The JHS Switchback is a compact switching utility designed to solve routing challenges in pedalboards, studios, and live rigs. Originally developed for internal use at JHS, it quickly proved indispensable for players needing flexible loop control, A/B switching, and true bypass functionality.

At its core, the Switchback offers two independent effects loops (Send/Return 1 and 2), a single input and output, and a toggle switch that lets you select between loops. Its ideal for comparing pedals, switching between chains, or integrating complex setups with minimal signal loss. The footswitch is 100% true bypass, ensuring your tone remains untouched when disengaged.

The Switchback also supports remote control via the JHS Red Remote, allowing off-board switching for hidden or rack-mounted setups. Whether you're toggling between amps, switching pedal chains, or managing effects loops, the Switchback delivers clean, reliable control in a rugged, pedalboard-friendly format.

Key Applications:

• A/B True Bypass Looper - Compare two pedals or chains instantly
• Simple Bypass Looper - Toggle between clean signal and effects loop
• A/B Box - Route to two amps or outputs
• Amp Input Switcher - Switch between amp channels with separate inputs
• Effects Loop A/B - Integrate into amps FX loop for dual routing options
