ABY / Switcher Pedals

Pedals for switching, selecting and other utility uses are an important part of using pedals. Loopers, for example, often have extra functionality that opens up when connected with extra footswitches.

Amplifiers with more than one channel require the correct type of footswitch to choose between channels. Certain digital amps go further and add extra effects and so on via the addition of the corresponding switch.

A/B and A/B/Y switches are extremely useful pedals. They split your signal, either from one signal into two or two signals into one. A/B/Y switches are useful in a number of ways, a few of which would entail using two guitars with a single amp (without disconnecting anything) or indeed plugging one guitar into two different amplifiers and hearing both at once or one at a time.

There are lots of utility pedals available for these reasons and many more. Each of our UK guitarguitar stores hold a vast array of pedals of all types and sizes. Browse our full selection here online or pop into any of our stores to see the stock in person.
