8-Loop FX Pedal Switcher with MIDI Control

The do-it-all EHX Super Switcher puts an end to unwieldy stomp switching. For the pedal purist, this means your 3-pedal stacked overdrive and front-and-back noise gates can now be recalled at a moment's notice, without ever stepping away from the mic. Eight independent, mechanically relayed true bypass loops in the Super Switcher's rear allow you access any pedal combination directly from the front of your board. MIDI in/out even lets you program exactly when your pedals switch on in your sets with pinpoint accuracy. So that shimmer 'verb you only engage when you kick on the digital delay after the compressor for your 2-second bridge interlude? Now it's easy to recall as a single stomp with the Electro-Harmonix Super Switcher from Sweetwater.

8 loops, 8 switches

More and more guitarists have taken to stacking drive and ambience pedals to find their tone. This poses a problem for both the stage and the studio, wherein you might be playing rhythm guitar or singing one moment and have to switch five stomps right when the chorus section kicks in. With the Super Switcher's eight true bypass loops and dedicated footswitches, you've got access to virtually any pedal combo on your board at a moment's notice.

MIDI control permits pinpoint switch precision

If you're a performer who plays along to a click, the Super Switcher's MIDI control lets you program exactly when each pedal chain kicks on and off. This is perfect for the performer who wants to take their studio tones to the stage, without the tap-dance switching routine common to larger live pedalboards.

Dedicated tap and tuner switches

Other reasons why the EHX Super Switcher is the perfectly integrated pedal platform are its dedicated tap and tuner switches. Now you can tap in BPM for multiple time-based effects at once, or pull up your pedal tuner while muting your output, directly from the Super Switcher.

Electro-Harmonix Super Switcher Features:

  • 8-loop FX pedal switcher
  • Access complex pedal stacks in a heartbeat
  • Great for the stage and studio
  • MIDI control for hands-off precision switching
  • Mechanically relayed true bypass loops — won't suck your tone
  • Dedicated Tuner switch engages your pedal tuner and mutes your output
  • Tap switch can control multiple time-based effects simultaneously
  • Power supply included

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!

Simple to Use Pedal Switcher

The EHX Super Switcher has a very intuitive layout and is very simple to use. I've yet to get into the midi features but one feature I do wish it had was a computer interface to aid programming including midi settings.

Overall a very nice unit so far, I'm very happy with the purchase. I chose this over the Voodoo Labs PX-8; I do prefer the size of the PX-8 but EHX Super Switcher seems to be much more user-friendly with more useful features (integrated ctrl pedals, etc.).

Just what I was looking for

This unit is quick and easy. No complicated programing. Very user friendly, and it does everything you need. It will change the channels on your amp, control you midi gear, and drop pedals in and out as needed. I use mine in four-cable method and its great. It will not allow you to move pedals around within the chain as you switch the program, but not many people need that. This is great if you want to avoid the "tap-dance" while you are playing.
by Ted Renner from Macomb, IL on

It's a switcher unit....

First off, $+ for this unit is more than a bit much. Does what it claims. Buffer quality and impedance issues are good. I am not a huge fan of EHX reliability but since this is just a switch matrix it does not require high end processing and high end super chip processors. Issue with jacks being too close on the back panel matrix, you are going to want to get patch cables with a straight on one end. I am fond of using the EBS flat cables and they will fit but it is a bit of a squeeze and artful turning to get them to fit. This unit does not allow the essential order of effects to be changed, but I knew that going in, and that is fine with me as I have no need to really move things around that my array of boosts and drives offer any mix already and an easy placement adjust if needed. Quality of the unit is acceptable and well made, sonic it seems to do what one expects on taking things out of chain and improving overall signal quality. I really just use it to turn loops on and off and I have not really programmed patches yet to pre load multi loops of effects. I have my Compressor Pro going into the Super Switch and all my drives and boosts loaded in the loops, my wah, vibe, octave pedals are in the loops as well. My delays and reverbs are in line after my Synergy preamp rig so I have no need to put them in the switcher. Strymon buffers and impedance are as good as it gets so there is no signal loss issue on them to worry about. This switcher is expensive but aren't all of them with programming ability. This one does not change loop orders that the others will do but also at a higher cost. There are some basic just simple switch bypass units you can find which are a little less than this one. But all in all, if you run a large board it really helps with organizing pedals and not having to try and "toe" into a small space to turn something on/off. Not having the usual cascade of buffers/bypass and impedance issues is also a benefit.
