Title: Cheap A/B/Y pedal?
Post by: Adam.M on April 06, 2009, 11:33:55 PM

I'm after a cheap A/B/Y pedal, or even a kit i guess.

My amps now a Carlsbro 60TC, which like a plexi has two inputs for bass side and two for treble.

I've always thought it'd be cool to go through to amps, so i'm going to try going through two distortion pedals and seeing how i like it. Anyone tried it?

Could even have a totally dry side with just distortion and a slightly wet, less distorted side...

Hmm!

Morley has one that take two 9V batteries that's very good. It's quite transparent, well-built, and has silent switching.

In the UK, a great place for ABY/loop/switching pedals is - http://www.redonionsolutions.co.uk/  - Top quality, true bypass, and very reasonably priced.

If you want REALLY cheap try the Behringer AB100 - has got level controls for each output.

You're welcome.

I've got about 4 or 5 boxes/pedals  from TJ at Red Onion, and they have all been top notch. Thoroughly recommended.

I think the issue with those kind of pedals is the Y option, to get the signal split and both at the same power.
If I were to get an ABY (which I really should do) I would go with the Radial, but I just need to justify the price. It is a bit too much money really.
