TRS INSERT

Using the TRS insert breaks the connection between loops 3 and 4. This allows you to patch in a
volume pedal or additional effects that you don’t need Pedal Switcher to control. TRS refers to the
type of stereo 1/4-inch plug (Tip, Ring, Sleeve) which then breaks out into mono IN and OUT jacks.
This is commonly referred to as an “insert point” cable.

In this example, we’ve placed a volume pedal after the distortion and vibe sounds, but before the
delay. Set up like this, you can volume swell into chords with delay without the initial pick
attack getting repeated.

A/B SWITCHING

Pedal Switcher’s last loop can easily be used for A/B switching. In the example below, we’re
using Loop 4 as an amp selector. When the loop is engaged (LED on), the signal goes to AMP A
via the SEND jack. When the loop is bypassed, the signal goes straight to AMP B via Pedal
Switcher’s main OUTPUT jack.
