1. With power removed from the Switchblade, plug a dual
momentary footswitch into the stereo footswitch jack on the
back panel and power up again.
NOTE:
THE FOOTSWITCH MUST BE PLUGGED IN BEFORE POWERING UP THE
SWITCHBLADE AS IT AUTOMATICALLY DETECTS THE FOOTSWITCH TYPE ON POWER UP.
2. Using a setup menu, the user tells the Switchblade which outputs are connected as final outputs. For a single amp setup
only one would be picked; for a 2 amplifier setup, 2 outputs would be selected, and so on (see Remote Adjust Setup). Presets
are programmed as usual, and the Preset Manager is turned off.
3. While in “play” mode, the user scrolls through the presets using either a MIDI footpedal or the front panel and compares
output levels of each preset with respect to other presets. The user then selects a preset that sounds louder or softer than the
others.
4. The level of the chosen outputs is increased or decreased by pressing on the momentary footswitch. The footswitch
connected to the “tip” of the footswitch jack will increase the level while the one connected to the “ring” will decrease the
level. Each time the footswitch is pressed, the level changes by 3dB.
NOTE:
SINCE THIS FEATURE PERMANENTLY RE-PROGRAMS THE CURRENT PRESET, IT SHOULD BE USED
ONLY TO FINE TUNE OVERALL LEVELS BETWEEN PRESETS AS PART OF THE PRESET PROGRAMMING
PROCESS AND SHOULD NOT BE USED TO ARBITRARILY CHANGE LEVELS DURING A PERFORMANCE. THE
CONTINUOUS CONTROL FEATURE SHOULD BE USED FOR THIS INSTEAD.
For more information on Remote Adjust, please see the (REMOTE ADJUST) section.
DIRECT CONTROL OF CONTROL OUTPUTS:
The Switchblade 8B has 2 jacks on the back panel that are each connected to relays that may be switched on or off under
preset control. These 2 outputs are used to simulate mechanical footswitches that are used to turn on or off the overdrive and
reverb channels of amplifiers or to control effects devices that have a footswitch input. Each preset can be programmed to set
the state of the relays and the relays will respond as the presets change.
Under special circumstances it may be desireable to turn on or off a control output directly without changing a preset. This can
be done using either MIDI Program Change commands or Control Change commands for use where “Instant Access”
switches are used. When a new preset is selected, the preset will once again set the states of the relays. The values are shown
here.

USING MIDI CONTINUOUS CONTROL:
1. Be sure all channels are programmed correctly using your SETUP menu. Be sure your MIDI controller and continuous
controller are set to the same channel.
2. The Switchblade can respond to two separate continuous controllers. Using your CONTINUOUS CONTROLLER
ASSIGNMENT (SETUP MENU GROUP), be sure to assign the UP or DOWN switch to the corresponding controller. Also
be sure to set the controller number to the appropriate controller to assure ease in controlling patches.
3. Use the PATCHING AND GAIN MENU (PRESET PROGRAMMING GROUP) to set the gain ranges if the patch is to
have continuous control and, if using two controllers, to determine which controller it will be assigned to.
