Fender ABY Footswitch Reviews

It does what it is supposed to do

I'm a fan of more quiet switches, so this one doesn't get my full five star rating. I also wish it was able to be turned off and on when plugged in.

Reliable and easy to use

This is a simple pedal and it works consistently. The quality is good, it's solid and it has good weight.

I haven't connected it to a power source because I don't really need the led on. I have used it as a splitter to play guitar with a friend and I also use daily with one guitar as a way to stop the signal if I have to disconnect the guitar from the amp or just pause my playing for a while.

I definitely recommend this pedal.

Issues with this one

There's a significant volume drop but I think that's part of the circuit properties. One of the switches arrived broken and I had to solder it.

Fab footswitch

I used this at a festival for the first time, worked a treat, i now use it in my studio, excellent product

Does exactly what it should

Solid housing, convenient switches, useful LEDs .

Does it job

Good pedal, does it job. No hiss or hum or clicks.

Red Flag

I'm surprised to see good reviews for this product.

It simply would not work for me with two Boss Katana 50's - Hum,Buzz,Crack,Boom...

After many tries, it finally arrived at its final destination - i now am the not-so proud owner of a double switched doorstop.

Simple and effective

I use it to switch between my two amps. It works great. Pushing on button, changes from one amp to the other, pushing the other button, both sound at the same time. Very robust no pop sounds, it is great.

Sick of swapping reamp cable?

I got this simple box to save me swapping cable from reamp box to live guitar and back again

Solid construction and it does the job as required - doesn't need any power (unless you want the LED's)

Great Value

Works well, seems very solid

I have this hooked up to 2 amps so I can play in stereo; no noticeable degradation in tone even though the unit is really affordable. Does what you'd expect it to with no clicks or pops when switching between the channels. Handy that it's passive so you don't need power; I have it hooked up to a power supply which is best as the very bright LEDs are helpful.

Good...but

Good but be aware there is a tonal change when using this switch if you use it for two instruments into one amp. However as a switcher between sources it's great!

A switch with a glitch

This is a switch with a glitch

Select A and light up B

Select B and light up A

Oh, my! It's inverted

Works, but isn't great

Does what it says on the tin, but unlike more expensive ABY boxes it doesn't let you flip the phase of your amps and is susceptible to ground hum.

Noisy and not fit for purpose

Use: For switching between an acoustic guitar and a Dobro to one output.

Attenuated the signal and added a lot of noise. Very disappointing.

ABY

Great pedal but input jacks are little bit too tight... maybe it change after many uses!

Does what it says on the tin.

I use this pedal for my stereo rig and sometimes for amp switching.

The pedal is housed in a grippy textured folded steel case. The switches are robust. I have stomped on this thing many a time and it still works.

Switching between A and B or AB are easy to distinguish on a dark stage with the pedal having bright LED lights.

Simple, reasonably priced, works as intended, and is a gig stomping survivor of a pedal. What more do you need from an ABY pedal.

Good for switching not combining.

I bought the pedal with the intention of using it kind of as a mixer in my pedal chain so I could run a keyboard and guitar through the effects at the same time. That doesn't work, one or the other seems to cut out. A lot of people might have seen that coming but I didn't think of that.

Otherwise it is a good pedal though. I've not made much use of it but in terms of switching between signals, it's a good solution.

The build quality is what I'd expect for the price and the design is simple but it does the job.

Quality casing

Works perfectly for the purpose, I used 2 guitar amps on the last gig and the best feature is it don't even need a battery or power to work. Great pedal Fender
