8-loop programmable switcher with 640 presets, HTS buffering, and 8-channel MIDI control

Flagship programmable loop switching system with 8 effects loops (7 series, 1 separate) and 640 presets across 64 banks. The HTS (Holistic Tonal Solution) circuit runs on an internal ±15V DC rail for preamplifier-grade signal integrity—1M ohm input impedance with sub-200 ohm output impedance at every output.

8 custom quick-response footswitches with 71.5mm vertical and 80mm horizontal spacing. Top panel angled at 12 degrees for better visibility. 6 control terminals (latch/momentary switchable), expression pedal input, and mute function via external footswitch. Link function connects two ARC-3 units for expanded rigs.

Sends up to 8 MIDI Program Change and 8 Control Change messages simultaneously across channels 1-8. Noiseless electronic switching throughout. 446 x 138 x 69mm at 2.0kg. Requires dedicated 12V DC adapter drawing up to 700mA.
