The MFX Patch-Bay is designed to connect guitar effects to enable their remote switching with MFX Prog or MFX Remote controllers. Unlike other devices, the MFX Patch-Bay uses relays instead of switches. Most switch based bypass and routing devices use components that are simply NOT DESIGNED for switching audio signals. The relays used in the MFX Patch Bay have been specially designed for switching high-quality audio signals so that there is absolutely no impact on your sound.

MFX Patch Bay is divided into two sections: A and B. Each of these sections has a separate input and output and can control up to four effects or sets of effects. This functional division allows section A to be connected before preamp and section B to be connected in a guitar amp FX loop. With no plugs in section A’s output socket and section B’s sockets, both sections are cascaded together. Alternatively, Section A’s output and section B’s input B can be used also as an additional effect loop (e.g, to connect a volume pedal after distortion/overdrive effects but before modulation effects such as delay, chorus, flanger, etc.).

Send and Return sockets for each FX loop are used to connect to guitar effects or series of effects. With the MFX Remote it is possible to activate the loops individually, with the MFX Prog you can activate any combination of the loops with one stomp.

There is also a channel socket which is designed to replace the amplifier’s footswitch (normally used to switch between clean and overdrive channels). In this way, the amplifier’s channel switching function can also be controlled. Alternatively, this can be used to control another separate looper.
