IdiotBox Effects End of Line
Idiotbox Effects · pedal
The IdiotBox Effects End of Line is a passive kill-switch and volume-cut utility pedal, not an effect in the traditional tonal sense, designed to sit at the end of a signal chain for instant muting or dramatic volume drops rather than to shape tone. It offers both momentary and latching switching for muting the signal on demand, plus a reverse-boost style dial that reduces volume by a controlled amount rather than cutting it entirely, useful for quick dynamic drops during a performance. Being fully passive aside from an LED indicator, it has no tonal coloration of its own. It suits players wanting a simple, reliable way to instantly mute or duck their signal live rather than a tone-shaping pedal.
