Here’s what Fender has to say about the 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.

Unlock Your True Potential

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 analogue, 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.

User-Friendly Interface

The Switchboard’s graphic user interface and easy-to-use encoder knob make crafting presets in real-time straightforward and fun. The full-colour 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.

Key Features

  • Rearrangeable 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.
  • 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 an 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.

Guitar Pedals

Guitar pedals are compact effects units that shape and enhance a guitar’s sound, sitting between the instrument and the amplifier. They include gain pedals like overdrive and distortion, modulation effects such as chorus and tremolo, time-based effects like delay and reverb, and essential utilities including tuners, compressors and loopers. Understanding basic things such as pedal type, signal order, power requirements and intended use helps players choose pedals that suit their style, setup and playing environment.

Effects

Effects are guitar pedals and processors used to shape, enhance, or transform your sound. They can add anything from subtle warmth and dynamics control to heavy distortion, modulation, ambience, and time-based textures, allowing players to tailor their tone to different styles and musical situations.

Used individually or combined into a signal chain, effects give players creative control over how their guitar responds and sits in a mix. From simple, single-function pedals to advanced multi-effects units, effects are an essential part of modern guitar setups for both live performance and recording.
