Pedalboard management from the Swiss Army knife of stompboxes.

Getting the most out of the gear you already own is underrated. Those carefully curated pedals of yours may be doing a great job, but they can often turn out to be capable of giving far more. Taking a fresh look at how your pedal board fits together can not only end up making everything sound better, but it can also open new doors creatively.

EarthQuaker Devices’ Swiss Things is a practical and relatively affordable key to unlocking that potential – the idea being to provide a smaller and more concise alternative to those switching systems that are considered by many to be an overkill in terms of features and price.
