Your cart is empty.It’s a well-known fact that running two amps is not only enormous fun, but also a time-honored way of achieving bigger tones on stage and in the studio. Whether it’s switching between two different amplifiers for their individual characteristics (rhythm and lead, for example) or using them simultaneously for huge walls of sound, pros have been employing this setup for decades. Achieving this easily, however, has always been a problem for guitar players. Poor quality passive ABY boxes/line selectors load the guitar signal down, degrading the tone and rendering the whole exercise almost pointless. Not to mention ground hum issues caused by non-isolated outputs. On the other hand, active ABY pedals are in short supply and are usually quite cumbersome.

There are other amp switchers that are easily double the price of this one, but this Orange amp switcher is not only well-built, it’s cost AND the signal/tone throughput is outstanding.I have it last in my signal chain (Boss NS-2 just before it), and I almost can’t tell a difference with tone and signal quality if I take my NS out of the chain.The build quality is astounding. It feels sturdy and “heavyâ€, which makes me confident in using it. It is a stomp box, so sturdy and “heavy†is good!Don’t buy the $300 (or higher) amp switcher. Get this one and save the cash, or get that extra pedal with the money you saved.Orange for life!(Dual amp setup: Brent Hinds Terror 15W with Bogner 212 greenback+G12H30 and Victory VX Kraken lunchbox with Mojotone 210 dual greenbacks)

Very impressed with this sturdy product that does everything I needed to do, quiet, rugged, and even a tonal option. Highly recommend it.I tried the Morley passive pedal and it was too noisy although it was nice to have 3 amps Just not usable.

probly the best A/B out there. I don't like where they are manufactured, but if I say where that is my review gets banned (lol) so be sure to check that out if it matters to you.There's some attention to detail issues here for me. The chrome stomp bar thing is installed crookedly on mine. The finish is quite ugly and uneven, in some light it looks grey and blotchy, in other light it is green and blotchy.I like the bright indicator and the fact it is multi-color.The base is made of rubber - why are pedal manufacturers doing this? adhesives will not stick, so if you're mounting to a pedal board you'll have to rip off the rubber mat on the bottom. what IS good is that you can remove it and you still have a bottom plate to work with - not always the case with some pedals.Overall I don't really care tooooo much about the looks, it's what's inside that matters. so 5 stars. it works great and has a phase switch.

The phase switch is great but it’s the dual buffered outputs that’s the winner here. The B-side is buffered with a transformer to prevent interference from ground loop. Does the B-side sound a little different with the transformer? Yes but it’s very difficult to tell on this pedal since they EQ compensated for the usual roll off on the high and low end. Internal voltage is stepped up to provide extra headroom to do things just like that and they did a quality job too.If yours is making noise return/replace. Mine is silent.

I've been wanting an ABY pedal so I could use one amp for clean tones and another for heavy tones and so I can play through both at the same time to get a fuller tone. WOW!!! This thing is amazing!!! The sound of two amps together is nothing short of unbelievable! First I bought a Boss LS-2 for the same purpose but it created an annoying ground loop buzz in the amp that wasn't in use that was just far too loud and annoying. This doesn't do that, at all! It's silent! It's worth the few extra dollars to get this over the other options.

I absolutely love this thing I have a song with some very fast picking that was really hard to multitrack and with this I did it in a matter of minutes almost seems to easy. Money well spent

I have 2 amps that sound OK, but not great, with either one of them pushing 2 1 x 12s.Using the Orange Amp Detonator, I just have each amp push one 1 x 12, so I still get stereo sound, and it sounds much better to me with both amps operaring. They are two different brand amps, but they are very complimentary using this pedal. I am surprised just how pleasing the combination of amps is, considering I wasn’t thrilled with either of them separately. Also, I can record/play a loop on one amp, and improvise over the other amp, and it sounds way cleaner than if I try to play over the looper hooked to either amp pushing 2 1 x 12s.
