FOOTSWITCH— Switches the Y jack connection between the A jack and B
jack.

The Switchblade can be used in two directions, meaning the signal path can
flow from A/B to Y, or from Y to A/B.

Using the Switchblade to switch between two instruments: plug the
instruments into jack A and jack B using ¼” instrument cables. Then connect
jack Y to the next device in your signal chain (effects, if any, or amplifier if
none). Use the footswitch to switch between the instruments.

Using the Switchblade to switch between two amplifiers: plug the amplifiers
into jack A and jack B using ¼” instrument cables. Then connect jack Y to
the previous device in your signal chain (effects, if any, or instrument if
none). Use the footswitch to switch between amplifiers.

The Switchblade is not limited the above two applications. Here are two
more application examples:
Y: InstrumentÆ Effects chain A, effects chain B
Y: Amplifier headÆ Speaker cabinet A, speaker cabinet B (be sure to use
speaker cable and not instrument cable for this application).

The Switchblade is a passive device and requires no power supply, such as a
battery or power adapter. The Switchblade does not support stereo use and
will only work with ¼” mono cables.
