The ART COOLSwitchPro A/B-Y Switch with Isolation is a handy foot-operated box that lets you switch an instrument signal (guitar, bass, or keyboard) to either of two amplifiers or amp channels, A or B. The “Y” function sends the input signal to both the A and B outputs in parallel.
The B channel features switch-selectable functions that enhance the basic switching capabilities. The high-quality audio transformer can be activated to isolate input and output signals, reducing the risk of shocks when the amplifiers are at varying potentials. Additionally, the isolation, combined with a ground lift function, can eliminate the hum caused by ground loops. The phase reverse function ensures proper phase alignment between both amplifiers.
The ART COOLSwitchPro is completely passive with true bypass and is housed in a rugged, stable case with industrial-grade footswitches spaced for easy operation. It will provide many years of reliable service, whether on stage or in the studio.
