Seems like most of the cheaper ones get bad reviews for sucking tone and noisy switching. Can anyone suggest a decent one?

I know you said "least $" but the absolute best I have heard and used has been the Leihle (sp?) I can't remember if that is spelled right, but there is nothing like the box they make. Spend the dough and do it right. Something like that can make the entire chain sound like crap...it isn't worth skimping on. JMHO, hope this helps.

yeah, that's what i was afraid of. Is this my only option for playing through two amps at once? (say if I didn't need the footswitch.) Seems like a lot of money just to split the signal in two. I guess I'll start savin' up.

I know that Radial makes one and I bet you can get it around $50 if you try - the other option is to just plain make one yourself...

If you want both amps at once all the time, get a stereo chorus; you can get one for about the price of the switcher/splitter. It will split the signal just fine even when it's turned off, and you'll get the chorus effect as a bonus.

+1 If all you want is to have two amps on at the same time, any stereo pedal will work fine. I didn't know that this was your intention.

I'm new here, what is a A/B/Y box?

It's a box with two stomp switches, one input and two outputs. One switch sends the input to either the A or B output, and the other selects between (A or B) or (A and B). Obviously, if (A and B) is selected, the first switch does nothing. I have no idea what the "Y" in the name means.

An A/B/Y box lets you switch one input to either an "A" output, a "B" output, or "Y", which outputs to both the "A" output and the "B" output. Usually it is used to switch between two different amplifiers with one guitar, but you can usually use it the other way as well, I.E. have two inputs that you choose between to send to one output.

Thanks, so it's a device to split the signal in two, right? I think the "Y" stands for the shape it has when the connectors are plugged: On in, two out, lol
