Detail 01
Channel selector, not an effect
It sends a switching signal to another device. On its own it changes nothing about your tone.

Electro-HarmonixSwitchblade+ Channel Selector Footswitch
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A footswitch for changing channels on gear that takes one. Buy it if your amp or preamp shipped without a switch or yours died.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a lost or broken factory channel footswitch
- Players who set tones at the amp and switch by foot
- Adding hands-free channel changes to a footswitch-capable amp
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone wanting a sound of its own — it makes none
- Amps with no external footswitch jack
- Players needing to switch several devices from one box
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
Footswitch format
Sits on the floor and operates by foot, so both hands stay on the instrument mid-song.
Detail 03
Electro-Harmonix build
Same enclosure approach as their pedals — meant to live on a floor and get stepped on.
Detail 04
Around $56
Roughly replacement-part money. Cheaper than most factory footswitches sold separately by amp makers.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this work with my amp?
Only if your amp has a footswitch jack and its switching scheme matches. Check your amp's manual for the jack type and switching behavior before buying.
02Does it change my sound?
No. It only tells another device to switch channels. All tone comes from the amp or preamp it is plugged into.
03Is a cable included?
Plan on sourcing the connecting cable yourself. It runs from the footswitch to your amp's footswitch jack, not to your instrument.
04Can I use it as a bypass switch for pedals?
It is built to select channels on gear with a footswitch input, not to bypass pedals in a signal chain.
