SWITCHBLADE-ET 16 X 16 SWITCHING SYSTEM

SWITCHBLADE ET

The new Switchblade ET, the state of the art of our Switchblade family, is new the new standard in all analog guitar and studio effect switching systems. No other system can come close to the abilities of the ET. With the agility to connect effects in series in any order, in parallel, or in series/parallel combinations and with the ability to set levels at every connection to balance effects all under preset control, in addition to the new line/instrument levels settings on all inputs and outputs, this is the most versatile system available at any price. The audio channels of the GL are superbly transparent and with buffers on each of the 16 inputs and outputs your tone is preserved throughout your entire system. This system replaces the now discontinued Switchblade GL. The GL has been the standard and trusted by the top guitarists in the world for decades.
