The Effect Gizmo is a programmable true bypass loop switcher. With this switcher, you can take control of up to twelve pedals or effects processors and can control them from any MIDI controller. Turn on any group of pedals with a single button press! You can define up to 256 presets, each of which can turn on any or all of the connected pedals.

The Effect Gizmo is a rack mountable MIDI controllable 12 loop audio switcher. You can use the Effect Gizmo to control your pedals with any midi controller, either in a rack setup or on your pedalboard. A single button press on your MIDI controller can turn on any of the pedals connected to the Effect Gizmo, making it a lot easier to manage your effects.  You can also program the Effect Gizmo to change channels on certain amps and engage various functions on pedals that have ¼-inch switching inputs.

With its clean, transparent sounding audio path, acclaimed buffer circuit and road-worthy construction, it’s easy to see why the Effect Gizmo is being used by so many big name touring bands!
