an off board solution for no OBEL?

If not, is there a box to do the trick?

The central factor of the OBEL is that you have a "post effects" "master volume" control on the guitar itself. You could always have a pedal that would engage/bypass a pedal loop, but you still don't solve the issue of having that final volume control on the guitar. It takes 2 cords.

That indeed works for many folks. But man, once you get used to the OBEL with the master volume control right there within pinky's reach, no matter where you are on stage, no matter how "balanced" you are feeling, and no matter how precise your foot control is, it's hard to beat the precision and ergonomics. Volume pedals are by nature a bit less precise and you really do have to stand just right so you can have balance on one foot while the other goes to the VP and sets it exactly right.

Add the little toggle switch to entirely bypass the pedal loop, and you see why Jer' stuck with that OBEL setup till the end.

I am using a volume pedal now. It's such a pain in the ass to try to sing and manage the volume pedal to the tone you want. I am going to have an OBEL on my Resurrection and I can't wait!
