Once you've dialed in the perfect pedal combination, you can save it as a preset in the Switchboard's onboard memory. With the capacity to store up to 500 presets, you'll always have your signature tones on tap. Scroll through presets and load them on the fly using the Selector knob and LCD screen. The display indicates the active preset along with each loop's on/off status so you always know which effects are engaged.

With the built-in expression pedal connectivity, you can morph between two different presets for dynamic real-time transitions. The Switchboard makes it simple to manage even the most complex series of effects.
