Electro-Harmonix Delivers the Switchblade Pro

The pedal features two independent loops that can be set up in either series or parallel to switch between effects loops, command a multi-instrument set-up, or feed up to three amplifiers.

New York, NY (April 22, 2019) -- Electro-Harmonix is now shipping the Switchblade Pro, a compact switching pedal with advanced features including true mechanical bypass, soft switching, high quality/low noise buffers, volume controls for all input signals and high headroom.

Features:

  • Switch between two different amplifiers or turn both on at once. An additional amp can be added to the main output for a three amp setup
  • Footswitchable effects loops can run in series or parallel, and can swap order when run in series
  • Mix and switch between three instruments/audio sources with individual volume controls sent to one amplifier
  • Dry Level makes it ideal for bass players by mixing in the dry and processed signals to keep the low-end clear and focused
  • True bypass helps avoid ā€œtone suckā€ and noise from vintage pedals placed in the Switchblade Proā€™s FX loops
  • Provides an adjustable volume boost with up to 6dB of gain for each input

The Switchblade Pro comes with an EHX 9.6DC200mA power supply, is available now and features a $123.50 USA street price.

This versatile ramping phaser is distinguished by a fat voice, vibrato section, and practical preamp.

Uncommonly thick phaser voice. Useful range of ramping effects. The practical preamp section can be used independently. Nice vibrato mode.

Visually cluttered design. Some ramping effects can be difficult to dial in with precision.

The notion behind a ramping phaser predates the phaser pedal by many moonsā€”namely in the form of thetwo-speed Leslie rotating speaker. A Leslie isnā€™t a phaser in the strictest sense, though the physics behind what the listener perceives are not dissimilar, and as any phaser devotee can tell you, there are many audible similarities between the two. At many phase rates and intensities, a phaser stands in convincingly for a Leslie, and the original king of phasers, theUniVibe was conceived as a portable alternative to rotary speakers.
