Lead Foot ABY Reviews

I like that the battery is optional, and only needed for the leds.

However one of the inputs broke after one months usage, I havent thougt of replacing it since i only need one anyway, but it doesnt speak well of the quality of components used.

I still give it a four though because, for the money, it is a good product.

Does what it says on the tin

Bizarelly been meaning to buy an AB Box for 20 years and only just got round to it. This does exactly what you expect, the only reason it doesnt get 5 stars is that the battery cover doesnt fit 100% tightly but cant imagine I will need to replace it very often.

Sturdy and cheap

It does what it says perfectly. It is small and sturdy. It looks it's going to last a long long time. Now I can easily switch between amps without affecting the sound.

An ok ABY-box

Does what it's supposed to and a nice deal for the price. The footswitches are a bit too close to each other so that might cause problems with accidental swithing.

The build quality seems very sturdy. There is no jack for dc input so if you want for the leds to light up you need a battery.

Does exactly what it says on the tin , great little pedal , has all the combinations of guitar to amp etc that you need , clean and noise free too , this pedal and a tuner are my two must haves , highly recommended

Small and great value

Bought this to sit at the end of my pedal board to switch between amps. it gives you the choice of switching between the two or playing through both at the same time. The switching is quiet and there is no residual hum from the pedal.

My only gripe is that it is battery power only and cannot be connected to my power bank, meaning I have to remember to unplug the input jack when not in use as it stays powered on with it in.

This said, it's a fraction of the price of other pedals with the same functions and has a really small footprint. Offers more switching options than the EHX aby pedal for less money.

Some grounding issues at times

It works well under the right conditions. I had it on tour for a month and it worked just fine. I've since had some issues with grounding, so I'll probably get a Lehle in the near future. Don't be put down because of this. The battery compartment is a bit flimsy, and overall quality isn't spectacular, but at this price, you can't beat it.

a bit dissappointed

I got this as I wanted to feed two electric guitars into my pedaboard and this is apparently the man for the job however, I've not been able to get it to work successfully without both guitars staying on or sometimes it fades out. I've not tried it yet with a battery although a battery is only required to light an l.e.d. It might sound stupid but it comes with little in the way of instruction, merely an electrical diagram screened on the front of it. so if you don't read diagrams (like me) then you'll be a while plugging in and swapping round etc..

I bought this mainly for recording, so that I could split a guitar signal to two amps at once and record both. and it is quite good at this, with no audible loss of tone.

The other useful thing this does is it allows you to send two sources to the guitar amps as well as switch between two sources - e.g. switching guitars between songs and leaving both plugged in.

The unit itself is very chunky and seems very sturdy, although the battery cover is a little difficult to get back into place after fitting the battery.

The one major negative I have found is that there is quite a lot of audio bleed between channels, so if you are planning on using this at gigs to switch between two amps, you will hear a little of the sound coming from the amp you have switched off.

This is very simple to understand and use.

you can send two guitars into one amp or one guitar into two amps.

I have done this both ways successfully. There are plenty of switching pedals on the market and some have more features/options but not there aren't many in this price range that feel robust.

The option to use this without a battery is helpful but when you're at a gig and switching in the middle of songs, the LED indicator is essential!

This has been gigged and remains on my pedal board, it's small footprint means it doesn't take much space on the pedal board and if it ever breaks I'll get another one.
