The Electro-Harmonix Switchblade Pro is a deluxe, analog-with-digital-control signal router and effects loop switcher pedal.
Key Features:
True Mechanical Bypass & Buffers: Uses true bypass to prevent "tone-suck" from vintage or non-true-bypass pedals, paired with high-quality, low-noise buffers and high headroom.
Dual Effects Loops: Features two independent FX loops (Loop A and Loop B) that can run in either series or parallel. In series mode, you can even swap their order in the chain.
Amp & Instrument Switching: Allows you to switch between two different amplifiers, run both simultaneously, or route a third amp to the main output. Multi-instrumentalists can also plug up to three instruments into a single amplifier and mix them.
Level & Clean Boost Controls: Includes dedicated volume knobs for Return A, Return B, and a Dry Level control (great for bass players to keep low-end clear). Each input can provide an adjustable clean volume boost of up to +6dB (with noon on the knob representing unity gain).
Footswitches: Equipped with soft-switching footswitches for Bypass, A/B (selects between Loop A/Red and Loop B/Green), and A+B (engages both loops or both amps together).
