Yes.  It’s back.  Our original pedalboard controller, now with way more cool stuff.

The DPC-5 was our first foray into the loop-switching field way back in 2012.  We discontinued it in early 2016 when some of the parts required to build them became too expensive.  We’ve been hard at work bringing the DMC Gen3 series to life, but we never forgot about the DPC-5!
