When you complete or re-organize a pedalboard, you're often making difficult choices about the order of your effects. And if you have a sizable collection of pedals, you have to choose which ones will fit and which must be set aside. The LAA-Custom SmartSwitcher is a way to instead have every possibility at your feet.
The SmartSwitcher system has everything you'd expect from a high-end switcher: 14 effects loops allow you to create all manner of configurations, and each preset you save can have its own unique effects sequence.
But the SmartSwitcher goes further with next-level digital and wireless control, none of which gets in the way of the fully analog signal path. While the Switcher itself can fit snugly underneath or nearby your pedalboard itself, the remote control footswitch is entirely wireless. It can travel with you to the far ends of the stage, and let you tuck your pedalboard and even larger effects—say, vintage big boxes or tape echo machines—close to your amp.
With the SonicMind app, you can also save an unlimited amount of presets, giving you the chance to save different effects sequences for different passages, songs, and whole setlists.
More features, according to SmartSwitcher, include:
- Full output level and boost (up to 6dB), programmable for each preset
- Optional extension unit to expand by additional 5 footswitches
- Stereo or a/b/y user-selectable outputs
- Programmable dry signal in parallel with mono loops 1 & 2
- LAA True Coil transformers on the main output
- Phase reverse on Output A or B
- Audio-grade buffers
- Ground-loop isolator
- 4 aux switches for amp channel switching
- 2 expression pedal inputs
- MIDI in/out interface, with full MIDI mapping via app
- Full, secure back-up of all settings and preset + offline editing
The LAA-Custom SmartSwitcher is available for preorder, exclusively on Reverb, now.
