Analog Man's remote switching boxes are relay-based switchers made to be triggered from somewhere other than the box itself. Instead of a footswitch for each position, each switch is a jack: plug in a simple remote ON/OFF switch, a MIDI controller or a larger switching system, and the relay inside changes state. The control only needs to change from OPEN to CLOSED to turn the relay on1.
That design makes them a way to put switching under the control of a MIDI pedal or a loop switcher without the box's own switches getting in the way, which is useful on a larger board where one controller handles everything.
Versions and availability
Two versions have appeared on Analog Man's switch box page over the years, and both are no longer available:
