Noisy Piece of Metal

If you are looking to switch between amps, -like I do- don't buy this pedal. It is too much of a simple pedal, it won't help you with the noise created by ground loops in regular outlets and it doesn't have a both or Y button. It's a cheap unit if you want to use for other things and it has a solid metal box. It didn't work for me

I was looking for an A/B/Y to use because I use two different amps (one for a clean tone and the other for a dirty tone) and I stumbled upon the Switchblade.

This is a great piece of gear. Its completely passive so there are no batteries or power cables to fool with and no "tone suck". Also there is no bleed through and it causes no unwanted sound (like someone said in a different review... I can only assume that they received a bad lemon or they just have no idea what they are talking about!).

If you need an A/B/Y then the look no further! You won't regret purchasing the EHX Switchblade!

Does what it says... click.

I got this because i wanted to be able to have delay continuing looping old sounds without adding more. It does that fine, no buzz or anything, it's completely passive, requiring no power. However, it does cause an audible click in your amp when you switch between channels. But for the price, gets the job done.

Great A/B switching

This is a great little box and made for gigging or studio. You don't need a battery or ac adaptor for it to work because it's passive. Check it out on electro harmonix's website. I loop samples a lot and this helps me work between my two twin reverbs.

Too much noise

I needed an A/B box to change signal path from my strat's signal chain so I could route it to a tuner and kill my normal output in order to tune silently. It would also go out through the tuner to a separate clean amplifier in case of failure in one of my pedal chain.

I came across the new Electro-Harmonix Nano Switchblade. It has cool cosmetics, its lightweight, and a solid cast frame that gives it a sturdy feel. The price tag is friendly, too.

However, when I plugged in both units and powered my amps on, I heard a noticeable buzzing on the silent channel. When I switched over, I had the loud hum on the other channel. This shouldn't happen.

I would suggest stepping up to a whirlwind.

Great idea, good price, and nice, compact size, but doesn't deliver on performance.

Will be sending mine back.
