Electro Harmonix Nano Switch Blade

Electro Harmonix

Much like all Electro Harmonix pedals the inputs are opposite to most others that I use; So when I use this it tends to be upside down. This can be used simply to switch amps or guitars or loops. Personally I use it to send a Kaoss pad through my rig instead of my guitar. When I run it to switch between 2 outputs on a Boss DD-5 I have to run it upside down but this is a 5 minute fix. It's a passive pedal that is virtually indestructible and has worked for me flawlessly live for a good year.
Good Points: Passive Strong Compact and Simple Cheap
Bad Points: No indication of which channel due to being passive so if you switch it by accident on a pedal board it could be a problem.
Price Paid: US$39.00

Works well to switch between two sound sources. Although switch pops audibly when depressed, the pop sound does not bleed into the signals that are passing through the pedal. Although I already use a stereo delay pedal, I find the switchblade useful to switch between a contact mic and another sound source. Setting things up this way allows both sources to pan evenly through my Boss DD-6.
Good Points: versatile no change to signals passive / no battery required
Bad Points: none
