Octa-Switch

The Carl Martin Octa-Switch revolutionized pedalboard organization by allowing guitarists to switch multiple effects simultaneously with a single footswitch. The original Octa-Switch established the category of programmable loop switchers.

Eight effects loops can be programmed in any combination across eight presets using DIP switches adjacent to each footswitch. Silent relay switching eliminates the pops and clicks of mechanical switching. The ninth bypass switch removes all connected pedals from the signal path.

Built in a rugged metal enclosure, the Octa-Switch accommodates the most complex pedalboards while simplifying live performance. External switching jacks enable channel switching on compatible amplifiers.
