Moved to Electronics from Steel Without Pedals.

the best one I've tried is the Radial hot shot

I am fond of this one:

Well made..... built like a tank

the best Ive found are the ones I make because they are totally passive, completely grounded and I can customize the cases. Its super easy to do it.


heres the link I started with

heres a couple I made:

thanks guys for your answers re ab boxes, i decided to order the startouch pedal,thanks G strout, great price at $79.00
thanks again Alex Burns

I use the basic, passive DOD A/B box and have not noticed any tone change.

I really like the Whirlwind Selector.

Here's the one I prefer as it has individual output adjustments and can be configured a variety of ways. Multiple instruments into one amp or one instrument split into combo amps. Quite versatile.

Hey Ben - Thanks for the link - I'm about 2 projects away from building an AB setup in a custom box similiar to yours - figure I'll have about $14.00 into it ! Take care - Franko

Very odd that it has a tip positive power connector, which means it won't work with most external supplies.

I use an A/B-Y switch by RFX (Rolls) and/or a custom made pedal, just like the one shown above @ Fulltone link...

Big fan of the Boss LS-2. It's amazing how versatile this pedal is. It can perform an astonishing number of functions. Check out the pdf to see how useful this thing is. I have two of them.
