User reviews

Its a good start

I just got this installed on a new guitar and I’m thrilled with the switch idea. The app on the other hand has a ways to go. There are some quirks on this version. Occasional duplication of preset saves in the load list, greyed out preset saves. Theres no real way to see what is currently loaded in the switch from the app. Saving a preset group should prompt with a list of saved presets rather than typing put a new one each time as replacing an existing preset should be an option (select and replace). It would be helpful to have a small iconography of the pickup layouts with each save to preview what is in the save before you load it. Having the name of the currently loaded preset at the top would be helpful.

Future switch mods might should include the ability to have several presets loaded where they could be selected by pushing the switch knob to select one of three preloaded preset saves. quickly going from a blazing humbucker to a strat or tele without opening the app.

Its a useful first run but has room for improvement.

Amazingly flexible

It’s turned my 3 rails humbucker strat into a subtle tone shaping machine. A lot
Of the sounds are similar, but for recording, the little nuances make a difference.

Such an awesome tone shaping tool

I installed the switch into my guitar loaded with 3 humbuckers and it has unlocked so many cool sounds and interesting tone options for my studio and live use. App works great, I haven’t had any issues.

Cool if it worked

Can never connect to the switch

So many new tones!

Great app and pickup selector, I love being able change up my wiring options and save them all from my phone. Now I only need to take one guitar around.
