First of all, the value of this pedal is priceless. In other words, it is truly amazing but will not break the bank. Donner has created a pedal that operates as an ABY box as well as an AB box. Let me explain further.
An ABY box allows you to take a signal, such as a guitar in my case, and will let you connect to two amps simultaneously. I personally use two Epiphone half stacks, one of them is displayed in the photos, in order to boost my power and have louder amplification. Both amps are only 5 watt tube driven heads with matching 1 12" cabinets. I could never find an amp that sounds so amazing, but one half stack was not loud enough to keep up with a full band at practice. Donner's ABY box allows me to push my guitar signal into 2 amps that happen to be identical which doubles my power and volume.
-Figure 1 shows my guitar connected to an Epiphone Valve Jr. half stack and a Fender Frontman 10g simultaneously with the ABY feature.
The AB box feature is an added bonus. This allows you to take your guitar signal and switch it back and forth between two amps. 1 amp could have just the right clean sound and the other amp could have just the right amount of distortion. Simply click the pedal and switch between the amp of your choice. When the light on the pedal is green, it will push the signal to the amp connected to the "A" position. Click the pedal again and the red light will connect to the "B" position. These positions could be whichever amp you want connected to either output.
-Figure 2 shows the pedal being used as the ABY box pushing equal power to both amps.
-Figure 3 shows the signal switchable between the two amps. When in AB mode you can switch the signal but they cannot be sent at the same time. It's either one amp or the other but your guitar pedals and effects possibilities are unlimited.
Overall Review- As always, the construction is solid. It's all metal and the switch is easy to press yet has a satisfying click every time you tap it. The compact mini pedal design allows me to put a dozen of these Donner pedals on a tiny pedalboard! All the pedals they make are very aesthetically pleasing, in my opinion. The functionality of the ABY box is phenomenal. I paid 3 times as much for a bowtique ABY box that did not have the AB box option. The Donner box is far better in build quality and functionality. Although I've only had this pedal for a couple of days, based on the other 10 Donner pedals that I own, I'm pretty sure this will last the test of time.
Donner has done it again with a fantastic pedal and I look forward to what they come up with next.
