Fender ABY Footswitch 5-stars Reviews

Fender a/b box

Very robust pedal compact size to fit most pedalboard.

But this

I was looking for an ABY pedal for a little while. I play in a band and wanted to be able to switch between 2 instruments without unplugging any cables and creating any unpleasant noises from unplugging live instruments. After looking at many (more expensive) pedals I settled on this one. The reasons are: you can use it to switch between 2 instruments to 1 output or you can use it to route 1 instrument to 2 outputs (very handy), the lights and layout make it very easy to see which channel is selected (not all of them are like this), it is made of metals and is very very sturdy and you can give it a good old 'stomp' when using it and the battery only powers the lights so if this runs out it can still be used.

My only negative point was that it is red,.. But I rally this have been quite handy as it's easy to see it quickly and stomp it when mixed in with all the other pedals.

Great price al

Excellent!

What a great, no nonsense piece of kit. I'm delighted. It does exactly what it's supposed to do and requires no annoying power unit. I installed a battery to run the LEDs but the footswitch works perfectly well without, so even when the battery runs out, it still works, just without the indicators. I'm using it to switch my condenser instrument mic between channels on the desk, giving me a perfect volume boost for solos. As a saxophonist I was sick of blowing solos at backing volume, when the guitarist and keyboards could play their solos at boosted volume. The Fender footswitch passes phantom power to my clip-on mic and my solos are now out front where they belong. A simple, elegant solution, to a, age-old problem. Perfect.

Fender ABY Switch

the Fender ABY switch comes packed in a clear vacuum formed plastic container rather than a box and I suppose this helps to keep the cost down. the pedal itself is a sturdy metal box with 2 very smooth and strong foot switches which makes the unit feel strong and well made so hopefully it should stand up to the beating it will no doubt receive at gigs. so far it has functioned very well. I am using it to switch between my fx loop and front of amp so that I can get the most out of my small pedal board.

overall I would give the switch 10 out of 10 for the price it didn't come with instructions but why would you need them? it's very easy to use!

Recommended

This is a very handy switching unit. It's versatile, reliable, built like a tank and very good value.

I love that it operates with either a PP3 battery or a 9V transformer or with neither.

Isn't it great when something just works!

Simple

Simple but effective. Does exactly what it needs to do. I use it to switch two guitars into one set up, and it is perfect, would highly recommend this product. Well worth the price!
