VERIFIED BUYER

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.

Sound: Sound levels vary. Sometimes it passes full level, sometimes it attenuates, you just have to click the switch a couple of times to hear the difference. Feature: It sorely needs a separate led that stays dedicated to the a/b mode while you are in the y mode. Ease of Use: The switches are too close together, and when you are in a hurry you can easily stomp both switches leaving you in a bad place. I rebuilt mine in a new box I got at radio shack, I chopped the board apart and split the switches farther apart. Much better. Quality: This brings up the other reason I had to rebuild it. The in-out jacks do not create a positive lock on your cables. More than once during a performance a cable would just fall loose. I replaced them with cheap jacks from radio shack which make a tight click when you insert the cable and they hold securely. Value: Well it was cheap, but there isn't much to it. Having rebuilt this one I now know that I will be building my own from scratch very soon, so I can eliminate the level inconsistency problem. It doesn't bother me too bad because I am using an ART TPS2 tube preamp following the switch and that gives me quite a bit of tube compression. Great pre-amp! Manufacturer Support: Honestly, I give them the benefit of the doubt, but I have not tried to contact them about my problems, what are they going to do? Short of a complete redesign there is nothing they could do.

Sound: I just bought it and will be looking for a differant one that will switch SILNTLY. I took the chance wilth the little to no info I could find on this and lost. What's with the big clunky bang when I switch the pedal? Guess you get what you pay for. Feature: The A/B-Y part is very nice. I can play in one or two amps at the same time . The LED light is working ... nice to know where you stand with this thing visually. Quality: It seems solid. I've only had it two days . Value: I'd pay more for a silent switch that used good old American HARD steel screws (that won't strip after using them twice). Overall: If they'll eat my return postage I'll send it back to get a silent switch.

"Backwards from the Factory" submitted August 30, 2005

Back to Product Information

Overall: The outputs and inputs were backwards. I had to reletter them after I finally realized the factory got it wrong. I know it's unbelivable, my other band members didn't believe me either until I showed them. Also I finally gave up due to unprecidented feedback coming from the my setup once I introduced this box. Whatever it was the 2nd unit I've worked with. The first one didn't work, this one did but input /outputs backwards. I'd stay away from it!!!!!
