Artec SE-SWB A/B Box

Cheap and helpful, but noise when changing channell

This has been very helpful (I use it with a mandolin and tenor banjo); there is a noise (Pop) heard each time I switch though; I'm not sure where the issue lies.

Very good pedal

Advantages:

Functionality: it works as intended. Switching between A or B input is flawless.

Build quality: rather solid, but I'm not gonna take it outside my studio, so I can't tell how good it will be on the stage and tour.

It doesn't need a battery! This is really cool. Without a battery, light is not working (obviously), but it's only for 2 inputs/outputs, so it's easy to remember what is plugged where.

Disadvantages:

The battery cover is very loose. It feels like it may fall off at any moment.

It may sit upside down, depending on how it's used. In my case, it's the first pedal merging two inputs to the rest of the pedal chain. So it's upside down. Obviously, nothing can be done in that matter, as it's just how it is in the case of this type of pedal signal splitter.

Useful pedal

It could have more options but is a good one.

Hey, it's a switchbox

Easy to understand. You know how it works just by looking at it. Sturdy metal housing.

Useful Pedal for any Performer

I bought this because I like to jam and perform with more than one guitar through one amp; particularly since I like to play in a couple of different tunings. And that is exactly what I got for a very decent price.

It's very easy to use and very hand. One click and I'm playing my second guitar; no problem.

The pedal seems fairly sturdy and having used other Artec pedals before, I expect it ought to last fairly long. Either way, with a pedal like this one I don't expect to be tapping it on and off nearly as often; so should last a long time.

Would certainly recommend this to anyone looking to use two guitars/instruments through one amp, whether you're just jamming or performing live.

The switchbox is ok. The price is good and it does work. The pedal doesn't feel very solid but I've not had any problems with it breaking. All in all its good value but not the most sturdy pedal in the world.
