An ABY pedal, also known as an amp switcher pedal or guitar switcher pedal, is a passive control that allows you to switch one input between 2 outputs or two inputs into one output. If you have two guitar amps and would like to either switch between them during a gig or run them both at the same time, you can use one of these pedals to do just ...

Switch Box with A/B/Y inputs and a buffered output (Parts Layout and Wiring Diagram) (Untested!) Here are some other examples of ABY switch boxes.

Feb 5, 2009 · A/B switch allows switching between 2 inputs into one output (eg: switch between 2 guitars in a gig without having to unplug) or use in reverse with one input switching between 2 outputs, eg: 1 guitar into either of 2 amps or amp/tuner, or select pedal chain …

Aug 22, 2016 · ABY switchers are primarily used to feed two guitar amps from a guitar. The AB designates the ability to switch between amplifiers, while the Y means that both amps can be turned on at once. Using an ABY switcher is easy.

Dec 25, 2015 · You need a third switch, preferably after the buffer, wired pretty much like the first switch with one of its outputs to the tuner jack and the other to the existing A/B switch. Course, you'd only need the one (fourth) LED connected to that switch.

Apr 17, 2022 · When you push the A/B switch, it alternates between the two LED's hooked up to it to show which loop is active. The Both switch is wired to put them in series with Loops 1 being the first in the series, so keep that in mind when stacking the pedals.

By pressing the A/B switch you can choose between any one of the amplifiers as the output. By pressing the A/B or A+B switch you can choose between using only one of the outputs or using both at the same time (that's the difference between A/B and A/B/Y box).

Here are some of the ways that an A/B/Y switch box can be used. Switch between your amp and a tuner so that you can tune silently or you can even tune while playing. Switch between two different amplifiers. We highly recommend you use the “Input Grounded” wiring, as we use in our projects here (but not in the Morely Schematic provided).

Simply a passive switch box to switch one input to two outputs or two inputs to one output. It has an addition switch to switch on both A and B at the same time. It is called passive, since the signal paths do not have any active circuits (no boost or buffering, etc). The 9 volt power going into the box is only to control the LED indicators.

Apr 1, 2008 · cool, thanks for the advice, i am gonna give a try, should be pretty easy actually... I have one of these switches, it has a 9 volt input but it is a mini plug rather than a dc jack. I need to change it too. This is the jack you need. This how to wire your jack so you can still use a battery if you want to. thanks ^^^
