The world's first app-programmable, remote-controlled guitar switcher that can be operated from a sleek footswitch unit.
The main concept behind the SmartSwitcher remains unchanged – a compact app-programmable switcher that can be operated from a remote sleek footswitch unit, meaning the switcher can sit in your pedalboard (even under your pedals) or in a rack. You then only need the footswitch unit (SmartController) on-stage with you. The switcher has10 loops - 6 mono and 4 stereo – which can mean up to 14 mono loops using Y-splitters, while the SmartController can be extended from 5 switches to 10, using an extender unit.
The SonicMind app itself is completely intuitive and enables you to easily create presets by dragging and dropping your connected pedals to where you want them, either before the amp, or in the send/return loop. Among other details, you can also assign as many banks as you want to each footswitch or set output levels and boost per preset. You can pull presets together into songs, then songs into set lists. Or you can use direct selection of presets via the multiple footswitches (up to 10) and banks. You can also dedicate footswitches to different functions, from individual songs to output levels. The idea is that you can set this switcher up to do whatever you want to. It also now features a range of midi functionality so you can control midi pedals and even connect to a midi controller.

The pedal features TrueCoil technology, which uses a miniaturized output transformer and Class A driver.
Torino, Italy (January 5, 2018) -- The pedal was designed by Carlo Sorasio and the man himself, Phil X, over the course of three years.
The result offers plenty of gain to get a big crunch sound on any clean amp. It includes a custom two-EQ circuit to fine-tune the overall response and features a Shitty/Great Amps toggle.
The FJOD uses the LAA-Custom TrueCoil technology, a miniaturized output transformer and Class A driver to achieve the magical tone, feeling, and color of some of the best studios and iconic studio mic preamps.
First 100 FJOD units will be hand-signed by Phil and you have the chance to get a special number by request (very low serial numbers are gone).
