Introducing the Xotic Effects X-Blender Switchable Series/Parallel Loop Pedal, a unique addition to your pedalboard. This innovative pedal is designed to function like the Aux Send/Return on a mixing console, offering on-the-go wet/dry mixing. By feeding your effects with your guitar's direct signal, the X-Blender preserves the authenticity of your tone, letting you experience your guitar's sound as it was meant to be heard.

Unlike a string of effects pedals that often produce undesirable artifacts, this pedal ensures a clean, clear signal, effectively protecting you from narrowing dynamic range and multiple filtering. The X-Blender operates in both Series and Parallel modes, offering versatility to your sound control.

In Series mode, you're treated to a simple, true bypass effects loop with no buffering, keeping your signal pure. On the other hand, Parallel mode brings in a buffer, letting you mix the dry and affected signals to your liking using the Dry/Wet knob.

Additional features like a 2-band EQ, Volume control, a +6dB Boost switch, and a Phase Invert switch add depth to your customization, helping you craft the perfect tone.
