Lead Foot ABY 4-stars Reviews

Lead Foot ABY

Straight up no frills ABY switcher, well priced compared to most others on the market - there's only so much I'm willing to pay for what is essentially two switches in a box + LEDs. Solid construction.

A very useful ABY switcher...

The Lead Foot ABY is very well built. The signal signal passes through with no glitches. It can be useful as a signal splitter ,combiner and for muting. The battery connection is just for powering the led indicator lights. The price point is very good.

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.

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.

Lead foor ABY

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.
