ACTIVE A/B/Y
The JHS Pedals Active A/B/Y is a versatile channel-switching pedal, allowing you to route a single instrument signal to two outputs. This pedal can switch between channels A and B, indicated by LED colors, or engage both for simultaneous output. Features include a buffered input, isolated outputs to avoid ground loops, and an output transformer for hum elimination. Its silent switching is achieved through FET transistors and offers a signal polarity reversal switch on the A channel. It's perfect for routing signals to multiple amplifiers, mixers, or interfaces, making it an essential tool for any guitarist. You can use the JHS Pedals Active A/B/Y with other pedals such as overdrive, distortion, delay, and reverb pedals.
What JHS Pedals say about the ACTIVE A/B/Y
The JHS Pedals Active A/B/Y is the perfect solution when you need to send one signal to two outputs with the ability to choose either output (or both) on the fly.
Just plug in your instrument cable (or patch cable) into the input, then use the outputs to send signal to any combination of amplifiers, interfaces, mixing board, or anywhere else you want to send your signal. Once hooked up, use the left footswitch to select between A and B channels. When the LED is red, the A channel is engaged. When the LED is green, the B channel is engaged. Hit the right “Y” footswitch to engage BOTH mono outputs. Because the Active A/B/Y has an output transformer on one of the outputs, there is no need for a ground lift as the transformer eliminates any hum.
The Active A/B/Y has a high impedance buffered input. The outputs are isolated from each other to eliminate ground loops. The transformer isolated output, the A channel (red LED), has a signal polarity reversal switch that can be used in cases where there is signal cancellation. When the side switch is pushed in, the polarity is inverted. The signal polarity reversal switch only applies to the A channel (red LED).
With an output transformer, FET transistors for completely silent switching, the capability to use one or both outputs simultaneously, the JHS Pedals Active A/B/Y will be the one pedal that you can never leave home without!
THIS PEDAL REQUIRES STANDARD 9V DC NEGATIVE POWER, CONSUMES 47MA, AND MEASURES L 4.42” X W 2.38” X H 1.22”
THE ACTIVE A/B/Y IS DESIGNED TO WORK WITH INPUT SIGNALS THAT ARE BELOW 14V INPUT GAIN. ANYTHING ABOVE 14V INPUT GAIN WILL CAUSE THE UNIT TO CLIP.
