Lead Foot ABY AB/Y Switch

A very good item. I have other A/B switches, but they rely on 9v battery to work. This unit works without, but you can use one for the indicator light. I also find that this unit loses no tone, whereas others do. Highly recommended!

amazing

very simple , very informative with the lights and the schematic on the box , sturdy

it actually is very versatile piece of equipment unlike others in the same category who have 1 functionalities.

i used it mainly to have 2 different input going to 1x amp but it also let you split your signal chains from 1 guitar to 2 different amps.

anyway , i love it . so far no cons , price wise also its amazing.

I got this ab/y switch to split the guitar signal between two amps. It does it's job. The case and switches seem robust. I haven't noticed any significant noise from the pedal. It works without the battery, which is only necessary for the led lights. Also, it can be used 2-ways (2in 1out or 1in 2out). Great value.

Good built, good price!

Works as it should. Quality built. For stage work maybe a bit small. Buttons are close to eachother.

Solid

Very useful and solid little switch pedal. I have been using it a while with absolutely no trouble. Don't let the battery for the led indicator scare you off. I have had one in there over a year and it is still works fine for the little led. Otherwise the passive swiching is great and transparent.

AB/y switch

Great for switching between two amps or to switch between two guitars going into the same amp strongly recommended it for guitarists using multiple amps

Does its job.

If you're looking for a cheap ABY box that does the trick, this might be the thing you're looking for. I got it and I'm very happy I did. What you get is a good bang for your proverbial buck. It works as intended. No battery needed for the switch to do its job (unless you want the diodes to work, too).

What I miss sometimes is a phase switch or a ground lift - these features would come in handy when hooking up 2 amps to one guitar, but these features come in more expensive ABY boxes, I suppose.

If you want to use two amps, you might want to consider something else. Otherwise, you can't go wrong with this little thing'o :)

solid build for the price!!!

a simple ABY patchbox!

i do recommend using an extra out to your powersupply for the leds,

cause if you leave the jacks in it makes the leds stay on and drain your battery quitte fast

Very handy

Bought this for use with my looper pedal which only has 1 input. It allows me to plug both my guitar and a mic into it using the AB function to switch between which I use to record, and saves me having to put both through a mixer which was previously my only way of doing it.

Only issue is that the signal strength of each instrument is considerably harmed when using the Y function, so I have to use 2 mics, one for looping through the pedal and a separate one for main vocal. This is fine for live shows when I have my mixer set up, but it would have been nice to be able to use just one mic when busking, and sadly the drop in volume when using the Y function is just too big to run a main mic and guitar through one pedal.

Main pro for me is that it doesn't require power of any sort, just a 9V battery for the LEDs to work and even that isn't entirely necessary, although it does make things easier. It's very simple to use, is small so doesn't take up too much pedalboard space, and seems pretty robust.

All in all a great pedal for the price.

Lead Foot ABY

Purchased the Lead Foot ABY to mix two guitars into one amp, and it works without issue. There is no noticeable noise with it in the chain and the buttons are solid to press. The graphic on the pedal itself is a little confusing, but it's pretty simple overall, and the construction is very solid. The LEDs require a battery, but the pedal functions without one, which is convenient. There is a small loss of output when combining two signals, but nothing excessive. I haven't tested splitting one signal into two amps, but this is possible too. Overall it works very well, especially given the price.

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.
