The Mako Switch is guaranteed for TWO full years. Should the pedal fail within 2 years of your date of purchase, send it back and we will send you a new one free of charge (you pay to send it back)
Miniature form factor – 3.6”L x 1.5”W x 1.25”H - fits in places where other pedals won’t. Nearly 1/3 the size of standard “compact" pedals.
Use the Mako Switch to make any pedal true-bypass and switch it in and out of your signal chain with the push of a single button
True signal path design circuit ensures no unpleasant tonal artifacts – your instrument’s signal is mechanically and electrically point to point at all times with nothing in its way. The LEDs and their DC power never share any connections with your input signal. So with respect to the LED functionality, the circuit is True Bypass via mechanical circuit switching at all times.
Preset an entire chain of effects and their settings and switch the whole chain in an out of your signal path with the push of a single button
Use the Send connection to go to another amplifier or an entirely separate signal chain and switch your instrument’s signal to either of 2 separate chains of effects pedals
Use the send to patch a line out to your tuner and tune silently
LEDs for letting you know at a glance the signal path selected
Use as many Mako Switches as you want in your signal chain – they don’t take much space
When using the LED feature, hook it up to any DC power source between 3V and 12V using a standard center-negative 2.1mm DC power cable (the same ones used by just about every pedal you have). Current draw from the LEDs is so low, it can work from the DC out jack found on tuner pedals and other devices
All components are ROHS-compliant including the case
What happens to the noise in my effects loop when it’s bypassed? It stays in the loop and completely out of the signal path. When the switch is stomped for true bypass mode, the return is physically disconnected from the signal path, while the send is sent to ground.
Can I use the send for silent tuning? Yes – because of the Mako’s design, silent tuning is available on any send. A dedicated tuner send is not required.
