Fender Switchboard Effects Operator—Total Pedalboard Control

This model delivers next-level pedalboard management for guitarists and bassists. Use the foot controller to command up to five effects loops, reorder your signal chain instantly, and build complex presets while keeping your tone 100% analog. Developed with switching expert Ron Menelli, the Switchboard brings professional routing and real-time flexibility to any rig.

Innovative Features That Stand Out

Unlike standard switchers, this instrument enables you to reorder your entire pedal chain without cables, access 500 user presets (including 100 quick-access favorites), and connect with MIDI and amp footswitch outputs for complete rig integration. A full-color LCD and encoder provide fast setup and clarity during performance.

Hands-Free Routing and Preset Recall

Less tap dancing is required in real-time performance. Pedals can be assigned in any order, combinations saved as presets, and multiple effects toggled at once. Compact chassis and an intuitive graphic UI keep your attention on playing instead of pedal management.

• Loops: 5 relay true bypass — fully analog, preserves tone, supports stereo on loop 5
• User Presets: 500 — 400 main + 100 favorites for instant recall
• Control over MIDI pedals and amp channels is possible via dedicated outputs.

Flexible Connectivity for Any Setup

Adaptability is at the heart of this model. Stereo effects are supported in loop 5, an expression pedal jack unlocks a built-in volume pedal (which you can position anywhere in the chain), and USB-C makes firmware updates easy. High-fidelity input/output buffers preserve clarity even with long cable runs.

• Input Impedance: 1 MΩ — ensures signal integrity
• Output Impedance: 150 Ω — consistent output to any amp
• Dimensions: 242 mm x 115 mm x 70 mm — fits most pedalboards

Premium Build and Stage-Ready Design

Lightweight, gold anodized aluminum forms the chassis, offering strength and easy-access jacks. LCD display and LED-assignable switches give visual feedback, while a professional tuner and flexible footswitch logic are built in for real gig demands.

• Weight: 1.36 kg — road-friendly and stable
• Color/Material: Gold anodized aluminum — stylish and rugged
• Most standard 9VDC, 500mA power supplies are compatible.

Who Needs the Switchboard?

Gigging players, studio musicians, and anyone seeking powerful pedalboard automation without digital menu overload will benefit from this model. Fast switching, seamless preset changes, and all-analog sound with modern control are supported. For setlist-driven live performers or those who frequently change pedal orders, this solution brings flexibility and reliability to stage or studio.
