I recently bought a Nano switchblade so I could use it to switch between my tuner and audio chain.  The problem I am getting is that it is not fully switching the "off" channel off when I switch between the A & B.  Does anyone know if this is a design flaw?  I have looked at a couple other units and found they do the same thing.

I have also thought about rewiring the box, but most of the other "passive" layouts I have seen either incorporate LED's or batteries.

Any suggestions?  Thanks in advance.

Can be a desing flaw, I don't know if the Switchblade it's passive, if it is I can't imagine why isn't fully switching off the channel...

If you wan't to rewire it and make a passive AB box without LED (I recomend that you use it...) simply don't populate the LED section from any passive desing around. I also recomend if you rewire it, ground the output that is not selected.

I hope it helps!

What would the benefit to using it be other than to tell which channel is "on"?  Does it help in the switching some way?  I ask because I am not much of a tinkerer any longer due to having weekly gigs sometimes multiple gigs during the week.  I need to do something with this pedal that is quick and reliable as it will be hitting the stage by next Friday.
