Fender Switchboard Effects Operator

The Switchboard Effects Operator is an essential and compact solution for effects selection, featuring a user-friendly interface that provides complete control over the signal path, multi-pedal preset recall, and convenient effects selection directly with your feet. Designed in collaboration with Ron Menelli, a leading expert in loop switching relied upon by many professionals, the Switchboard utilizes five true bypass relay-configurable effects loops, along with a powerful processor to intuitively modify the connection order of your pedalboard components—while always maintaining a completely analog, high-fidelity signal path.

Use the Switchboard to access any combination of pedals in any order, activate/deactivate one or more effects, and even control the footswitches and MIDI pedals of your amplifier. Don’t slow down your sound creation with complicated menus: the graphical user interface and easy-to-use knobs of the Switchboard make crafting your presets in real-time simple and enjoyable. The color LCD screen provides clear graphical representations, so you always know which pedals and presets are currently active.

With a total of 500 user presets, a built-in professional tuner, two high-fidelity buffers, an integrated volume pedal, and much more, the Switchboard offers professional-level control of your pedalboard that remains intuitive at all times.
