Is a very good piece of gear
Anonymous 07.05.2016
I use it to switch between the two channels of my Fender 68 Custom Deluxe Reverb amp.

I tested it to see if there is bleeding between channels and there was none. For example i turned channel A on in the switchblade but on the amp I put channel's A volume at 0 and channel's B volume at 8-9 and there was no sound coming from the amp.

Pros
price, works as expected, i liked the switching options (A or B or A&B), size, led displays.

Cons
None so far.

Great price-performance item

Use
I use this as a three way switch system to 2 guitar amps (A and the tuner outputs) and one bass amp (B output).

Pros:
The extra tuner output works well if you want to connect a third amp.
Relatively small size.
Good price compared to other products.
Good signal from all of the outputs.

Cons:
If a channel is switched off, there is still a weak, almost unnoticable signal that is going through (not sure if it is common for theres ones, but I have noticed the same behavior on a Fender ABY switch too).

Conclusion:
I would recommend this as a cheap alternative if there is a need for one guitar in - three amps out setup. The tuner output can be managed with the tuner pedal since it can not be turned off.

Works fine, but...

It works fine and as advertised, however the two outputs aren't fully isolated; they tend to bleed audio into each other.

Efficient product

It clearly does what it's supposed to do at a good price point.
Simple packaging.

No transformer sadly, and the unit requires a power source to light the indicator leds.

Great switch pedal!
Anonymous 10.11.2014
Very sturdy well built unit. I purchased the switchblade as i wanted to use 2 amps when gigging and it does the job perfectly to switch between the two. It is also a small compact unit so hasn't taken up much room in my pedal board. Overall it is a great product and great value for money. In terms of features I wouldn't expect a switch pedal to have anything else (the tuner output is handy if you want to keep a tuner out of you loop but I don't really find it necessary)

Does what it says on the tin
Anonymous 10.11.2014
These pedals are real life savers if you have some pedals that are not true bypass. The ability to switch between separate effects chains is so useful and space saving on a limited budget. These can be used in both direction (1 in to 2 outs or 2 ins to 1 out) and are completely passive. However, a battery or 9V DC supply can be used to light the LEDs which make using the pedal much easier.

Just what it promises

The Switchblade Plus is a passive A/B/AB -switcher. You can plug in 9 V DC to get the LEDs working. I use it to switch between two amplifiers, and it works just as expected. It is a bit pricey for what it is though.
