Cheap, solid, reliable footswitch

Great for splitting signal, I did have to add a battery adapter so that I can connect this pedal to my power supply (this originally a battery-powered only unit). Yeah haven't had much issues with it!

Not even a ground/lift switch was installed! BUYER BEWARE!

I was originally planning to use this for the ABY footswitch for my guitar rig; however when I tried to use it with my rack rig, the blatant design flaw was the fact that there was no ground/lift switch installed onto the unit. WTF?! There's no option to at least tame any grounding issues with this? I'm sorry, but in my books, that is an epic fail. DO NOT BUY THIS POS! Save your money and go for the Radial Bigshot ABY footswitch, which will come with the Ground/Lift switch and get that issue resolved.

The Morley A/B Switch pedal is the best switch I have ever owned—no doubt about it. Two amps, two guitars, make a choice.

Used it and stopped

I used this ABY to run my guitar into a Fender Mustang I V combo and a Peavy Rage 158 combo. It sounded great but i had to stop using it do to the fact that it was destroying my amps by making them suck air in and not push air out as they are intended to do.

I added this to my pedalboard just in case I wanted to play with a buddy into one amp or I wanted to play through both of my amps.

it will work sorta

You can use this for routing between 2 amps if 1) there is no ground loop potential between your amps and 2) you don't mind having your signal cut in half between both amps or you leave both on all the time and feed the morely with a nice line driver.

Yeah, simple and sturdy. The only thing I miss is a 9V connection for pedal board integration. I use ut since lightyears with no issues!

I am actually not a big fan of this or the whirlwind selector. Splitting your signal with no compensation for the voltage divide is a drag. Makes Y mode pretty useless even on the vastly superior radial passive ABY unless you run both amps ALL THE TIME. I do, actually, but prefer active... or to just bridge 2 amps together like 2 of my voxes.... if you are running a clean amp and a dirty amp its very simple to build the properly grounded A/B box that's on Fulltone's page... or you can order one from loopmaster if you are lazy.
