Introduction  

 
The Accel FX22 Command Center Switcher combines two great products together for a clean and easy to setup pedal 
board. This pedal board is primarily designed to switch multiple guitar effects pedals at the same time along with some 
amp switching functions using a single footswitch. Different combinations of effects pedals and different switchable amp 
settings can be stored on different patches allowing the player to easily change between multiple effects loops and 
switchable amp settings with the ease of a single footswitch.  When using your Accel programmable switcher pedal board 
it is important to understand which mode you are currently in.  

There are two primary modes, 

“Program Mode” and 

Recall Mode”. Remembering this is foundational and will keep you from attempting to program a function when 
in recall mode or attempting to recall a loop when in program mode.

 At the end of the manual, there is a Glossary to 

help clear up any terms the user may not understand. Once the switcher is hooked up properly, the user should be able to 
go through this manual in about a half an hour or so and understand all the switchers functions. Be sure to keep the 
manual for reference, especially as a reminder for the lesser used functions. An instructional video is also available online 
at accelaudio.com that mirrors this manual teaching all the functions in an abbreviated form.    
 

FX22 Command Center Pedal Board Setup 

 

Step 1: Mount your power supply. 

 

 
There are 3 power supply mounting methods that are available depending on your power supply of choice and your 
preferred mounting method. (Route AC input cables through any one of the 

four 1 ¼”  strain reliefs)    

 

 
Accel FX Power Source 8 and FX power Source 10M screw mount options. 
 

 

 

 
Universal Power Supply mounting method “A”.  (3M Dual Lock using parallel strips)   

 

When two pieces of Dual Lock fasteners are pressed together, the mushroom heads 
interlock with one another, with an audible snap. 

When you have parallel strips of your 3M dual lock mounted to one 

end of your power supply surface and the other strips to your pedal board, do not try to pull your power supply 
straight off! It will be very difficult. Pull your power supply off at an angle or use a pry bar.
