Strymon are at the forefront of the effects pedal market, and the Conduit underlines a trailblazing approach to make your pedalboard work harder so you don't have to. Designed for MIDI-capable pedals (so definitely not the new UAFX trio of effects) it allows presets to be built for songs using all your pedals and changes to be sent to the pedals on your 'board.
Conduit can also be used as a USB MIDI interface and if the four TRS jacks aren't enough for your pedal needs, you can also link Conduits together.
You can automate pedal preset changes in a song's sequence too via computer. Just send MIDI control change messages from a sequencer for perfectly synced pedal parameter changes.
The Strymon Conduit is $149. For more info visit Strymon
