la bam Posted October 6, 2016 Posted October 6, 2016 Hi all, Im just putting my pedal board together for our dance/house band and wondered if anyone uses A/B boxes for switching between basses, and if so could they recommend one? Just needs to be silent in operation and easy to 'stomp' between the 2 basses on the pedal. Quote
franzbassist Posted October 6, 2016 Posted October 6, 2016 Lots of options out there, but I keep coming back to the Radial Bigshot i/o: uncolored, no power needed, adjustable gain on one channel to match outputs. If you decided you want independent EQ as well I would recommend the Providence Dual Bass Station. Quote

TrevorR Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 Lehle. A bit more pricy but bomb proof. Quote
casapete Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 For a cheap solution the Fender ABY is pretty good. No bells and whistles but does the job just fine for me. https://www.andertons.co.uk/p/0234506000/footswitches/fender-2-switch-aby-switcher-pedal-in-red?LGWCODE=0234506000;56375;6335&gclid=COfRu9eo0c8CFWYo0wodgmoPdg Quote
dannybuoy Posted October 12, 2016 Posted October 12, 2016 If you want a decent simple passive A/B box in a tiny pedal, I have one for sale here: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/290887-lucid-audio-fuzz-o-potamus-original-q-tron-wee-lush-ab-boxx-napalm-snowball-feedback-loop-tap-tempo-switch Quote
Guest Posted October 15, 2016 Posted October 15, 2016 (edited) Thundertomate handmade, it'a a Spanish boutique maker, I asked for a custom version (originally it was for guitar so I asked for 2 switches for active/passive bass). I don't remember the price, but it was good for the quality. Even if in the website you can read "[color=#999999][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]Please, note that I'm NOT currently selling pedals.[/size][/font][/color]", you can ask I know sometimes he accepts some orders.

Jack Posted November 21, 2016 Posted November 21, 2016 Subbed for info. I'm trying to work out if I need to spend more than Thomann's £25 Lead Foot. I want all the jacks on the top.... Quote
