Fender Switchboard™ Effects Operator
Unleash the full potential of your pedal board! The Switchboard Effects Operator is a streamlined and compact effects switching solution with a remarkably simple interface, bringing complete signal path control, multi-pedal preset recall, and convenient effects switching right to your feet.
Designed in collaboration with Ron Menelli, the premier loop switching expert called on by the pros, the Switchboard utilizes five rearrangeable relay true bypass effects loops combined with a powerful processor to intuitively reroute your pedal board - all while maintaining a completely analog, high-fidelity signal path. Use the Switchboard to access any combination of pedals in any order, toggle multiple or individual effects on and off, and even control your amp’s footswitches and MIDI enabled pedals.
Don’t bog down your tone workflow with complicated menus; the Switchboard’s graphic user interface and easy-to-use encoder knob makes crafting presets in real time straightforward and fun. The full color LCD screen displays bold visual graphics, so you always know what pedals are on and what preset is currently active. Packed with 500 user presets, a built-in professional tuner, two high fidelity buffers, a built-in volume pedal and much more, the Switchboard provides pro-level board control in a user-friendly package.

REARRANGABLE EFFECTS LOOPS
Explore entirely new tones from your same old pedals by simply rearranging their order. Place reverb before your fuzz. Place your chorus at the end of your chain. Experiment to create truly unique sounds. No unplugging required!
INTEGRATED VOLUME PEDAL & TUNER
Connect an expression pedal to the EXP Jack to take control of the internal Volume Pedal. Place it anywhere in your signal path or bypass it entirely. Press and hold the FS Footswitch to mute your signal and access a professional tuner at any time.
LOOP MODE
Delivers performance-focused real-time pedalboard control and the ideal space for crafting new presets. Using the six footswitches, Loop Mode consolidates turning on/off your five effects and external footswitch to one location - defeating “tap dancing” for good.
EDITOR MODE
Provides full control of all parameters saved to each preset using an easily accessible graphic menu. Edit effect loop order and status, select FTSW conductors to be activated, turn the buffers on and off, edit MIDI messages and name your presets.
BANK MODE
A streamlined interface for organizing and accessing 100 banks of user-made presets. Use the up and down footswitches to scroll through banks while footswitches 1-4 instantly recall one of the four presets within each bank.
