The Electro-Harmonix Switchblade Plus A/B/Y Pedalfrom Electro-Harmonix Switchblade Plus A/B/Y Pedaloffers a convenient solution to a player's switching needs. You can route your signal to either Output A or to Output B, or send it to both outputs at once. You can also connect a tuner or effects pedal to the Tuner output which is hardwired to the Input jack and provides a direct output regardless of the state of the unit. This pedal features a fully passive audio path and active LED indication.

The Switchblade Plus has two footswitches for A/B Mode and A+B Output select, as well as two LEDs acting as Mode and Output indicators. In A/B Mode the left LED is red when routing to Output A and green when routing to Output B; the right LED lights red when the input signal is going through both Outputs A and B.

The Switchblade Plus can be powered by a 9V battery or 9 VDC power supply, and can also operate without any power source, since the audio path is fully passive. However, when using without a power source the LED indicators will not function.

[9.6 oz / 0.3 kg] I got the last one in stock (time to reorder, B&H!) and I can see why... the Mel9 pedal adds a completely new vibe to any electric guitar setup. It's very dynamic and responsive, only slightly losing track with very soft notes. Send the dry out to one amp, and the effect out to another (or the sound board) and your sound palette gets very big very quickly. Like everyone else probably did, I immediately dialed in the flute sound and learned Strawberry Fields Forever, but it doesn't stop there. Strings, cello, orchestra and choir sounds are super-fun and very authentic - even down to the warbly tape sound. One thing I'm considering is putting an EQ pedal on Mel9 as its sounds can be a little harsh in the midrange. Dial that back, add some reverb, set the attack and decay at about 1 o'clock, and you have a string pad like keyboard players have always enjoyed - at a fraction of the cost of MIDI guitar synth. Play around with pickup settings too, as the effect sound definitely responds differently to neck vs. bridge pickups. Playing speed is also a factor... most of the sounds take a little time to bloom, so staccato, rapid picking probably won't let the sounds fully develop. But for adding a huge layer and vintage texture to your sound, the Mel9 is where it's at. I can't wait to try it on bass guitar too. This one will be used a lot. 5

[9.6 oz / 0.3 kg] Best chorus I've played. Limited range but sounds so good. The modern 9v plug is a bonus. 5

[0.695 lb] The EHX series of organ pedals are a breath of fresh air in an industry that seems content recycling the same basic stompbox designs. You can get a wide range of sounds that go from subtle organ texture to bizarre voicings. Having a dry signal out is fantastic for players like me (bass) who want to keep an uneffected signal to my bass rig. Meanwhile I can run the organ sounds into a separate amp and/or series of pedals and tweak to taste. I'm not sure I'll use it in a live setting much, but its a blast to record and play with. 5
