Hello. I am a new member to this forum, but I still hope you can help me. I need to find an ab that switches to lines and has a tuner out. I need to switch an acoustic going to a PA, and an electric going to effects/amp to one tuner. I can wire it myself if I only know how to do it (I think)...

If you can use a soldering iron and are up for building it yourself, all the parts you need are at http://www.smallbearelec.com
theres a site somewhere on this page that has instructions for building something like what you're after, http://www.shredaholic.com/effects.html (Geofex I think?? not sure...)
-
actually I think its tonepad, 2nd link on the links section
-
Hmm. I looked but I didn't find it... Probably just overlooked it. It's sunday, after all :roll:
I'll check again later. If anybody has any other ideas, feel free to chime in :D
-
You need two AB boxes, and a splitter Y cable from the B out of both to go to your tuner. I've got a feeling you could get ground loop trouble though!
I'll se if there's a link anywhere.
Oh...welcome! :P

Hi, I have designed it for you. If you like I can email the design to you in a word doc.
It's one box with 2 DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) foot switches in. Having 2 inputs and 3 outputs. It's only 6 components including the box, all can be bought from Maplin for about £15-£20 total. I am orginally an Electronic Engineer by trade, this is very simple to design. You could not use 2 AB boxes, unless the tuner has 2 inputs.

Hence the Y cable :wink:

Thank you, Baxter, that would be great. My e-mail is in my profile. I would be eternally greatful if this works :D and so would a friend of mine whi inspired this idea...

I have emailed the design to you. Looks complicated, but it's pretty simple really. The biggest job will be drilling the box.
If you want LEDs I can add that, but you will need Triple Pole Double Throw switches instead, and a battery inside.
-
Thanks, man :D LEDs would be nice, especially for my friend, but no need to hurry. I will try to build this first.
-
Let me know when you have the AB box built and working. Then I will send you the next design.
Good luck with it.
-
Will do. I'm pretty busy at the moment, but I should have it done in a couple of weeks. And again, thanks. This forum is great.
