The Switcher That Puts You in Charge

The Voodoo Lab's PX-8 Plus Pedal Switcher delivers true bypass performance for all your favorite effects pedals. It boasts eight high-quality footswitches that allow you to bring your pedals into the signal only when you want to. The PX-8 Plus also offers 36 customizable preset tones that you can access with a single stomp and MIDI in and out to interface with a MIDI switcher. And it carries a thin compact design to give more space for your effects. Get optimal tone from your effects with the Voodoo Lab PX-8 Plus — and all without any tone-sucking circuitry.

True bypass loops remove unwanted effects from the chain

Every guitarist has that effect that we just can't live without, but when it's in the chain it wreaks havoc on our signal. You don't have to compromise any longer with the PX-8 Plus pedal switcher from Voodoo Lab. The eight footswitches on the face of the unit bring your effects in and out of the signal chain only when you want them. And your signal runs pure and clean right past any effects not selected. That means you can now crank up that vintage fuzz box on your board and not even know it's there when it's not in use.

36 customizable preset pedal combinations

As an upgrade to Voodoo Lab's PX-8 Pedal Switcher, the PX-8 Plus retains the fine gold contact relays, eight true-bypass effects loops, and convenient size. But the Plus version ups the ante with 36 user-definable presets. You can still use the PX-8 Plus in standard mode to insert and remove effects on the fly, but by moving into preset mode, a single stomp can pull up a string of effects for an instant lead tone, ambient tone, and more. Sweetwater wants to help simplify your live performance. The Voodoo Lab PX-8 Plus is just the ticket.

MIDI connections for expanding your MIDI capabilities

For players who want one-step access to multiple pedals, the PX-8 Plus is fully MIDI integrable. MIDI switchers such as Voodoo Lab's Commander open up a world of possibilities. Now you can pull up a string of any of the effects you want with one stomp. Not only that, but you can even program it to select the presets you've created in some of your favorite digitally controlled effects! Let's face it, you're a guitar player, not a tap dancer. Now you can get down to the business you're there to do with the PX-8 Plus from Voodoo Lab.

Compact design to take up minimal pedalboard space

One design issue that plagues many different pedal switchers is their size. Often bulky by nature, there is little room left on your board for your actual effects. And with airline weight restrictions and travel getting more difficult in general, sometimes getting a larger pedalboard isn't an option. The PX-8 Plus comes in an impressively compact package. It'll even fit on one rail of a pedaltrain pedalboard. Now all your favorite effects pedals will have room to breathe on the board you already have.

Voodoo Lab PX-8 Plus Pedal Loop Switcher Features:

  • 8 true bypass audio loops using the finest gold contact relays
  • 1-button access to 36 customizable preset effects combinations
  • Instantly recall 128 preset combinations of effects via MIDI
  • Compatible with Ground Control Pro or any MIDI controller
  • Insert point between loops 6 and 7 for volume pedals and more
  • Output buffer preserves tone even with long cable run to amp
  • Quiet Switching technology for lowest possible noise
  • Conveniently power from any Pedal Power 9VDC output
  • Handbuilt in Voodoo Lab's Santa Rosa, California, factory
  • Legendary Voodoo Lab quality and reliability
  • 5-year warranty

What is Demo Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call a "demo" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

What demo means to us is that we've had it out of the box, or maybe it was in a customer's hands for a few days and isn't "factory fresh" as a result. Every demo item we sell has Sweetwater's 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty, and has been tested and verified up to "new" specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it's in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Demo item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!

Nice pedal - needs better manual

As with Voodoo Lab products, they just work well but need better manuals.

AJ my sales agent help me get this pedal quickly delivered to my home.

As can be seen as I am assembling the pedal a few days ago, PX-8 fits nicely. ( Still finalizing permanent wiring instead of store bought cabling)

I should state that these pedals are installed on a Fender Professional Pedalboard also purchased from Sweetwater, as are most of these pedals.

Exactly What I Needed

I spent the better part of two months looking at reviews and tutorials for numerous switchers. Ultimately I went with the PX-8 Plus and I am glad I did. Programming is very easy and intuitive. The PX-8 Plus has given me way more flexibility than I had anticipated and has restored some of the high frequencies that had been lost due to pedals being daisy chained together and always in the loop. Although I don't use MIDI at this time, having the capability of MIDI is a great feature. This thing is built solid and feels great. The switches are high quality as are the I/O's. I am also glad that this was built in the USA. I'm glad I went with the PX-8 Plus.

A dream come true

This is exactly the thing I was looking for! I was definitely intimidated by the price and not having the knowledge to just hook it up, but the voodoo labs guys at gear fest really explained it well. After I got it home and installed, it worked perfectly. It's easy to program and use. If you have a lot of pedals and did a lot of tap dancing during your songs, this is the ticket!
Rated 5/5

Love this thing!

Simple and rugged, like all VooDoo Labs products. I found this switcher very intuitive to program once all of the pedals were connected. I like how you can easily switch between preset mode and being able to on-off any pedal. I should have gotten one of these years ago!!!

All You Need

I was looking for a programmable bypass looper with midi control and there are a few cheaper options out there but after reading a number of reviews and youtube tutorials on how to program and operate it all seemed either far too involved to do simple operations or lacked midi functions that I really wanted. Some of the cheaper units out there had reviews stating issues with saved midi information being lost. Other loopers were much more expensive or too large taking up 2 rail spaces on something like a pedaltrain pedalboard.

The px-8 plus takes up one rail space, and simple midi function. I'm only running 1 delay pedal with midi so admittedly I can't say I run a very elaborate midi based pedalboard but this unit really does what I need. I run this with my DD-500 delay and basically preset 1-36 are just midi channel 1-36. So I just determine which preset I want to assign to which delay patch and it changes my delay as I toggle through the presets.

The buttons don't "click" for better or worse. I really don't care whether my footswitch clicks or not. Operates on 100mA 9V power which is great because you don't need to burn a higher volt or mA output from your power supply unit. And what I really like about this unit that it's really easy to add loops to your existing presets and it can be done via foot operation and on the fly.

Anyone who had a gig where they thought they had the right pedals programed only to realize in the middle of the song you added or needed to add in a pedal, with this unit with one click you can easily get into the program mode so you can add/take out whichever loop you want. My previous unit I had to push a button to get into edit mode (not a foot switch but a button) which can be annoying in the middle of a gig.

If you want solely a 8 channel looper, save your money, because there's lots of other choices out there for much less. Get this unit if you have midi capable pedals and want/need programmable loop presets with 36 presets. If you need more than 36 presets I remember seeing you can interface with something like a midi mouse and get 128 presets. I'm good with 36...more than I need.

This looper is a life saving! digital multi-effects unit convenience but great analog sound from the pedals of my choosing.
