EPI (Effects Pedal Interface)

The Analog Alien EPI (Effects Pedal Interface) is a high-end routing pedal designed to enable the use of guitar effects pedals with line-level devices such as drum machines, mixing consoles, 500 series processors, and recording interfaces. Its key features and technical specifications include:

- Dual effects send/return loops with separate foot-switches
- Automatically adjusts impedance and voltage levels for the highest possible fidelity
- Outputs include balanced XLR, buffered 1/4", and RCA -10dBu
- Balanced 1/4" input can accept instrument-level signal as well as line- level signals
- Guitar thru-output for connecting to an amplifier or guitar tuner
- Can be used to switch between two different pedal-boards or blend them
- Can also be used as an A-B-Y box, a direct box, a re-amping device, or as a four-way splitter

The EPI offers versatile functionality, allowing users to use it as a DI (Direct Box), re-amp tracks from a DAW, record with effects pedals, bypass an entire pedal-board, play through up to four amps simultaneously, and switch between two different pedal-boards. It also features unique input circuitry and can be used in live stage situations for various applications.

The EPI's design and functionality cater to musicians and recording professionals seeking to expand the creative possibilities of effects pedals in both studio and live settings.
