The Loop-Master 18 Loop Switcher w/Tuner Out & Master Bypass (staggered) is a loop switcher made by Loop-Master Pedals. It gives a player 18 individual loops, a dedicated tuner out, and a master bypass function, all in a staggered enclosure1.
A loop switcher sits between your pedals and lets each one live permanently inside its own loop. When the loop is off, the pedal is taken out of the signal path entirely, which is how players with large boards keep their tone clean without tapping every pedal individually. The tuner out sends a signal to a separate tuner pedal so you can tune silently between songs, and the master bypass takes the whole unit out of the chain when you want your guitar going straight to the amp1.
The staggered layout refers to how the footswitches are arranged on the enclosure: rather than sitting in a flat row, they are offset from one another, which leaves more room around each switch. On a switcher with 18 loops, that spacing matters, since hitting the wrong loop mid-song is the classic failure mode of a crowded switching rig1.
Loop-Master Pedals builds this unit to order on its own product page, where the 18-loop switcher with tuner out and master bypass in the staggered layout is listed as its own configuration1. Players comparing options in the same family can look at smaller configurations such as the Loop-Master 1 Loop Switcher w/Tuner Out (Non-LED) or the Loop-Master ABC Loop Switcher w/Tuner Out, which cover boards that need fewer loops.
