The Swiss Army Knife of Pedalboard Routing
Designed for guitarists and bassists using two amps, a wet/dry setup, or parallel effects loops, the « Active ABY » provides the stability and clarity of an active circuit. Made in Berlin, it targets professional reliability for intensive live use.
Who It?s For and Suitable Styles
Ideal from blues to modern rock, technical metal to ambient setups. In the studio, it facilitates multi-amp recording; on stage, it allows switching from a clean amp to a distorted amp, or summing 2 to 1 without level loss. Its omnidirectional design makes it relevant in complex rigs.
Precise Switching, Controlled Phase
The active circuit ensures a strong signal even with long cables. The 180° phase inverter solves phase issues between amps. The soft footswitch guarantees silent toggling. The « A&B>Y » or « Y>A&B » selector clarifies signal flow direction, whether sending one source to two destinations or combining two sources into one.
Sound Quality
Transparent and respectful of the original tone, this router adds no unwanted compression or noticeable coloration. Dynamics remain intact and the natural playing feel is preserved, with comfortable headroom for pedals and high-level amps.
