A "Pedalboard Reconciler" Designed as a Modern Routing Hub
The Swiss Things is not an effects pedal in the "tone coloring" sense, but a routing tool that improves comfort, reliability, and signal quality. The idea is simple: gather in one place what often complicates a pedalboard (effects loops, amp selection, tuner, boost, volume) to achieve a cleaner setup, faster operation, and easier troubleshooting. It naturally sits in a corner of the pedalboard, like a high-end junction box, to centralize inputs/outputs and reduce unnecessary cable lengths.
Who Is the Swiss Things For?
It targets both the guitarist who wants a "plug and play" pedalboard and the stage musician who needs reliable foot control. Whether you play rock, blues, pop, indie, metal, or ambient, you will mainly benefit from better organization: activating/bypassing entire effect sections, managing a live set, switching between amps, or powering a tuner without disturbing the main signal.
The Swiss Things is especially relevant in studio settings (quick routing, reproducible configurations) and on intermediate to pro-level pedalboards, when the number of pedals and cables starts to make the signal less stable, or when you want to avoid "surprises" (noise, loss of highs, changing levels).

Questions frequently asked
Can two amps be used with the EarthQuaker Swiss Things?
The AB/Y section allows selection of output A, output B, or both simultaneously. Output B features transformer isolation and a phase inversion switch.
Which loop should be used for a fuzz and a delay?
The unbuffered Loop 1 is designed for overdrives, distortions, and fuzz pedals that are sensitive to buffers. Buffered Loop 2 accommodates modulation and time-based effects, such as chorus, delays, or reverbs. When left unconnected, this second loop can function as a mute.
What power supply is required for the Swiss Things?
A 9 V DC power supply with center negative polarity and a 2.1 mm connector is required; the current consumption is specified as 40 mA.
Does the Swiss Things have a tuner output and volume control?
A buffered tuner output allows a tuner to be connected permanently. The Volume EXP input accepts an expression pedal and is located after Loop 1, enabling volume adjustment without altering the gain of distortion pedals.
Can the built-in boost be used for solos?
The adjustable boost provides up to 20 dB of clean gain after the two effect loops. Its footswitch activation can increase output level or drive an amplifier input harder.
