting up your Crocodile Tail Loop.
