Fender ABY Footswitch

I need to switch guitars on stage regularly. To switch guitars without the constant plugging and unplugging, the footswitch is great to do that seamlessly and smoothly.

The great thing about this device is that it is heavy duty and feels indestructible. Shit happens during performances, especially if you play in rowdy bars. You may never know what type of emotions you might coax out of your audience.

The cons is that both A and B lights are blue. There will be venues where it is dark as hell. So I might not be able to see which button I am stepping on.

I have not used it to switch the outputs but I'd imagine that it would be similar to what I have done.

Overall a great handy product to have. At that low price range, it is unbeatable! The hard metal casing certainly makes it feel twice as expensive.

The footswitch is not as good as I thought. When I opened the battery compartment the screws threads broke. I managed to solve the problem. All good to plug and play. I use it for two guitars. For A or B mode is perfect, but in A and B mode the instruments volumes are very low. If you turn one guitar volume the other guitar is also muted.

Pro: very good for A or B mode.
Cons: A and B mode is useless, and the battery door screws threads broke on the first unscrew trial.

The order delivery from Thomann fast and in time. The five stars rating was for Thomann good work.

What a great, no nonsense piece of kit. I'm delighted. It does exactly what it's supposed to do and requires no annoying power unit. I installed a battery to run the LEDs but the footswitch works perfectly well without, so even when the battery runs out, it still works, just without the indicators. I'm using it to switch my condenser instrument mic between channels on the desk, giving me a perfect volume boost for solos. As a saxophonist I was sick of blowing solos at backing volume, when the guitarist and keyboards could play their solos at boosted volume. The Fender footswitch passes phantom power to my clip-on mic and my solos are now out front where they belong. A simple, elegant solution, to a, age-old problem. Perfect.

My main board has a Morley Tripler on it,bought this to give a two-output option for a smaller board and its perfect for the job....solid folded steel box,decent bright LED indicators,switches and jacks seem solid and I see no effect at all from splitting the signal,both outputs identical
Like the Morley the footswitches are widely separated,more than is needed by the presumably simple wiring but its a good practical feature in terms of operating the unit and it still doesn't take over your board.
Practical,well built and straightforward . ......a great little unit for the price!
