JFYI, that email address is the same address as auto-response notifications I get in my email box for new forum messages or responses, which means, the same notification I just received also contains a link to this forum page, so forwarding the same information I received would be the same thing as contacting your service address. Correct me if I’m wrong, but that doesn’t seem to make much sense..

I’m aware a speaker needs to be connected. That was partially the point of my initial post. I’m not suggesting it’s a good idea to use a line level DI with the Swtichblade+ either, but it does in fact work. The volume is just lowered considerably.

That said, I did try out using the Switchblade+ with two 8ohm speaker cabinets and it works just fine. It will use either one or both simultaneously, no problem. Again though, there’s a very small volume drop, but it isn’t as bad as using a DI or load box.

As a side note, the EHX Switchblade+ online manual on this website also states that what I’m doing is possible, here’s a direct quote..

(the second Y example shown below is what I’m doing)

“The Switchblade is not limited the above two applications. Here are two
more application examples:

Y: Instrument –> Effects chain A, effects chain B

Y: Amplifier head –> Speaker cabinet A, speaker cabinet B (be sure to use
speaker cable and not instrument cable for this application). [/em]

This was taken from the original [strong]Switchblade Channel Selector[/strong] document, but oddly enough, the “+” version is touted as being a “Deluxe” version, yet the document for it does not state it has the same capability as the original.

Isn’t all of this just a little bit weird?

Please be concise and try to explain these things without being evasive. I’m not going to email your tech people because that makes no sense.
