Great ABY Switcher

It seems like it will work and last forever

Almost perfect

Cheap, in some places it even FEELS cheap, but does the work perfectly. With this I can plug in two guitars the same time to two amps (actually, an amp and my Rocksmith cable :D).

I have only one complaint: there is no power connector. It is not a big deal, as this thing is totally passive and works without power, but if you want the LED indicator to light up, you have to connect a 9V battery.

Very nice

The build and switches are great on this thing, and it's served me well for the past 6 months or so. The only thing I might change to it is drill out a little bit of the battery cover to allow a better run of my power block to it. Overall a good buy.

Perfect

I Bought this to split two guitars into one amp. Does the job very well. It's well made and sturdy. The foot switches may be a bit too close together if you wear big boots on stage. But, for me it's perfect.

Lead Foot ABY + two amps

Great pedal

I love this little box.

Since it doesnt require a battery to work i can take it everywhere with me.

I love to use this pedal on my portable amplifier. I hook the pedal up to it and i can jam along with my friends anywhere i want.

Using the pedal can feel a littler bit clingy at first, but once you get used to it its a walk in the park. If you dont have a battery in it, the light doesnt work so you have to press buttons untill it works ;).

10/10 would buy again

Small, Solid & Fit For Purpose

Metal enclosure, so built to last, and fits neatly on a board as it has a small footprint, great price. I use it to switch between boards/guitars and also use it to combine two effects units for my acoustic which I can now use in tandem. Great also for dual amp use & signal splitting generally.

No noise, works fine, no conplaints

Great for the price

I am not a professional musician, so I only use this in my music room to switch between amps. I have had no issues with this at all and the price is excellent. The only small con was that it was shipped in a box with no bubble wrap or protective foam. The switch worked and was not damaged when it arrived, but I could see this being problematic if the package had been knocked around more by the shipping company. Some extra protective packaging would be a good idea.

As it is I'd probably still buy one again at this price point. It functions well and is by far the cheapest option I've ever seen for one of these switches.

Simple but effective

Cheap and useful and works without problems :-)

Batteries

Works great as an ABY-switch, but it doesn't have a 9v input, so you need batteries. Also, it doesn't have an on/off switch, so that battery drains as long as something is plugged in to the input... So if you remember to unplug your cables, this unit works great.

Good product generally

Batter sloshes around inside, could do with some foam or clips

Direct the output to amp or audio device

Simple, cheap, but sturdy solution. It works only with battery - the battery cover a little bit clumsy, anyway battery needs for only for the leds. I am not using it.

I am using it to direct the guitar signal to am or the audio device.

Great piece of switcher

I wanted to buy a cheap ABY switcher and I wanted to check this one out because the price is just so low. I works great, I actually cannot find any reason to buy a more expensive one except the only downside and also the only reason why I am not using it more frequently is just that the pedal is bit too big to squeeze on my pedalboard. My bad for not looking on the dimensions of it. Otherwise, a good buy.

Barely used

No complaints but I've hardly used it. A bit bulky & heavy for something that does a simple job.

Not perfect but usable

Can get a bit noisy with high gain sounds and the pedal is a bit cramped making access to the switches a bit difficult, but overall the pedal does exactly what it promises and at a very reasonable price!
