Electro Harmonix Switch Blade
The Electro Harmonix Switch Blade is a line selector pedal that routes a guitar signal between two separate effects chains or amplifiers. Its primary function is an A/B switch, allowing the player to toggle between two distinct signal paths with a single footswitch. The pedal features two inputs and two outputs, enabling it to operate in either a selector mode, where one input is sent to one of two outputs, or a mixer mode, where two inputs are combined into a single output. This flexibility allows for switching between different effects setups or blending two instruments or sources. The Switch Blade is a passive device, requiring no power supply, and its true bypass switching ensures that the signal remains uncolored when the pedal is disengaged. The compact metal housing is designed for pedalboard integration, with input and output jacks arranged for straightforward cable routing.

- I have the new "Nano" Switchblade. It's a good cheap and cheerful piece of kit. I run both outputs of a "Boss DD-5" (stereo out/mono out) into it so I can flick in between live which is only a slight change unless I use 2. The in/out is opposite to "Boss" Pedals so I run it upside down. The thing is it's also passive so it works right out the box. You can use it just for an easier stage show, for switching amps/guitars/pedals or use it as a bypass to tune.
- Good Points: Passive, Would survive a nuclear holocaust, True Bypass

- Mine is the "nano" reissue of this pedal. Useful for cutting between two sound sources abruptly. Useful for sharing a channel between two sound sources when you have limited inputs on your mixing board.
- Good Points: Cheap, compact, no power required.
- Bad Points: Only an A/B pedal, not an A/B/Y.
