Micro ABY Box MKII : Does what it should do

Use:

I use it to split the output signal into the Top Boost and Normal input of my VOX AC30. This way I can switch from a cleanish sound to a more dirtier tone. Before I had this pedal I used to walk to my amp and plug my cable in and out into the different inputs, which is not something you want to do live.

Pros:

- It's really small, smaller than other splitter's I've seen. This makes it easy to fit on any pedalboard.

- It's easy to use. I didn't need a manual or something. It's self explanatory.

- No signal or volume loss compared to directly going into the Top Boost or Normal input. It doesn't boost or change the bandwidth so you don't need to re-tweek your knobs to have the same sound you would have without using this pedal. This was something I worried about, because of the low pricing, but the output quality stays good.

- The lights are really handy for when you are on stage. I use Blue for Normal and Red for Top Boost. When you walk around the different lights pretty wel from a distance

- I like the fact that it's a simple pedal with no unnecessary extra's.

- The footswitch feels good

Cons:

- It's all mono. For using mono instruments, it's not a problem, but when you would like to switch between stereo instruments, than you need something else.

- The lights are really bright, which can be intense when you use it at home. Then again, it's really clear for when you are playing on stage.

Conclusion:

It's a cheap pedal that doesn't sound cheap and does what it should do. You could also use it for switching between 2 guitars (or other instruments) without having to keep plugging in and out. I'll Probably buy an extra one in the near future!
