Orange Amp Detonator AB Pedal

Professional guitarists have long understood that dual amplifier setups create the ultimate sonic foundation for both stage and studio work. Running two amps simultaneously produces massive walls of sound, while switching between different amplifiers allows players to access distinct tonal characteristics for rhythm and lead parts. However, achieving this setup has traditionally been fraught with technical challenges that compromise the very tone guitarists are trying to enhance.

Standard passive ABY boxes and line selectors significantly degrade your guitar's signal by loading it down, whilst also introducing problematic ground hum through non-isolated outputs. Active ABY pedals that solve these issues are rare and typically bulky, making them impractical for many players' rigs.

The Amp Detonator addresses these limitations as the market's smallest active, fully functional, buffered ABY pedal. Its dual buffered outputs include one featuring a custom-designed isolating transformer, engineered for maximum transparency. Both outputs utilise low-noise, linear buffering circuits that maintain signal clarity across any cable length. Silent switching eliminates those jarring 'thumps' that plague sound engineers and audiences alike.

Additional features include a push-button polarity switch to correct phase issues between amplifiers, maintaining full, fat tone. The tri-colour LED provides clear visual indication of your current switching setting - particularly valuable on dimly lit stages. Uniquely, the Amp Detonator can operate on standard 9V battery power, setting it apart from other active ABY switchers on the market.
