SWITCHBLADE+

Deluxe Channel Selector

Congratulations on your purchase of the Electro-Harmonix SWITCHBLADE+! With a fully

passive audio path and active LED indication, the SWITCHBLADE+ provides a simple and

versatile interface for routing your signal.

– Controls –

A/B Footswitch (LED) – Press this switch to route the input signal to either OUT A (Red

LED) or OUT B (Green LED).

A+B Footswitch (LED) – Press this switch to route the input signal to both OUT A and

OUT B. When A+B is engaged (Red LED), the A/B Footswitch has no effect on the signal

path.

– I/O –

INPUT – Connect the output of your instrument or another effects pedal to this jack.

TUNER – Connect this jack to the input of a tuner device or another effects pedal. This

jack is hardwired to the INPUT jack and provides a direct output regardless of the state of

the unit.

OUT A – Connect this jack to the input of an amplifier or the input of another effects

pedal. Depending on the state of the A/B and A+B controls, this jack will output either the

direct input signal or no signal. When the A/B LED is lit red or the A+B LED is lit up, OUT A

is selected.

OUT B – Connect this jack to the input of an amplifier or the input of another effects

pedal. Depending on the state of the A/B and A+B controls, this jack will output either the

direct input signal or no signal. When the A/B LED is lit green or the A+B LED is lit up, OUT

B is selected.

– Power -

The SWITCHBLADE+ can be powered by a 9V battery or a 9VDC battery eliminator

capable of delivering at least 16mA. The optional 9V power supply from Electro-Harmonix

is 9.6DC-200BI (same as used by Boss® & Ibanez®) 9.6 Volts DC 200mA. The power

supply must have a barrel connector with center negative.

The SWITCHBLADE+ can also operate without power, since the audio path is fully

passive. With no power, however, the LED indication will not function.

When A+B is engaged, the input impedance at the INPUT jack is equal to 50kΩ in parallel

with the combined input impedances of the devices connected to the TUNER, OUT A, and

OUT B jacks. When A+B is not engaged, the input impedance at the INPUT jack is equal

to 100kΩ in parallel with the combined input impedances of the devices connect to the

TUNER jack and OUT A or OUT B.
