Donner ABY Box Line Selector AB Switch Mini Guitar Effect Pedal True Bypass

Use this in A+B mode to split my signal into two outputs on my pedalboard. No ground loop problems or extra noise issues. Great pedal if you want a robust, simple ABY splitter for a low price.

I was actually looking for a mute switch to open an effects loop line in series. There are plenty of more expensive mute switches that do more than required. All I needed to do in this case was connect the return to my amp from my effects output to "B" and leave "A" unconnected. Then I get a red LED light when the loop is open and green when closed. Perfect. It works fine wihtout the power connected but you don't get an LED light of course.

All good, works, no discernible noise or cross talk as in some reviews. I got this model rather than Donner's newer Path Seeker' model as it works in either direction (one signal into two, or two signals into one) which I thought would be more flexible. Couple of things to note though - the foot switch only switches between channels A or B. If you want BOTH channels, A and B, then you need to use the little black slider switch. So you can't switch from one channel to both channels using your foot (unless you have extremely dexterious toes). Also this model lacks the volume controls and the ability to put one of the split channels out of phase, which the Path Seeker has. Volume you can control further up steam, but the ability to change the phase of one channel might be really useful and seriously improve the sound. So I would say if you just want to split a signal and just switch between the two channels this model is fine, but if you want to split a signal but play both channels together then I would probably spend the extra tenner for the path seeker. Going the other way, if you want to combine two separate signals in to single channel (e.g. two instruments into one amp) then this model will do that, but the path seeker won't. Hope that makes some sense.

Good AYB pedal.

So far very impressed with the quality of this pedal over the larger competitors ! super compact and a very sturdy construction

A simple device that does exactly as described. No noise and works perfectly with clear red or green LED

It did what it's meant to do at a good price! What more is there to say???

Very versatile little ABY pedal, exactly what I was looking for and the value for money is exceptional, will definitely purchase another Donner pedal in the near future. Bought to run two amplifiers at the same time for a mix of tones, perfect product

If you need a straightforward A/B/Y switcher to route your guitar signal between two amps, two inputs, or to bypass parts of a pedal chain, this little Donner box does the job really well. What I use it for • Switching between two amps (A or B), or running both at once (Y) depending on the song/part. The mode switch lets you choose A/B or A&B operation. • Bypassing pedals / routing options on a board without rewiring everything—super handy if you want a “go straight to amp” option. • It also supports bi-directional use (one input to two outputs, or two inputs to one output), which makes it more versatile than you’d expect for the price. Build / usability • Solid metal enclosure, compact footprint, and clear LED status (A = red, B = green, combined = yellow). • True bypass design so it stays out of the way tone-wise. • Standard 9V center-negative power and very low current draw (~10mA). “Pro rig” relevance (why this style of pedal is so useful) If you’ve ever watched players with big stage sounds (think the multiple input / multiple amp vibe—Justin Hawkins / The Darkness type energy), a lot of that flexibility comes from simple switching and bypass routing so you can jump between different inputs/amps instantly without tap dancing. This pedal is a cheap, effective way to get that kind of routing capability on a normal board. Important safety note (seriously) This is for instrument/line-level switching, not speaker outputs. - Use it before the amp (to feed two amps, or two inputs). - Do NOT use it after an amp to connect multiple amp heads to a single cabinet—this can damage amps (especially tube amps). Bottom line A simple ABY box that works exactly as intended: reliable switching, true bypass, clear LEDs, compact, and great value. If you need easy routing options on a pedalboard, this is an easy 5-star.

Siempre he pensado que este tipo de pedales ABY los hacian demasiado grandes para lo que son , tengo el Fender ABY ese rojo que es muy bonito pero tambien muy grande y ocupa mucho sitio para ser un simple derivador de señal , asi que buscando por ahi para reducir el tamaño de mi pedalera , vi este Donner y me decidi por el . Es pequeño , robusto , de buena fabricacion y funciona muy bien . Lo uso para derivar la señal de la guitarra a dos amplificadores y de m omento va perfecto , no parece que afecte el sonido comparado con el Fender y hace la funciones a la perfeccion , tanto la de dos amplis a la vez como la de ir cambiando de uno a otro , no hace ningun ruido en los cambios y cuando cambias de unos a otro no se filtra nada de señal del que anulas . con el Fender si me pasaba , cuando ponia uno se filtraba un poco de señal del otro , en este nada de nada . Hubiera comprado otro para ponerlo en el loop de efectos de unoo de los amplis al final de la cadena de efectos , para poder mandar una señal al return del loop y otra para mandar la señal del preamp y los efectos a un Mooer Radar y de este a unos altavoces activos o a la salida de auriculares y tener buen sonido por los cascos y no molestar a nadie .... pero ya no puedo comprarlo porque ya no quedan , me parece que compre el ultimo , una pena porque la relacion calidad precio es excelente salvo que el tiempo diga lo contrario.

Das kleine Pedal tut genau was es soll, ich nutze nur die A/B Funktion aber auch die A/B/Y funktioniert. Und das pedal is so schön einfach gehalten das man keinen Strom brauch das es funktioniert. Wenn man natürlich damit leben kann dass die LED dann nicht leuchtet. All in all ein kleiner billiger Switch der das macht was er verspricht.

Excellent and reliable splitter function 👍

Ho una catena di pedali piuttosto lunga, e diversi pedali bufferati (per chi non lo sapesse, semplifico, il buffer cambia il modo del segnale di passare attraverso i pedali, lo rende più “scorrevole”. Semplificazione estrema.). Fatta questa premessa, questo pedale è piccolo, costruito bene, NON richiede alimentazione (ma potete alimentarlo per vedere la luce led cambiare colore) e non fa rumore, ne di base ne allo switch tra i canali. Il pedale è un A/B oppure A+B costanti. O uno o l’altro. Adesso lo sto usando solo come un A+B e funziona perfettamente, senza clamorosa perdita di segnale. Perderete sempre qualcosa per strada, ma nel mio caso forse, e sottolineo forse, complice il buffer nei pedali prima e dopo, il segnale passa liscio come l’olio. E costa pochissimo. Perfetto, 5/5.
