Old Blood Noise Endeavors AB/Y Switcher Basic

Simple, Reliable Signal Routing

Take control of your signal path with the Old Blood Noise Endeavors (OBNE) AB/Y Switcher. Designed as a classic, no-nonsense utility pedal, this passive switcher gives you three mono jacks (A, B, and Y) to easily turn one input into two outputs—or combine two inputs into one output. Whether you want to switch between two different amplifiers, run a dual-amp stereo rig, or select between two different instruments on the fly, the OBNE AB/Y Switcher handles it effortlessly.

Intuitive Dual-Footswitch Control

Navigating your signal routing shouldn't be complicated. The pedal features two heavy-duty footswitches:

• Right Footswitch (A&B): Toggles between sending your signal to both A and B simultaneously, or restricting it to just one.
• Left Footswitch (A or B): When the "Both" function is off, this switch lets you toggle back and forth between channel A or channel B.
• Bright LED indicators provide instant visual feedback so you always know exactly where your signal is going.

Passive Audio Operation

The OBNE AB/Y is a purely passive audio tool—meaning it can pass your instrument signal perfectly without any power supply plugged in. (Note: This is a classic passive design and does not feature active impedance matching or phase correction).

Key Features:

• Bi-Directional Routing: Send one input to two outputs (Y to A/B) or combine two inputs to one output (A/B to Y).
• True Passive Audio: Passes your signal even if you lose power on your pedalboard.
• A/B or Both: Dedicated footswitches allow you to select individual channels or run both simultaneously.
• Clear Visual Feedback: Bright LED indicators show your exact routing status at a glance.

Technical Specifications:

• I/O Connections: 3x 1/4" Mono Jacks (A, B, and Y)
• Circuitry: Passive audio path (No impedance matching or phase correction)
• Power Requirements: Audio passes passively; LEDs require 9V DC Center Negative (2.1mm jack)
