Ok, so you
have eight effects pedals
which you use regularly.
You use various
combinations of these
pedals in various songs,
but you are not good at
tap dancing...or you are
just clumsy and have
(once or twice) stepped
on the ultra tricked
out-metalized-distortion
pedal for the lead in
your one ABBA cover. You
have seen the digital
effects controllers they
use on the big stages,
and have secretly yearned
for one... even though
you may never make the
big stage. Enter Thomas
Guldmann's Octa-switch
II. Your eight effects
plug into the eight
effects-loops on the back
of this unit (all
true-bypass, impedance
free, gold relays so you
can run any of your
pedals, new and old
without problem), and
then by turning on or off
the numbered switches in
each of eight DIP Bank
switches, you determine
which effects you wish to
use simultaneously in
each Bank. There is a
blue LED for every
effects loop used and for
each Bank (so once you
are programmed, when you
step on Bank 6 you will
see the lights of all the
effects you have assigned
to Bank 6 and the Bank 6
LED). The Octa-switch II
has incorporated a couple
new features as well! The
ninth switch on the left
side of the case is a
BYPASS Switch...this
allows you to completely
bypass all eight pedals
and enjoy only the
unaffected sound of your
amplifier. There are also
two External Switching
jacks which allow you to
use two amplifiers and/or
switch channels on those
amps. Once you have all
the Banks programmed, we
recommend placing a piece
of scotch or electrical
tape over each DIP
(...just to protect the
switch from accidental
switching, damage or
floods...like beer).
There is a buffered (or
not...switchable) Mono
input and a stereo
Output, and the unit is
powered by dual 9v
batteries, or by a
regulated power
supply...like the Big
John or the Pro Power
(both by Carl
Martin).
