ABY Switch + K-Buffer

Handy switch to select between two different outputs or both at the same time.

ABYs are normally a PITA to wire up, but this board-mounted switch kit takes all the hard work out of it.

Optional Klon Buffer on-board to keep your signal sparkling and healthy.

Available in a few different box configurations, and you can have AB indicated by two different LEDs or a single two-colour fella.

Please note: you may experience noise issues connecting two amps to this, you may not. If you want to avoid the possibility of any issues you'd have to go for a more complex (and expensive) transformer-isolated box.

Kit includes: PCB, all components, footswtiches, hook-up wire, jack sockets, DC socket, LEDs. Enclosure (pre-drilled) is optional and won't take a battery. No knobs required.

Difficulty: Easy

PCB size: 85 x 21mm

Footswtich spacing: 65mm

Enclosure: 1590B

If you want the kit pre-built you must add the enclosure option below and select your knobs in the Components section. Check Specials for powder-coated enclosure availability.

Switcheroo
"Pretty straight forward build, but unfortunately I put the footswitches/LEDs in the wrong way so lid of pedal couldn't close properly. Luckily my solders is good enough that I could remove the caps and flip them! Works ok, haven't noticed ground hum, maybe my amps arent loud enough?" Ozzie Joe - 22 November 2020

Switches get...Switches
"Great and simple build, works perfectly with my heavily modified '65 Bassman head -- the two channels now do crazy things and this allows me to switch between them simply. I built a FuzzDog Klon buffer for the front end and this is at the back end, per FuzzDog's recommendation -- not a drop of tone gone with 14 pedals in between the buffers. Great idea for a kit."

Awesome!!
"my first ever build, simple enough to practice soldering skills, yet challenging enough to feel accomplished at the end. very clean inside, simple PCB. I chose not to use the buffer and it sounds fine, but mainly because I'm a cheapskate. I don't get any ground hum, well... yet. Although it's very likely I may, as I use this to split into a bass amp and guitar amp. I'm surprised it worked after my dodgy soldering and drilling my own enclosure, but very happy with it in the end" adie - 12 May 2017
