The Fender Switchboard Effects Operator Loop Switcher pedal lets you manage five, true-bypass effects loops in any order you want. In addition, the Switchboard’s super easy interface can incorporate an expression pedal and comtrol an amp’s footswitch, as well as send MIDI messages to MIDI-compatible signal processors and other devices. There’s even an onboard tuner so you can delete a tuner pedal from your board. Furthermore, the Fender Switchboard is compact—measuring just 9.5" x 4.5"—so it’s not a pedalboard hog. Depending on the size of your board, you can likely choose your favorite stomp boxes without worrying if there’s enough room.

“One of my favorite features in the [Fender] Switchboard is being able to rearrange any of my pedals in the signal chain,” says guitarist, producer, session player and musical director Nicholas Veinoglou.

“That’s amazing. Normally, if I wanted to do that, I would have to rewire my entire board. I can also audition a bunch of funky sounds with the twist of one knob, and when I’m on tour working from a set list, I can save different signal chains for each individual song or song section.”
