    INTRODUCTION Smart Patch is the brain of your pedalboard. Think of it as a central hub for all the audio connections in and from your board. It’s smart (as the name suggest) because it allow to connect the board to your amp or amps configuration without touching a single cable on your board.

  • Page 5 (left side – pedalboard side) • PEDAL INPUT: this is where your input fx chain starts, this output must be connected to the input of your first pedal. • OUTPUT: output from your last pedal will be connected here (your last pre-amp pedal).
  • Page 6: Passive Mode

    PASSIVE MODE Reducing to the very basic concept of our Smart Patch, you can see it as an “interface” and as any interface it can be used only as a patch point for your board to the external world, so a passive interface. What does this mean? With Smart Patch we wanted to do way more than a simple passive interface but doing that, we needed a power source.

    AUDIO FEATURES • DUAL BUFFER: Smart patch offer two completely bypassable hi-grade audio buffers, to prevent any tone loss due to high length cables or low quality ones. One buffer is placed right after the INPUT of the system, the second one is placed on the RETURN R, and it can be used as an output buffer if needed (please, take a look at connection examples in the next page).
  • Page 8: Connection Examples

    CONNECTION EXAMPLES Please note that all the examples below are intended with a 9v power source. No TRS/MIDI thru are shown, since it’s really straightforward. Example 1 – Simple “in-line” board connection. Signal comes from your guitar, to your board, and back to the input of your amplifier. TIP: You can turn on/off the input buffer according to your taste, but we suggest to do it (pedal input) (guitar input)
  • Page 9 Example 2 – Simple two chains mono setup. Signal comes from your guitar, to your board, and back to the input of your amplifier. TIP: You can turn on/off the input buffer according to your taste, but we suggest to do it Signal comes from send of your fx loop again into the interface (SEND), second chain of pedals and the from RETRURN L of Smart Patch back to fx loop return.
  • Page 10 Example 3 – Simple two chains stereo setup. Signal comes from your guitar, to your board, and back to the input of your amplifier. TIP: You can turn on/off the input buffer according to your taste, but we suggest to do it Signal coming from send of your fx loop into again the interface (SEND), second chain of pedals and the from RETURN L of Smart Patch back to fx loop return.
  • Page 11 Example 4 – Two chains setup with an amp (no loop fx). Signal comes from your guitar, to your board, and back to the input of your amplifier thru RETURN L jack. This allow Smart Patch to rewire the two chains of pedals into a single one (first one into the second one) and to connect the entire four cable system with only to cables.
  • Page 12 Example 5 – Two chains setup with two amplifiers (no loop fx). Signal comes from your guitar, to your board, and back to the input of your first amplifier thru RETURN L jack. Second amplifier will be connected to RETURN R. TIP: You can turn on/off the input buffer according to your taste, but we suggest to do it.
  • Page 13 Example 6 – One chains setup with two amplifiers Signal comes from your guitar, to your board, and back to the input of your first amplifier thru RETURN L jack. Second amplifier will be connected to RETURN R. TIP: You can turn on/off the input buffer according to your taste, but we suggest to do it. TIP: You can use also RETUNR R instead of RETURN L and turn on/off the RETURN R buffer according to your taste, and also phase reverse this output.
