WANTED an A-B Switch

Post by Bo Borland »

I need an A/B switch to swap amps in a live situation.

I like silent switches and status lights beyond that I will consider anything


Anyone have a Boss LS2 for sale

I'll take it if Bo passes on the pedal.

Just let me know either way.

Thanks,

John

Hey Bo

I use a Whirlwind ($140) because it switches silently. Sounds OK but Starts to lose highs as the battery weakens. You can get a transformer to power it. Hope all is well! Tommy

Bo, they're pretty easy to build yourself if you have a drill, soldering iron, continuity [ohm] meter and a little extra time.

I just finished one using an old Match Box chassis, 3 mono input jacks, and a simple mini on, on, center off switch. A Geo. L's leg clamp bracket. It works just fine, no tone suck or switching noise. Nothing fancy. Just a common passive switch and some jacks.

You could buy a cheap project box and these parts fairly reasonable and build to suit if you are so inclined.

The simplest from Lehle. Very quiet, has quiet switch
and single LED. My son has an older Lehle A/B/Y
switch and loves it.
