Pedalboard and Switchboard Basics
LPX’s Pedalboard and Switchboard provide exceptional, fluid control over LPX, both live and
in the studio.
The Pedalboard provides visual display of the guitar status, and pedal functions.
The Switchboard primarily selects and edits sounds, as well as provides sophisticated

Looper functions.
The Pedalboard and Switchboard (as well as LPX itself) are Bluetooth devices that
communicate wirelessly. The pedals can use batteries or the supplied AC adapter, and
operate a minimum of 30 feet (10 meters) from LPX to a maximum of 100 feet.
These devices need to recognize each other—a process called “pairing”—which is done at
the factory. If for any reason they are not paired, or you need to re-pair, see page 27.
Powering the Pedalboard and Switchboard
The pedals can use a common power supply by connecting the two using the Pedal
Power/Data Connector (called “Bone” for short—see the illustration), or be powered
individually. The bone is stored in a slot on the bottom of the Pedalboard; its magnets are
strong, so you may need a screwdriver to pry the bone out of its slot.
Of the following power options, the last two are preferred.
When linked, both pedals can work from a single battery inserted in either pedal (the
battery door is located on the rear of each pedal).
Each pedal can be AC-powered individually.
Each pedal can be battery-powered individually.
When linked, using the supplied AC adapter with one pedal powers both pedals.
