Q: Can the SW2 remote control all amplifiers and effects devices?
A: This is impossible to say. There are simply too many devices made to tell. If the device in question uses a typical 1/4" jack type footswitch, then it will likely work. The SW2 is equipped with the features you need to make most amps work.

Q: Why is the SW2 so expensive?
A: Because it is not a simple dedicated footswitch. A host of electronic circuitry and components such as relays are required to generate the pulses and universal functionality that allow the SW2 to work with most gear.

Q: Is there any advantage to using the SW2 instead of my amp footswitch?
A: There is no difference on the switching. The SW2 is likely smaller and when controlling two different amps, you can eliminate a footswitch from you pedalboard where space is always at a premium!

Q: Can I use the SW2 to remotely control an effects device to turn it on and off?
A: Yes – so long as there is some type of remote on-off switch. Most recording devices are equipped with a typical ¼” jack and footswitch to do this.

Q: Can I use the SW2 to remotely control a punch in function on a recorder?
A: Yes - so long as there is some type of remote on-off switch. Most devices uses a typical ¼” jack with a latching function to do this.

Q: Can I use the SW2 as a sustain pedal?
A: You could in a pinch, but it is not ideal. Sustain pedals are relatively inexpensive and would likely do a much better job.

Q: Can I use the SW2 as a remote mute for tuning if my tuner is set up this way?
A: Yes. Once again, so long as there is some type of remote on-off switch. Many devices are equipped with a typical ¼” 'footswitch' jack with a latching function to do this.
