{"product_id":"jhs-pedals-switchback-333240","title":"Switchback","description":"\u003ch3\u003eA JHS \"workshop tool\" turned pedalboard weapon\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriginally, the Switchback was designed as an internal tool at JHS Pedals to quickly test, compare, and \"shoot\" pedals. The idea is simple: provide a compact box capable of cleanly switching between two signal paths, without cable gymnastics and without having to re-patch the pedalboard for each test. Available since \u003cstrong\u003eFebruary 2019\u003c\/strong\u003e at several retailers, it has established itself as a modern routing solution for musicians who want to keep a clear, scalable, and fast-to-control setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Switchback for? The missing link between your ideas and your rig\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe JHS Switchback is aimed at both guitarists and bassists, from musicians building their first \"clean\" pedalboard to pros needing to secure a show. In \u003cstrong\u003econcert\u003c\/strong\u003e, it allows switching from one effects chain to another (or from one amp to another depending on use) without losing time between songs. In the \u003cstrong\u003estudio\u003c\/strong\u003e, it becomes formidable for comparing two overdrives, two delays, or two complete chains at equal levels, to decide by ear and playing feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRegarding styles, it fits perfectly wherever textures alternate: blues\/rock (clean vs drive), metal (rhythm vs lead), pop (two modulation colors), or ambient (two delay\/reverb architectures). If you like experimenting (effect order, dedicated loops, conceptual parallel paths), the Switchback brings immediate flexibility without weighing down the pedalboard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures and routing: 2 loops, one selector, countless scenarios\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Switchback offers \u003cstrong\u003e1 input\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e1 output\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003e2 distinct effects loops\u003c\/strong\u003e (Loop 1 and Loop 2) in Send\/Return format. An A\/B selector chooses which loop is active, and the footswitch handles activation\/deactivation in \u003cstrong\u003etrue bypass\u003c\/strong\u003e. The clever point: if a loop is not wired, the Switchback automatically \u003cstrong\u003eignores it\u003c\/strong\u003e to simplify daily use and avoid \"dummy\" patches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePractically, you can use it as a \u003cstrong\u003etrue bypass A\/B looper\u003c\/strong\u003e (two different chains), as a \u003cstrong\u003esimple looper\u003c\/strong\u003e (one chain on\/off), as an \u003cstrong\u003eA\/B box\u003c\/strong\u003e to route to two destinations, as an \u003cstrong\u003eamp input selector\u003c\/strong\u003e (handy on some vintage amps with multiple inputs), or as an \u003cstrong\u003eA\/B effects switcher in the amp loop\u003c\/strong\u003e (to toggle between two post-preamp treatments). And if your setup requires remote control, the pedal accepts control via \u003cstrong\u003eRed Remote\u003c\/strong\u003e, perfect for placing the box under the pedalboard and keeping control accessible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere, no overdrive \"grit\" or delay color: the Switchback has a clear mission, \u003cstrong\u003enot to be heard\u003c\/strong\u003e. Thanks to \u003cstrong\u003etrue bypass\u003c\/strong\u003e, your tone remains intact when the pedal is off, making it an excellent choice to preserve attack, dynamics, and pickup response, even in the middle of a loaded pedalboard. Its musical value lies elsewhere: it enables clean transitions, instant comparisons, and a smarter rig architecture without sacrificing playing feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn stage, it appears in rigs focused on performance and organization: musicians like \u003cstrong\u003eJustin Chancellor\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eBrandon Ellis\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003eMarty Stuart\u003c\/strong\u003e have been seen with a Switchback in their setup, proof that this kind of discreet tool can become central as soon as you want to secure and speed up sound management.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e@media(max-width:632px){table[data-wb-spec]{display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr)
