A minor miracle

This small pedal may change how you approach your sound on either bass or on guitar. Given that there are two outputs and an either / or / altogether option, rigging this up could not be more fun. It's simple, easy to use and built like a tank,

It perfectly does what it is supposed to.

Works fine, but...

It works fine and as advertised, however the two outputs aren't fully isolated; they tend to bleed audio into each other.

Reliable and Functional

This is exactly what a utility pedal should be like. It is reliable and functional. I use it to switch between effects. Line A goes into my multi effects board, and Line B goes through my stomp boxes. Both of which finally go into the same amp. This lets me set a loop on one of the lines, and play over it on the other.

There are few disadvantages to having such a pedal, except

perhaps the space required.

The advantages are those, outlined above.

The Value for money is very good, and I would not be without one now.

Great price-performance item

Use

I use this as a three way switch system to 2 guitar amps (A and the tuner outputs) and one bass amp (B output).

Pros:

The extra tuner output works well if you want to connect a third amp.

Relatively small size.

Good price compared to other products.

Good signal from all of the outputs.

Cons:

If a channel is switched off, there is still a weak, almost unnoticable signal that is going through (not sure if it is common for theres ones, but I have noticed the same behavior on a Fender ABY switch too).

Conclusion:

I would recommend this as a cheap alternative if there is a need for one guitar in - three amps out setup. The tuner output can be managed with the tuner pedal since it can not be turned off.

1 word: AWESOME!!!

I play in a duo/alternative rock band. Bought this so split my guitar to two amps my normal guitar amp with out A then to a Bass amp with out B. It works like a charm! I can choose to have both amps running at the same time or one at a time. Very cool solid pedal. I love Electro Harmonix gear. Came with a cool sticker too.

Quality switch

I use this for live gigs when using two amps, makes life a lot easier. The LED's make it very clear to what amps are active. Very good product.

Great pedal

I am using this to send my guitar signal to two different amps . I was looking for something that lets me be do (A or B), (A+B or A), (A+B or B) and Switchblade was just perfect! Very solid construction, with different led colours A and B signals. Nice option the extra output to connect to a tuner!
