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.

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.

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.

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.

A useful spltter that Does its job

I got this switch to split the guitar signal between two amps. Another reason is to have a switcher for my amp or for my guitar tuner where in both cases It does it's job. The case and switches seem robust. My opinion is there is no difference between Lead ABY and other expensive brands. The size is just right for me.

As a cons I could say the lack of jack input for power supply, only butteries are available, however it works without the battery, which is only necessary for the led lights. It only takes a single AA battery which lasts a long time as long as you remember to unplug your cables.

Also, it can be used 2-ways (2in 1out or 1in 2out). Great value.

No difference between Lead ABY and other expensive brands

This is the very good ABY switcher. my opinion is there is no difference between Lead ABY and other expensive brands. The size of the Lead Foot ABY is just right for me. I can keep 2 guitars plugged in with the ability to quickly & noiselessly switch them out within seconds. At the end of the night, I just unplug it and it tucks away perfectly into my pedal board. Finally, it only takes a single AA battery which lasts a long time as long as you remember to unplug your cables. If you're in need of an excellent AB box, this is the one to get, especially for the price.

Great tool

If you want 2 separate instruments into one amp A - B this thing works great. Battery is not necessary.

Super solid

Works great. Used to switch between bass and guitar amps during live.

good, cheap switcher

At the moment of purchase this was the cheapest A/B switcher available, but after a year of heavy usage it hasn't let me down. The only this I would add is an option to power it with an external power supply. I don't like using batteries.

A really useful spltter

I use it two feed one or two guitars into two Bugera V22 combos. It works brilliantly and for the money it's a bargain. I've written this because I read the other reviews and several make no sense at all. There's no volume drop and no weird noises. www.martinriderguitarist.co.uk

Excellent product

This is a great product if you know how to use it and your gear. (there are many poor reviews due to uninformed use)

Box is sturdy, switches click, click feels great, no power jack.

Power input is easily solved with a drill and a soldering iron (I even kept the battery option).

Buttons inside are 2P2T, do not expect it to be able to mod it for stereo or full galvanic disconnection (to disconnect ground) and keep the internals.

Great switch

I purchased this foot switch back in 2016. Since then, I’ve never have any issues and still working as new
