Fender 023-4506-000 ABY Pedal Switch Between Two Amps or Guitars 023-4506-000

Product Information

This AB/Y Switcher from Old Blood allows simultaneous use of two outputs and two inputs. A simple and reliable solution for switching between them. Now that your soldering iron is up to temperature, we can prepare all of our hardware components and tin them with a bit of solder to make soldering your wires to them much easier.

In context, think about it this way... Ifyou're playing either a riff or a chord progressionwith an ABY unit splitting your signal into two, what you're playing is doubled and those frequencieswill oscillate atthe same speed. However,those frequencies will be slightly different, as they areemittedthrough different amps with their own uniquetonal characteristics. Thosesimultaneous frequencies may then end up fighting one another if 180 or 90 degrees out-of-phase, which you certainly don't want! Sometimes this is worse with similaramp combinations, but it may not occur with a more diverse pairing. The HUGE advantage the Fender ABY box holds over all the more esoteric and more expensive models is its passive operation. No need for an annoying little 9v PSU & cable, just a 9v battery to power the status LED's. I anticipate that, running just those two LED's, the battery will be good for many years !! My Review: When I first came across the Amp Detonator pedal, I had high expectations due to my past experiences using Orange amplifiers. The expert manufacturers who were largely responsible for the classic British guitar tone also have an impressive catalog of stompboxes. Who is this best suited for: Affordable and easy to operate, the Sonicake Sonic ABY is a good choice for guitarists who want to switch between two amps without overcomplicating the process.This pedal has a specially built Lehle LTHZ transformer that electrically isolates ground connection and breaks hum at this point. Its compactness and battery-powered operation make it a great companion for those always on the move.

A major perk is that it does all this without inducing the annoying hum or buzz often associated with dual amp setups. A transparent and noise-free performance is crucial for any guitarist who wants to achieve a clear and desirable sound. All the manufacturers also tend to have a more personal approach, with better customer service and the ability to customize pedals according to the user’s preferences. While it might not be the stuff of sorcery or groundbreaking innovation, its straightforward operation is part of the appeal. The Micro ABY also offers true bypass when not in use, ensuring your effects pedals stay unaffected by its presence in your chain.The incredible ability of Radial BigShot ABY true passive switcher to toggle between guitar amps and yet keep its original signal quality or play both amps at once perfectly makes it an interesting ABY pedal to use. When toggling between the amplifiers using the ABY pedal, it’s essential to experiment with these settings and adjustments to arrive at a coherent and satisfying sound. My Review: The CoolSwitch Pro by ART is a highly functional isolated ABY switcher pedal. When I first analyzed the specifics of this device, it reminded me of a preamp or DI box due to its dimensions and design. Tuner: Place your tuner pedal first to ensure your signal is in tune before passing through the other pedals. Those who lean towards a more classic, authentic sound may gravitate towards analog pedals, which can warm the tone many musicians adore.

This compact, functional ABY from EHX is ideal for the player with fairly basic switching needs, and not much room on their pedalboard. At around 4.5 inches long and 2.75 inches wide, the entirely passive Switchblade Plus is easy to work into a crowded pile of stompboxes. One way to achieve excellent sound quality is to look for a pedal with true bypass technology or buffered bypass options. Many amplifiers come equipped with effects loops, which enable the player to insert effects such as delays and reverbs in a specific part of the amplifier’s signal chain, usually between the preamp and power amp sections.While its feature set may not be extensive, it delivers its intended purpose with a high-quality analog signal format.

Pitch-based effects: Octavers, harmonizers, and pitch shifters should come after filters and dynamics since these pedals alter the pitch of your signal and work best with a clean, unprocessed sound.This AB/Y Switcher pedal works perfectly, without any noise issues or loss of tone. I also found that it is built like a tank, and the LED indicators provided me with a clear visual display of the status of the switching mechanism.
