6 Audio Loops + Insert
The order of the loops can be changed from preset to preset. The last three loops and the insert loop are stereo capable.
7 User Configurable Buttons
Each button can be configured for different functions using the Mastermind Editor app.
Connectivity Features
Rear panel allows connections to MIDI devices, expression pedals, external switches and computers. The Function Switch output allows the PBC/6X to control most devices with footswitch jacks.
Compact, powerful and flexible. A pedalboard switcher suited for pedalboards both large and small.
DESIGNED FOR PLAYERS WHO WANT THE POWER OF A PROFESSIONAL TOURING RIG WITHOUT THE SIZE AND COMPLEXITY.
The Mastermind PBC/6X gives you total control over your pedals, amps, and MIDI devices — all from a compact footprint that fits almost any board.
FEATURING
6 Audio Loops
Connect and control your favorite pedals with programmable switching and routing flexibility.
Matrix Switching
Instantly reorder pedals in your signal chain without physically rewiring your board.
Stereo Capability
Three loops support stereo routing for modern wet/dry and ambient setups.
MIDI Control
Control MIDI-capable pedals, processors, switchers, and rack gear directly from the PBC/6X.
Amp Channel Switching
Switch channels and functions on compatible amplifiers using built-in function switches.
Integrated Tuner
Fast, reliable tuning without needing extra pedalboard space.
Most switchers lock your pedals into a fixed signal chain.
The PBC/6X changes that completely.
Its matrix switching architecture allows you to reorder compatible loops digitally — meaning your overdrive can move before or after modulation, delays can shift positions, and entire routing strategies can change per preset.
No rewiring.
No compromises.
No tap dancing.
100% analog signal path.

Mastermind PBC/6X Features
- 6 audio loops
- The last three loops are stereo capable using TRS jacks

- Mono mixdown feature allows you to mix down your stereo output to mono when using with a single amp
- Two inputs, one with a switchable buffer
- 7 buttons, each with a multi-color LED indicator
- Buttons are user configurable – any button can be set to any function and LED color
- Easy to read backlit LCD display that can display preset and song names, plus other status
