It’s a well-known fact that running two amps is not only enormous fun, but
also a time-honoured way of achieving bigger tones on stage and in the studio.
Whether it’s switching between two different amplifiers for their individual
characteristics (rhythm and lead, for example) or using them simultaneously for
huge walls of sound, pros have been employing this setup for decades. Achieving
this easily, however, has always been a problem for guitar players. Poor quality
passive ABY boxes/line selectors load the guitar signal down, degrading the tone
and rendering the whole exercise almost pointless. Not to mention ground hum
issues caused by non-isolated outputs. On the other hand, active ABY pedals are
in short supply and are usually quite cumbersome.
Step forward: The Amp Detonator.
Featuring two buffered outputs, one
with a custom designed isolating transformer, we are pretty confident that the
Amp Detonator is the smallest active, fully functional, buffered ABY pedal on
the market. What’s more, it’s the only active ABY switcher that can be powered
by a 9V battery. The transformer output has been meticulously engineered to be
as transparent as possible, whilst both outputs are buffered with a low noise,
linear circuit. Drive any length of cable to your amps with no loss of clarity
and switch silently between them. No more unnerving ‘thumps’ for you or the
sound guy! The Amp Detonator also has a push-button polarity switch to correct
common phase issues between amplifiers, keeping the tone fat and full. Finally,
the tri-colour LED is a handy feature, especially on dark stages, indicating
your current switching setting at a glance
