What's the difference?

The buttons

What catches the eye when looking at all Lehle-Switchers are the large mushroom buttons. The musician presses this button with his foot – this activates a momentary switch located inside the switcher via a metal lever. Since button and momentary switch aren’t mechanically connected, only the button takes the strength of the foot’s pressure. There’s no pressure on the circuit board. With maximal construction robustness, the manipulation of the button is very low-friction with its setting in a special socket.

Switching with the highest level of signal loyalty

The signal sent from the jack of a guitar or bass is so weak that bad leads, cold soldered connection points or cheap contact materials audibly impair the sound. In order to switch these weak signals without any loss of sound or sound corruption it requires special materials, of which the contacts of these switchers are made.
With all Lehle-Switchers, the signal is routed via special gold-plated relays.
This guarantees absolute clear and reliable switching of sensitive signals.

Lehle-switchers switch in a passive mode

Basically, Lehle-Switchers route the signal passively without semiconductors in the signal path. The sound of a guitar or bass is mainly created by an interaction of the weak signal of the instrument and a very sensitive amp input.
If the signal was enhanced by an active buffer amp, the playing experience and sound would be changed considerably. However, at the same time, the signal becomes less sensitive. This means that, behind a buffer amp, cheapest components could be used, which would really influence the sound in a passive mode. Buffer amp and other active components can thus be useful, but if they can’t be switched off there is no place for them in the signal path of a switcher for purists!

What’s the meaning of “True Bypass”?

The musician doesn’t want to alter the unique sound developed by the interaction of instrument and amp for as long as effects remain unused.
Therefore, nearly all “better” effect units are equipped with a “True Bypass” footswitch.
However, normal footswitches contain contact materials originally developed for the routing of large currents (e.g. manufacturing machinery), as this is their main operational area. This becomes audible when after a certain time of use the resonating tone of a guitar suddenly cuts off. Compared to the direct path of lead to instrument to amp, the sound of an instrument routed via a chain of switched off “True Bypass” effects is quite dead.
Lehle-Switchers are, because of the use of gold-plated relays, specially developed for the switching from very weak signals, real “True Bypass” switchers.

Made in Germany

All Lehle products use only branded components. Cover, bottom and circuit board are firmly bolted with each other using rustproof threaded inserts. The double-sided printed circuit board, made of fibreglass reinforced epoxy resin has plated-through holes. This guarantees greatest mechanical durability and the best possible electrical connection of all components.
All individual components like the housing, circuit board or the buttons -including spring and socket – are manufactured, assembled and tested in Germany.

The Gigrig

Are you serious about your guitar tone? Do you refuse to compromise on the quality of your guitar sound? Would you like to enjoy all the great tone of your effects without any of the drawbacks such as the 'Tap Dancing' between effects changes and tone sucking from long pedal chains?

Model Pro-14

TheGigRig Pro-14 is the ultimate floor based switching system designed to give you a level of control over your effects and amps that you've only ever dreamed about.

" The Pro-14's 10 True Bypass effects loops guarantee the best tone possible from your effects.
" The 14 programmable pre-sets mean 1 step selection over any effects pedal combination you like.
" An inbuilt optically controlled programmable class A amplifier takes care of volume mismatches from vintage style pedals and gives you easy solo boosts.
" Choose any combination of 2 amplifier outputs without earth loops or phase problems.
" Easy intuitive programming designed for tone lovers who use pedals, not computers.
" Programmable pre-boost/buffer gives you the option of having a completely true bypass system, or pre-effects loops buffered system as part of each pre-set. Perfect for all effects, even germanium transistor overdrives.

At TheGigRig we compromise on nothing to bring you some of the best gear on the planet, but don't take our word for it. Read the reviews and watch the demo. See what TheGigRig users have to say, and then show us what you can do. The Possibilities are endless!

RJM

Amp Gizmo

Control your amp's channel switching from your MIDI controller!

Benefits include:

Easy programmability using the front panel buttons and LEDs. So easy, in fact, that one of our customers said that it took longer to run the cable than it did to program the Amp Gizmo.

The Amp Gizmo can control virtually every amp on the market. It was designed for maximum compatiblity - there's no switcher on the market that works with more amps than the Amp Gizmo. How did we do this?

Both 1/4" and DIN switching jacks are provided to make it easy to connect to any amp. Many amps require only standard 1/4" cables, and we can build custom adapter cables for virtually any amp that requires a special connector.
Eight switches provide enough capacity to switch the features of the most complicated amps.
High quality relays are used to provide the most compatible switching.
Both latching and momentary switching are supported, further increasing compatibility.
The Amp Gizmo can store 120 programs - probably more than you'll ever need.

The Amp Gizmo will not cause hum due to ground loops. All switching jacks are electrically isolated from each other.

You can safely control up to five devices with a single Amp Gizmo. (For specifics, see the Amp Gizmo manual)

Run only a single cable to your MIDI footswitch! The Amp Gizmo can provide phantom power to most MIDI footswitches, eliminating the need to have a separate power supply.

Solid and durable with a powder coated steel case.
