Feature:
Love the options for switching. Needs to have an input for a power adapter. It can only be power by a 9v battery, which is difficult to get to (you have to remove screws from the base). I cut a notch in the case to thread the battery plug outside, so I can power it with my daisy-chain power supply.

Quality:
Both red LEDs have burnt out, and the channels are getting noisy....

Value:
good price, but the quality of the unit is lacking

Desirability:
I will be picking up a different AB box to replace this one.

Sound:
Seemed fine for the first few months, but now is getting a bit noisy...

Ease of Use:
pretty easy to figure out

Support:
since I modified the case, I pretty much have voided the warranty, so I haven't had opportunity to check in with customer service....

Feature:
The only feature I did not like was the battery will drain if you do not unplug. An on/off switch in needed to insure battrey life.

Quality:
I have two of them. I got the first one as soon as they came out and the about two months later. I'm currently switching between 3 guitars. I'm about to buy a third one so I can conect up to 4 guitars to one amp, switching between them with ease. They get use every day and move about frequently.

Value:
Compaired to the nearest compeditor which is about twice as much, this product allows players who do not have a lot of money to around a chance to use some really nice features.

Desirability:
It works well in the studio and on the road, I like the larger touch pads and the led lights are easy to see.

Sound:
It did not chage the sound of my guitars.

Ease of Use:
Simple to use.

Support:
No need they are working fine. I did how ever have to add a switch to extend battery life.

Overall:
I would like to see one that switched more than 2 guitars to 1 amp.

Feature:
The features are actually fantastic.... if only it worked without breaking, I'm on my second one and it didn't last a month.

Quality:
I tend to like Behringer products, and the design of this switch is great. But it's put together like crap and my second one has broken in under a month.

Value:
The value would be incredible... if it worked.

Sound:
It didn't appear to affect the sound.

Ease of Use:
A few minutes and you know what's going on. It's not rocket science.

Support:
I'm about to deal with them and see what happens.

Overall:
It's not a professional item and it will break after use.

Feature:
It's inexpensive. 2 switches are great. You can select between latch and non-latch. These dovetail together with other AB200 to make a solid pedal board and I think they will also dovetail with the BOSS switch. The major drawback is the lack of 9v power input. You have to unscrew and open the case to change the battery. There is no on/off switch.

Quality:
I've opened it and inspected the parts. The parts are cheap and not at all robust. Be gentle with this. Really gentle. This is ok for a home/hobby setup, but you can't gig with this. Not good for children or excitable teens 'cause they are really tough on pedals.

Value:
What can you really expect from a XX pedal? I still buy a lot of Behringer. Their gear is cheap but I have yet to have a problem.

Desirability:
This solves a problem in my home rig for low cost and I did not lust for it. If it lasts, then great. I cheaped out and went with Behringer instead of Boss. Boss is better and more robust but still not sexy.

Sound:
It's clean. No detectable coloration, hum or hiss.

Ease of Use:
If you can step you can use this. -The battery is a pain to change, requiring disassembly. The battery will go dead if you leave your gear plugged in. Plugging and unplugging gear will wear it out cause it uses cheap connectors. I immediately modified mine with a Godlyke 9v battery adapter and my trusty Dremel. Now I don't have to change batteries or unplug my gear ever.

Support:
unknown, I won't call for a XX dollar pedal. I'll just fix it myself.

Overall:
When this breaks, I'll attempt to fix it. Better switches and connectors. If I can't fix it, then maybe I'll buy another Behringer, because I'm cheap. We'll see.

Feature:
If it worked, it would have great features, but like so much Behringer stuff, it doesn't.

Quality:
This thing broke after two months. Piece of garbage, it's a fisher-price toy.

Value:
If it didn't fall apart and if it wasn't impossible to put the battery in, and if one of the LEDs hadn't been busted when I first got it.... It is garbage

Desirability:
Stupid non-working piece of gear.

Sound:
No opinion. It doesn't color the sound. It shouldn't

Ease of Use:
simple, straightforward, but VERY hard to put the battery in,.

Support:
WHO CARES. It's a piece of junk

Overall:
I started looking for something to replace it immediately.

Feature:
This is actually two A-B switches in ONE! I got it together with a 2nd V-Amp Pro so I could switch between the two without delay and to fiddle with one while I play the other. As a bonus, I found that through some creative use of this pedal I could work in a microphone to sing through the effects box I wasn't using. Very good!

Quality:
Seems good so far. only used it one weekend.

Value:
Twice the pedal for 2/3 the price of a BOSS.

Desirability:
Pretty sure my bandmate will get one too. Hell, I might even get a second one.

Sound:
I did not notice any coloration or distortion or noise.

Ease of Use:
Like a lot of Behringer products, this has more functionality than buttons, and doesn't cater to your intuition. It's a simple device, however, so it only takes 2 minutes of looking at the instructions to figure it out. It took me 3 minutes more to figure out the complex arrangement explained above, but after that I was completely satisfied.
