OK seriously which one to get ????

[Mrevol]

Hey guys, I have to purchase a unit to run two amps at once for recording purposes. Money not an issue--want the best quality. I went on the radial site and see three items that do it---so which one is the best and why. What are the differences? Or is there a better product out there??

Twin-City ABY switcher
Tonebone Switchblade
Big Shot ABY

i have the twin-city and it works great. never used the others so i can't 100% say it's "the best" without having used the others. however it does exactly what it says it does with no noise or issues with ground loops, hum or being out of phase thanks to the switches to adjust it for any particular situation. after all the reading i did it seemed like the best choice and i don't regret it.

I have used the Big shot , Jx2 pro and still use the Twin city. Never had a problem with any of them. Still use the twin city because it has Led's (unlike big shot) and is smaller than the Jx2. All of them feature phase shift (180) and ground lift. Very handy to have both options.

I've never heard a bad thing about the Tonebone, and the Radial products feature wise are top notch. Speak to Gxrbusa, he's got enoguh amps he MUST know about switching. and I saw a Radial switcher in his pictures.

$0.02

I heard about this "startouch" aby pedal. Hearing that its really good. Anyone know about it?? Really is there a difference between this and the radial stuff?

I can testify to Radial being top notch as well.

Haven't tried that particular product though....

Hehe. I started writing before you, I got the message where it said someone had written another message but I ignored it.

May I suggest Lehle Dual SGOS?

This is the correct answer...if you want the best and $ isn't the issue.

I've had several ABYs and they all bleed a little or are noisy. Not the Lehle.

First one I had bled the signal through both channels, sent it back for upgraded switching and isolated grounds - it was better, but eventually got noisy on high-gain applications.

Do any of you have experience with some of the big dogs like.

Creation audio labs MW-1
Little Labs PCP
Radial JD-7

Basically I want to do multiple amps for recording but would like to do the reamping thing down the line also.

Right now I own a countryman 85 di and a little labs redeye. Should I keep and just get a cheap ($300 and under) product or should I sell the two and get one unit that does it all?

I have a startouch a/b pedal and it rocks. Really well built and quite too.

 

[nbarts]

I use little labs PCP right now, but lehle is just as good if not better soundwise. If you need the features of the pcp, go for it, that said it alters your original guitar sound more than the Lehle.

 

[Mrevol]

Ok I have heard a couple times that the PCP changes the tone a little so I think I'm scratching off the list.

Most recommended at this point is the MW-1

Anyone have experience with it??
