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.

Bluetooth

Provides a short-range wireless data or audio connection. Depending on the design it may carry backing audio, editing commands, preset management or MIDI rather than the live instrument signal; codec delay and supported Bluetooth profiles determine what the connection can do.

MIDI

Sends, receives or responds to Musical Instrument Digital Interface messages rather than carrying the instrument audio itself. Program changes recall presets, continuous controllers move parameters, and MIDI clock or transport messages synchronise timing between devices.

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.
