Great Eastern FX has launched a pedal that’s designed to get more out of your existing guitar effects pedal collection, and when when we say “get more” out of those stompboxes we really mean revolutionise how you apply them to your electric guitar’s signal – because the XO Variable Crossover, released today, presents players with some truly out there routing options.
It is described as a frequency splitter and dual effects loop in a pedal format but is perhaps more easily demonstrated than it is described. After all, we have the vocabulary to talk about overdrive pedals, or reverb pedals. The former can be transparent, hard-clipping, fuzz-like, whatever. The latter can be ethereal, lush, spatial, and so on.
