You either go through a loop of pedals or directly into the amp bypassing all the pedals? Meaning the Dingus is footswitchable.

It’s a DINGUS. What more needs to be said?
Really I have no idea

But it’s not. It’s literally just a box with 4 jacks in it.

The purpose of a Dingus is to take your money.
Seems pretty clear to me.

Oh wait. I think I figured it out. I think this gets connected to the VL pedal board (or any pedal board) and allows you to have quick connections for in and out.
So really instead of plugging into the first pedal of your pedal board and hooking up the last pedal to the amp, you plug into this directly and out of the Dingus to the amp. Why? I don't know. I guess it looks cleaner?
I believe it is more for the benefits of mono vs stereo signals? Am I wrong?

I’m very glad my dingus has never made an appearance on my pedalboard. That sounds painful.
Especially if you stomp on it.
Didn't that feed to a Leslie Cab?

I'm guessing a great majority of this august body need not fear the stomp.
Did you intentionally omit the other 3 diagrams with more complex signal paths?
Oops. I didn’t swipe far enough to see those ones, but even still the only one that makes any reasonable use of this thing is the last diagram.
It would put a whole new paint job on the term “tube screamer”.

Looks like the only point of it is the 'easy access' they talk about on the voodoo labs page linked above. So, maybe, someone has a pedal board where the layout makes it difficult to get to the places where the guitar and amp connect. They could add this box at the edge of the board, and run short, tied down or hidden cables to the right places. (It's just a pair of 1/4 inch "thru" connections.)

It's a mini patchbay. Could be useful. I have some quick connects on the side of my board to keep things clean. It's great if you want the beginning or end pedal somewhere not on the edge.
I also used a similar box for quick connect or bypass for effects loop. If you are using wet effects to the front of the amp, you bypass the patchbay. If you are using the loop, run cables from the patchbay. Saves you from having to disconnect stuff from the board, which can be a pain.
