The ABY Switcher allows you the ability to switch between 2 output or switch them on together.
If your setup is 2 amps, plug your amps into A and B then you can switch the output between the 2 or run them both at the same time.
This is an ABY switch which lets you send your input to either the A or B outputs, or to both simultaneously.
This ABY pedal comes with the added benefits of being active and having the B output going via an isolation transformer. With the pedal being active means that there will be no signal loss when the input signal is split to both outputs, and having output B going via an isolation transformer means there will be no ground hum issues. There are two toggle switches on the rear of the pedal, one that reverses the phase of output B incase there are any phase issues when using both amps, plus a ground lift so everything is covered!
The pedal is powered via the 9v Boss style 2.1mm DC socket (centre negative).

As the old saying goes, you get what you pay for. This pedal is first-class in terms of build, and the addition of a ground lift and even a phase reversal button shows that Loopi understands the challenges that sometimes face the gigging muso. This is not the first Loopi pedal I’ve bought – in fact, I’ve collected a fair few over the years – but it simply reinforces my opinion that, in Queensland’s Loopi Pedals, we have a top-flight designer/manufacturer the equal of any “name” brands.

I’ve been using this for a wet/dry setup for almost 4 years. It’s a first rate active ABY, with the phase inverting and ground lift options making this every bit as good as ABYs from big names like Radial or GigRig.
I currently own and use 5 Loopi devices. Love em all, but this is my favorite. As soon as one is available, I’ll be buying a second Loopi Active ABY for my expanded Wet/Dry/Wet rig..

Nice solid build and feel. Unfortunately suffers from the “loud click when (dis)engaged) issue that affects so many switching pedals, maybe not an issue in a loud band but take that under consideration if you need to do a lot of switching in quiet parts.
