DPC.micro Gen4
Our most compact loop switching controller, now updated to Gen 4. Featuring three true bypass loops in a standard 125B enclosure, the DPC.micro is your go-to companion for compact loop switching.
The DPC.micro Gen4 works as a standalone device, to switch three separate pedals or signal chains, or as a MIDI-controlled loop expander for your rig.
Each loop may be controlled using a MIDI CC message or program change message, and the DPC.micro Gen4 can store up to 120 preset combinations for instant recall over MIDI.
The DPC.micro Gen4 is also available in an under-board mount version with no footswitches. The under-board version features a programming pushbutton to select the loops and save presets, located on the side next to the MIDI input.
Please note that due to the compact size of the DPC.micro, we recommend slim-fitting patch cables such as our EVO Solderless cable kits. Most other solderless kits will also work, as will the SquarePlugs series of soldered conectors. We also offer a discounted bundle option with a custom EVO kit containing 12 plugs and 10ft. of cable, ideal for wiring up three pedals to your DPC.micro!

If you already have a MIDI controller, the DPC.micro can act as a MIDI “slave” on any available channel. You can even connect up to four DPC.micro to create your own modular switching rig.
The DPC.micro is fully compatible with the Disaster Area Gen3 pedal controllers – connect it to add three effects loops under MIDI control.
Do you have a MIDI-capable multi-effects unit like the Line 6 Helix / Helix LT / HX Effects, or Fractal AX8? The DPC.micro can interface directly with your rig to add up to three independently controllable loops for your non-MIDI pedals! Combine your favorite analog distortion, compression, modulation, and delay pedals with the digital sounds from your other gear, without giving up your control and flexibility.
Integrates directly with the DMC.micro Gen4, receiving power and MIDI over a single USB cable (included.)
Works with our web-based configuration editor for full customization and bank management.
