Pedal Switchers

A pedal switcher routes effects through independently controlled loops so several pedals can be engaged, bypassed or reordered from one set of footswitches. Simple loop strips shorten the live signal path; programmable systems store combinations as presets and may send MIDI commands or change amplifier channels. Loop count, buffer placement, stereo support, spillover and routing flexibility define the system.

Presets

Stores complete groups of parameter values for later recall. The number of locations, switching time, spillover behaviour and whether presets include routing, expression and MIDI assignments determine how completely one sound can change into another.

Tap Tempo

Measures repeated foot taps and converts their interval into an effect rate or delay time. Subdivisions translate that pulse into dotted, triplet or other rhythmic values, while averaging and range limits influence how quickly and accurately the tempo settles.

USB

Provides a Universal Serial Bus connection for power, audio, MIDI, firmware or editing data. The supported USB class and connector do not by themselves show its purpose; channel count, sample format, host compatibility and power demand define the actual function.
