Video: EarthQuaker Devices Swiss Things Demo

Our friends over at EarthQuaker Devices released a new effects looper pedal today called the Swiss Things, and Andy is checking it out in the video up above. This multifunctional pedal features two independent, switchable effects loops that you can use to place multiple pedals into configurations of your choosing.

As Andy explains, "There's no wrong way to arrange your pedals, but you can think of it as an easy way to control your dirt or filtering effects on one loop and all your time-based pedals on the other loop with a single click."

The other major component of the Swiss Things is its AB/Y box—complete with transformer isolation and phase correction—that allows players to send their signal to two different amplifiers. EarthQuaker's "flex" switch allows for latching or momentary bursts of pedals or amps and is enabled on the effects loops and the AB/Y box.

Adding to its versatility is an adjustable clean boost circuit and an independent tuner output so that players can keep their tuner plugged in and engaged at all times. And there's also an output for an expression pedal. With so many useful functions available, you can see how it got its name.

In the video above, watch Andy experiment with the Swiss Things, stacking some of his pedals in each of the effects loops and testing out the built-in clean boost circuit. If you like what you see, you can pick up your own EarthQuaker Devices Swiss Things right here on Reverb.
