Plug it in and go. Very intelligent mounting system. Remove the top plate screw it directly to your pedalboard. Much, much nicer than velcro.

Sound Quality : 10
Absolutely the finest ABY I've ever used, including all attempts at homebrew. The output trim pots allow fine-tuning of levels to the two amps. Again, very intelligent design and perfect performance.

Reliability : 10
Seems indestructable.

Haven't had to use it.

I'm still giving it a 10, even with the price being over double the nearest comparable device (have not tried the BadCat, which I'm sure is closer to the Lehle's pricepoint). I use the Dual to switch between/combine my DC-30 and a custom Leslie and it has enabled me to realize this elusive sound (those of you who know the horrors of tone loss when combining amps will know what I mean). Simply the best I've used. Period.

This unit is great. It's built super heavy duty. It's a nice size and height. It's got two very bright lights, and three very large switches all a decent bit a part. This is important with my big size 12's. My favorite part is it has three buttons, first for A, second for AB, and the third for B. Which means when I get overzealous and go from A to B I don't go from A to B and then back to A. I only wish that hitting the ABY twice muted it. That would be great. It also has two inset volume pots so you can set the level up or down for A and B.

It doesn't take batteries, AC only. HOWEVER this will accept ANY adapter voltage from 8-20! No need to worry about positive and negative either, it will work with either!

I was looking for a good ABY box for my Bad Cat. I had tried both a Bad Cat ABY and a Morley. The Bad Cat sounded good but I did not like the functionality. The Morley just sounded plan horrible. Tone wise, I can hear no degradation of tone when using it. No pops, no clicks, no delays, no hum, just ABY goodness!

Reliability : 9
Very strong, on their web site they show it getting run over with a car... but I read another review that said that he got his broken.

Customer Support : No Opinion
Never dealt with them.

Overall Rating : 10
I'm very happy. I'm very glad I didn't go with the Framptone. I'm thinking about one of their 1@3's now.

Very easy to use. Just plug and play. It doesn't take batteries, so you'll need a 9v adaptor.

Sound Quality : 9
This is the best A/B switcher I've found by far. No pops when you switch from one amp to the next, and there is no drop off in levels either.

Reliability : 9
I've only had this for a month so I'm not sure how reliable it is. However, judging by the looks, I'd say it's a pretty sturdy device.

Customer Support : No Opinion
Haven't had to use it.

Overall Rating : 9
The only reason why I would give this switcher a 9 is because it hasn't been truly tested yet. But I recommend this switcher to anyone who wants a clean and transparent transition from one amp to another. I use this to go from a Roland JC-120 for my clean tones with effects, to my Mesa/Boogie Recto-Verb for my dirty/cruchier sounds. If it were stolen I would defintely run out to the Mesa/Boogie store in Hollywood and pick up another one. It's the only switcher they carry.
