Morley ABC Switch

Straightforward switching/selector product. I have to comment: the anonymous reviewer before me is either putting everyone on or is truly dumb. He apparently can't understand that he has purchased a simple routing box and not a guitar effect. His main complaint is that all three channels sound the same. No kidding! IT'S A SWITCHING BOX, BRAINIAC! And it sounds very good--read "clean"--in this capacity.

I run a Giannini Craviola acoustic with Fishman piezo and microphone internal electronics, my trusty Gibson 335, and a Goldtone banjitar thru this box for live performance. Just what I need for fast shifting between instruments as I loop together a multi-instrument performance. Very little noise....the slight click of the footswitches is almost inaudible. I use this with my Bose L1 Model II PA system. Great. The LEDs are a good idea, especially in darker conditions, so that you can see what channel is active and which are not.

Built like the girl in the old Commodores' song: like a brick house. You can stomp on this steel box to your heart's content. I suppose one could mash the switches into submission eventually if one bore down like a maddened ape every time a channel change was needed, but reasonable usage should result in a nearly lifetime endurance for this Morley box.

I don't have any experience in this area, because of the two or three Morley products I own (ie: wah-wah pedal) none has ever failed.

Does the trick for me.

Mine didn't come with a manual. It seems pretty straightforward though. One input, 3 outputs. Hey, I can use the spellcheck button...and I can spell D-E-F-I-N-I-T-E-L-Y without it. This is should be a piece of cake. Like I said...no manual. So I'm guessing "A" was to be some kind of acoustic simulator. "B" a blues overdrive maybe. And "C" a compressor or something. But try as I might..no matter how I switch it, it just sounds the same.

Well, it certainly is transparent. I would have to say that the effects are extremely weak though. I put in a fresh battery. I licked it first just to make sure it was ready. Then it stuck to my braces. Wow! Nice buzz!! Anyway, I got it in there eventually, plugged in. Lights are working as I switch around. A,B,C, Nothing. It sounds the same. Maybe they left something out of mine. Lessly is Morely I presume.

I think I can depend on this pedal to do nothing very well with total true bypass transparency. Built like a skank.

I think they D-E-F-I-N-I-T-E-L-Y need to upgrade this pedal.

I play B.S. R'n'R I like the way you talk I like the way you walk. Even for a sh*tkicker..this pedal really is not what I was hoping it would be. Even if "A" was for Alanis, "B" was for Britney, "C" was for Christina. Nothing. It just sounds the same!

I know this isn't actually an effect, but I think this is a good place to put this since it will sit right there with your effects. This is basically a Two-Button A/B switch, with three inputs/outpusts. Very simple to use pedal that gives more options than other simple A/B switches.

Since there is a passive box, there is little if any effect on the sound. The minimal 'click' during changes is almost inaudible.

Heavy-duty. This looks like a very sturdy pedal, both the box and the switches. There are four screws to remove to replace the 9-volt battery, and it would be nice if it were easier to remove the bottom panel to do this.

N/A

I wanted an A/B switch, which are fairly simple, but I wanted some more options. I have one output going to a tuner, which acts as a bypass with no signal going to either of my amps. The LEDs work great.
