User Reviews of the Electro Harmonix Nano Switch Blade
Submitted by AULOS from Hereford Uk (488 points) on Jul 25, 2008
Much like all Electro Harmonix pedals the inputs are opposite to most others that I use; So when I use this it tends to be upside down. This can be used simply to switch amps or guitars or loops. Personally I use it to send a Kaoss pad through my rig instead of my guitar. When I run it to switch between 2 outputs on a Boss DD-5 I have to run it upside down but this is a 5 minute fix. It's a passive pedal that is virtually indestructible and has worked for me flawlessly live for a good year.
Good Points: Passive
Strong
Compact and Simple
Cheap
Bad Points: No indication of which channel due to being passive so if you switch it by accident on a pedal board it could be a problem.

Works well to switch between two sound sources.
Although switch pops audibly when depressed, the pop
sound does not bleed into the signals that are passing
through the pedal.
Although I already use a stereo delay pedal, I find the
switchblade useful to switch between a contact mic
and another sound source. Setting things up this way
allows both sources to pan evenly through my Boss
DD-6.
Good Points: versatile
no change to signals
passive / no battery required
