A Pedalboard Classic: The ABY Switch Serving Modern Rigs
The ABY router is one of those discreet yet essential tools that simplify musicians' lives. Historically, it became popular with the rise of multi-amp setups and stages where you need to switch sounds without adjusting settings. In a compact format, it allows quick management of multiple signal destinations while maintaining clean wiring and reliable stage logic.
In a current pedalboard, this type of pedal becomes the "conductor" of routing: it's used to switch between two amps, combine two tonal colors, or reorganize a system depending on the venue (rehearsal, studio, live) without rewiring everything.
Who Is This ABY Router For, and In What Contexts Should It Be Used?
This pedal is suited both for guitarists building their first "dual amp" rig and for stage musicians wanting to secure their setup. In rock, blues, indie, or pop, the ABY is ideal for blending two amp signatures: for example, a clearer and more dynamic amp on one side, and a thicker or more saturated amp on the other. In the studio, it saves valuable time when comparing takes or layering two textures without changing the playing chain.
Its bidirectional function also opens practical uses on the backline side: you can route two amps to one speaker cabinet (depending on your configuration) or centralize sources. And thanks to the dedicated tuner output, tuning remains simple and consistent even when switching the main output.

Questions frequently asked
Can the Nano Switchblade + be used with two amplifiers?
Modes A, B, and A+B allow the signal to be sent to amp A, amp B, or both simultaneously. This configuration notably enables combining a clean sound with a more saturated texture.
Does the Switchblade + operate without power?
The audio path is completely passive and remains functional without batteries or external power supply. The power is only for the indicator light.
How to connect a tuner to this ABY pedal?
A dedicated tuner output is integrated into the routing. It remains independent from outputs A and B. The tuner can thus stay connected during changes in signal destination.
Can this ABY pedal be used bidirectionally?
Bidirectional use allows routing one input to two outputs, or two inputs to one output.
Does the Nano Switchblade + alter the guitar's tone?
Thanks to its passive audio circuit, this model does not include any preamplifier in the signal path. The instrument's dynamics and attack are therefore preserved during routing.
