The Chill Switch is an analog, mono utility pedal built around a footswitch with a momentary action. In line selector mode it routes the instrument between the dry path and an external effects loop, so a delay, distortion or ring modulator can be brought in for a short burst and dropped out again. Tapping it in time with the playing lets effects enter and leave the signal path rhythmically, which suits a delay with tap tempo.
In Kill mode the pedal works as a mute switch for when no effects loop is connected. Switching the signal on and off abruptly produces stutter and hard rhythmic cuts. A switchable control sets the on/off state of the footswitch, and switching is silent. The bypass is buffered.
The pedal has a quarter-inch input and output, plus FX loop send and return jacks, and Engage and Send controls. It runs on a 9V battery that is included, or on an optional 9.6VDC-200mA adapter that is sold separately. Production ended in 2021.
