The Hotone Patch Kommander is a lightweight and easy-to-use effects looper that gives you complete control over your pedal board. The Looper in a solid aluminum housing offers four audio loops with relay-based true bypass for looping in one or more effect devices and a switchable buffer when using larger effect chains. An output for switching the channel change on the amplifier is also located on the front of the Patch Kommander. The patch Kommander is operated in two different modes: In Direct Mode, the Patch Kommander acts as a standard Instant Access Looper, while Preset Mode provides access to 12 different programmable presets.
