Unleash the full potential of your pedal board! The Switchboard Effects Operator is a streamlined and compact effects switching solution with a remarkably simple interface, bringing complete signal path control, multi-pedal preset recall, and convenient effects switching right to your feet.

Designed in collaboration with Ron Menelli, the premier loop switching expert called on by the pros, the Switchboard utilizes five rearrangeable relay true bypass effects loops combined with a powerful processor to intuitively reroute your pedal board - all while maintaining a completely analog, high-fidelity signal path. Use the Switchboard to access any combination of pedals in any order, toggle multiple or individual effects on and off, and even control your amp’s footswitches and MIDI enabled pedals.

Don’t bog down your tone workflow with complicated menus; the Switchboard’s graphic user interface and easy-to-use encoder knob makes crafting presets in real time straightforward and fun. The full color LCD screen displays bold visual graphics, so you always know what pedals are on and what preset is currently active. Packed with 500 user presets, a built-in professional tuner, two high fidelity buffers, a built-in volume pedal and much more, the Switchboard provides pro-level board control in a user-friendly package.

Tread-Light Vol./Expr. Pedal

Eine akustische Gitarre mit Overdrive spielen? Knifflig. Das kann leicht unmusikalisch klingen oder störendes Feedback erzeugen. Unser vollanaloger Smolder Acoustic Overdrive löst das Problem elegant mit Fender Know-how: Mit der Funktion „Pickup Compensation” rundest du den spitzen Attack eines Piezo-Pickups ab, schon klingen die Höhen viel weicher. Der Drive-Regler dosiert den Distortion-Anteil, und der 3-Band-EQ mit Filter dient der Klangregelung. Smartes Detail: die Boxensimulation. Damit kannst du deinem Klang mehr Raum geben, wenn du über einen großen Amp oder eine PA spielst.\n \n Der Smolder Acoustic Overdrive samt Schaltkreis ist eine Original Fender Kreation. Das superleichte Gehäuse besteht aus stabilem eloxierten Aluminium. Die Amp Jewel LED ist natürlich ein stilistisches Zitat von unseren klassischen Fender Amps. Dank zuschaltbarer LED-Beleuchtung kannst du die Regler auch auf der dunklen Bühne gut ablesen.

It’s tough to add overdrive to acoustic guitars—not only can it sound un-musical, it can also cause tone-destroying feedback. Designed specifically for use with acoustic instruments, the all-analog Smolder® Acoustic Overdrive elegantly solves these issues with Fender know-how. To soften the bright attack of a piezo pickup we included a Pickup Compensation control that smooths out the highs. The Drive knob controls the amount of distortion, while 3-band EQ and Filter controls let you shape your sound to taste. We even included cabinet simulation to add some flavor when plugged into a full-range acoustic amp or PA.

Designed by our in-house team of experts, the Smolder® Acoustic Overdrive is an all-original Fender circuit. The chassis is crafted from lightweight, durable anodized aluminum, and the Amp Jewel LED gives your pedalboard the classic Fender look. The switchable LED-backlit knobs show your control settings on a dark stage at a glance.

Smolder Acoustic Overdrive

Add some crunch to your low end with the Trapper Bass Distortion. Featuring two separate and stackable distortion circuits, this pedal was designed specifically to fit the tonal needs of electric bass players. The main distortion channel features a crossover-blend circuit to preserve clean low frequency information for clarity and punch while an additional 'solo' distortion channel provides added gain and crunch. The Frequency and Sub Level controls allow you to dial in the fundamental tone.

Trapper Bass Distortion Pedal

Bei zeitbasierten Effekten wie Delay oder Reverb ist die Verzögerungsrate entscheidend dafür, ob sie gut klingen. Das Reflecting Pool Delay/Reverb Pedal kombiniert die beiden Klassiker in einem übersichtlichen Chassis, das sich leicht in jedes Pedalboard integrieren lässt. Der hochmoderne DSP erzeugt dichte, komplexe Algorithmen, mit denen das Reflecting Pool klassische Sounds authentisch darstellen kann, aber auch neue kreative Effekte, die nicht von dieser Welt sind. Mit den Reglern für Type, Variation und Quality stimmst du den Klang ab. Der Time Toggle aktiviert den Rhythmus. Das passende Tempo gibst du mit dem Tap Tempo Fußschalter ein.\n \n \n Den Reflecting Pool Delay/Reverb Schaltkreis hat unser Fender Team selbst konzipiert und gebaut. Das federleichte Gehäuse besteht aus stabilem eloxierten Aluminium. Die Amp Jewel LED kennst du schon von den klassischen Fender Amps. Dank zuschaltbarer LED-Beleuchtung kannst du die Regler auch auf der dunklen Bühne gut ablesen.
