I feel like we talked about this one before.

Extremely low tech.

Great way to switch a bunch of pedals on and off if the power goes ... out ... oh, wait ... uh ... minute ...

Considering what the TGP Effects, Pedals, Strings & Things crowd spends their money on, can you blame the manufacturer of this for trying?

Haha, no, and I feel kinda bad for posting it...clearly, someone's spent a lot of time on this, and it's well-machined. And well-intentioned.

But you can't see where your knobs are, can't really adjust them, cant see most of your LED indicators, and you're kind of forced to switch multiple pedals at once.

I mean, I almost get it if you're are rock star that wants to switch between two sets of pedals...but there are also $40 a/b switches that do that.

Someone must be really paranoid about bumping knobs if they resort to this.

Plus unless they are all wired crazy underneath you still just turn them on in order... That's kinda missing the point...

Yeah.. I think that is really what it is... it's for people that only NEED to turn on certain pedals and have no way they can bump the knobs.. and here I am just gaffertaping them...

I usually just employ children and a Whac-A-Mole set up.

Seems to work pretty well.

Seems like this is just a big, heavy, worse alternative to a bypass looper... If you really don't want your precious settings messed with, use tape!
