Lead Foot ABY

I bought this Lead Foot ABY to switch between - and mix together - the left and the right channel on my 22500 Loper's stereo output.

To test channel interference, I used the A and B 1/4" jacks as inputs in which I sent a 0 dB (1 kHz) signal. I connected one of the parallel 1/4" jacks as output to a HI-Z input on an Audio Interface to measure signal strength. There was no change in the signal on the selected channel, but there was a crosstalk of -28dB from the non-selected channel. When A and B input were linked together, the sum of the signals was +6dB.

The buttons are fitted with just 4 cm distance between them which means that you need to be a bit accurate not to press the wrong button by misstake. The advantage is that you can easily press both buttons at the same time if you need to.

When both A and B are active at the same time, both LEDs are illuminated. Therefore - if you forgot the previous A/B setting, you can not determine which of the A and B jacks that becomes active when the Y-connection is disabled. (This could have been encoded with the use of multicolor LEDs.) The LEDs are small and sits deep in the panel and is therefore a little difficult to read in bright light and/or at a large viewing angle, but mostly this is no problem.

There was no problem to get the 9V battery in and out of the box. The LEDs are activated whenever a plug is inserted in one of the "parallel" in/out jacks.

The Lead Foot ABY switch pedal does what it is meant to do. Feels robust, and has a good 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.

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.
