StingRayBoy42 Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 (edited) I want an A/B pedal to switch between Electric and Upright, with a tuner output (or an extra footswitch) that silences everything. I like this Bright Onion pedal but it's £85 and has an FX loop and a buffer that I don't need. Anything you can reccomend? Apologies (and feel free to move) if this should be in Effects Edited October 8, 2022 by StingRayBoy42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrixn1 Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 If you put the output of any AB pedal into any pedal tuner, engaging the tuner will silence everything. Not directly answering the question - but just putting it out there: although an EBS MicroBass 3 or Stanley Clarke preamp are expensive, once I'd sold my other EQ pedals, DI box, HPF/overdrive/tuner, headphone amp, and AB pedal - all of which were no longer needed - I was close to breaking even.

Yeah, that's plan B. 😛 13 hours ago, jrixn1 said: EBS MicroBass 3 or Stanley Clarke preamp They look incredible, but they're way too expensive and over engineered for what I need!

jrixn1 Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 Is this closer: https://www.brightonion.co.uk/dual-ab-switch/ - put your tuner in output B? Or if you want it without the loop, that would be just two basic AB boxes connected together. If it must be physically in one box, contact James at Bright Onion as I think he does customizations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauzero Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 With a drill and a soldering iron, you could knock your own up. One DPDT footswitch to switch between the two inputs, a second footswitch to switch on and off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

franzbassist Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Bright Onions are excellent and will make you whatever you want. Just ask them to make you one without the loop and buffer and they will! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be going for Bright Onion though - they tick all the boxes (and I'm a sucker for a pink LED). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPJ Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Have a look at the Radial Big Shot I/O. I used to have one for exactly the same purpose. Totally passive, only needs 9v for the LEDs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downunderwonder Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Jeebus. Just put the tuner after the A/B box, per the first response. /thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
