Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Swiss Things brings pedalboard routing, loop control, output switching, boost, tuner connection and expression-controlled volume into one compact junction box. Keep gain pedals in the unbuffered first loop, then place modulation and time-based pedals in the buffered second loop. The Flexi-Switch footswitches can work as latching or momentary controls, so one board can handle quick bypasses, temporary effects and two-output routing without scattering connections across the pedals.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Organizing gain and modulation pedals into separate switchable loops from one pedalboard junction point.
- Running Output A and transformer-isolated Output B to separate amplifiers, with phase control available on Output B.
- Using an expression pedal after the dirt loop to change volume without changing gain.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Use requires 9V DC power; relay-based switching needs power to pass signal.
- A tuner connected to the tuner output must remain turned on to avoid extra noise.
- Stereo effects placed after the outputs require both outputs selected; do not engage the Phase switch in that arrangement.
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Loop 2: buffered
Assign delay, reverb, chorus, phaser, flanger, and other time-based or modulation effects here. With nothing connected, it serves as a mute.
Detail 03
20 dB clean boost
The boost sits after both effects loops and works as an output boost.
Detail 04
Output B transformer isolation and Phase switch
Output B supports a second amplifier and provides phase adjustment for pedals or amplifiers that invert phase.
Detail 05
5.67 × 2.24 × 4.76 inches; 1.39 lb
Sized for placement at the top-right corner of a pedalboard.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Place mono always-on compressors, preamps, and EQ pedals before the Swiss Things input.
- 02Connect gain pedals through Loop 1 and modulation effects through Loop 2.
- 03The Volume EXP jack accepts an expression pedal for volume control.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can the footswitches be used momentarily?
Yes. Hold a Flexi-Switch footswitch for momentary operation; release it to bypass. A tap provides latching operation.
02What happens when Loop 2 is empty?
With nothing plugged into Loop 2, it functions as a mute.
03How is the tuner connected?
Connect the tuner to the buffered tuner output and leave the tuner switched on.
04What power does Swiss Things need?
It requires 9V DC with a 2.1 mm negative-center barrel and draws 40 mA.
