Keep small parts away from children and make sure that the device does not shed any small parts (such as knobs, rubber feet) that children could play with.
NOTICE! Damage to the device if powered incorrectly! his product is designed to be powered from a 9VDC, >5mA power supply with a 2.1mm center-negative barrel connector. Use of an incorrectly rated power supply could result in damage to the pedal and the power supply.- NOTICE! Possible staining due to rubber feet!

Introduction
The RevivalDRIVE Switcher Interface allows a remote switching system, such as the GigRig G2 or Boss ES-8, to remotely toggle the following functions on the RevivalDRIVE pedal:
- Active channel
- Bypass state
- Mid engage
- Blend override functions
The unit works by converting the four latching control switches to the combination of latching and momentary switching used by the RevivalDRIVE.
Connecting the Switcher Interface
- Using standard TRS jack cables, connect INPUT A and INPUT B to your switching system’s latching switch (CTL) outputs.
- Connect OUTPUT on the Switcher Interface to the F/SWITCH input on the RevivalDRIVE, using a 1/4” TRS jack cable.
- Connect a regulated 9V power supply with a 2.1mm center-negative connector power to the 9VDC IN socket.
- Powering additional devices from the 9VDC THRU will increase the overall current draw, be careful not to exceed the rating for your power supply.
NOTICE! Damage to the device if powered incorrectly!
- This product is designed to be powered from a 9VDC, >5mA power supply with a 2.1mm center-negative barrel connector. Use of an incorrectly rated power supply could result in damage to the pedal and the power supply.
NOTE: Remote switching of the bypass state and active channel can only be achieved with the Switcher Interface. The interface converts latching control formats to a short momentary pulse. In the unlikely event of power loss, the user may find that switcher-to-pedal synchronization is lost. To re-sync the setup the user should toggle the affected function directly on the pedal, by pressing the appropriate footswitch.
