Electro-Harmonix Switchblade Plus Instruction Manual

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.
