Orange Amp Detonator Buffered ABY Switcher Pedal Its a well-known fact that running two amps is not only enormous fun, but also a time-honoured way of achieving bigger tones on stage and in the studio. Whether its switching between two different amplifiers for their individual characteristics (rhythm and lead, for example) or using them simultaneously for huge walls of sound, pros have been employing this setup for decades. Achieving this easily, however, has always been a problem for guitar players. Poor quality passive ABY boxes/line selectors load the guitar signal down, degrading the tone and rendering the whole exercise almost pointless. Not to mention ground hum issues caused by non-isolated outputs. On the other hand, active ABY pedals are in short supply and are usually quite cumbersome. Featuring two buffered outputs, one with a custom designed isolating transformer, we are pretty confident that the Amp Detonator is the smallest active, fully functional, buffered ABY pedal on the market. Whats more, its the only active ABY switcher that can be powered by a 9V battery. The transformer output has been meticulously engineered to be as transparent as possible, whilst both outputs are buffered with a low noise, linear circuit. Drive any length of cable to your amps with no loss of clarity and switch silently between them. No more unnerving thumps for you or the sound guy! The Amp Detonator also has a push-button polarity switch to correct common phase issues between amplifiers, keeping the tone fat and full. Finally, the tri-colour LED is a handy feature, especially on dark stages, indicating your current switching setting at a glance. Orange Amp Detonator: Step Forward 1) Input - Connecting a jack plug to the input switches on the power to the pedal. 2) Output A - Buffered output. 3) Output B - Buffered transformer isolated output. Note: Output A must also be in use for Output B to function correctly. 4) A/B Switch - Switches between either Output A or Output B. 5) Both (Y) Switch - Selects both Output A and Output B. Switching OFF reverts back to the last setting of the A/B Switch. 6) Phase Switch- Reverses the phase/polarity of Output B. 7) LED - Indicates the current output selected: Green = Output A. Red = Output B. Blue = Both (Y). 8) 9-12V DC input - Use only a DC adapter with a centre negative plug. Buffered isolated inputs for maintaining upper frequencies in particular when using long cable runs Phase correction switch to address out of phase amps. The Amp Detonator is the only active ABY switch that can be powered by a battery, 9V, or 12V power supply. Featuring silent operation, isolated outputs, phase switch, and individual footswitches all in a compact design.
