Phase Loop B 

On the side of the Wetter Box 

you’ll

 see a push button

 PHASE LOOP B.

 

When you mix two signals together 

‘in

 

phase’

 they combine and when you 

mix them 

‘out

 of 

phase’

 they cancel each other out. No matter where you 

are in the sweep between LOOP A and LOOP B, both signals - as long as 

they’re

 in phase - will always equal 100%. However, if one of the pedals is 

out of phase, 

you’ll

 notice the signal gets quieter as they combine.  If this 

happens, press the 

PHASE LOOP B

 button to reverse the phase on LOOP B. 

 

The difference between MIX and BLEND 

These are the two modes of Wetter 
Box operation.  
In 

BLEND

 mode (

MIX/BLEND

 Select 

in OUT position) you blend between 
LOOP A and LOOP B. 
 

MIX

 mode adds LOOP B

 

on top of 

LOOP A. 
 
For example, if you put a reverb 
pedal in LOOP A, then a delay pedal 
in LOOP B, you can 

MIX

 the delay 

on top of the reverb without reducing the reverb. This works well with 
pedals that have a KILL DRY or 100% Wet feature. 

 

Using an Expression Pedal 

Plugging an expression pedal into the 

EXP PEDAL Input

 disconnects the 

master 

MIX

 knob, enabling you to blend your effects in real time.  

You can use any commercially available expression pedal with a pot value of 
between 10K and 100K (most are 50k and work well). 

It’s

 also worth noting that no audio is present in the expression pedal, it 

simply uses a controlled voltage that informs the circuit of the blend ratio.  
 

Using a Remote Switch 

The 

REMOTE Switch 

allows you to turn the Wetter Box on and off remotely. 

Any latching switch can now control the ON/OFF state of the Wetter Box. 
This feature is useful if you

re using the Wetter Box in conjunction with your 

amps FX Loop as it eliminates the need for two long audio cable runs. 
Simply leave the Wetter Box at the amp and switch it on/off remotely.
