Use the Minimal AB Box to control the direction of your signal path in order to select amps, mute your signal, control what effects you’d like to use, and various other uses.
The AB Box has one input and two outputs. Plug your guitar into the input and then run out from the A and B outputs to your desired destination.
Use the Minimal AB Box as a Mute/Tuner switch. Connect your tuner to one of the two outputs and you'll take your tuner out of your signal chain when you are playing. Even without a tuner connected to the AB Box it can act as a basic mute switch.
The Minimal AB Box can also be used as an input selector. For example if you regularly switch guitars while playing live, plug two guitars into the two outputs and run from the input to your amp. That being said the inputs and outputs can be used in both directions.
When the switch is pressed in the outputs will be toggled and also the red and blue LEDs will indicate which output is currently being used. The Minimal AB Box can also be used without a power supply however; the LEDs will not be active.
In Use
The AB Box works similar to most AB Boxes, however the One Control AB Box has a few unique features. For example, the AB Box can also be used as an input selector. If a guitarist regularly uses two guitars while playing live, both guitars can be connected to the AB box and toggled between the two by pressing down on the switch.
Of course the AB Box works just like other AB Boxes as well. So if you are in need of a high quality AB Box that is durable and low noise, the One Control AB Box is a great choice.

Did not work as an a/b switch as advertised. Bought this because of the good reviews, and the potential to use the loop. Unfortunately when using as an a/b the signal bled through making it impossible to play through one amp. This was my first purchase of a One Control product, won't be trying another.

Bought 2 of these and one of them just started popping and cutting out after less than a year. Functionality is great otherwise, just wanted to note that I did get a bad one, going to replace it with something a step up in price I think.

Already have one of these, but neede another one for my guitar board.Does exactly what I needed it to do. I run a wireless system (Line6 G30/50), and some venues won't allow the wireless to run properly (even trying to scan all channels), so having this inline between the reciever and my first pedal in my chain (TC Electronics Polytune3) is a life saver when the wireless doesn't want to work, just plug in my backup cable into the open line and go. I flip it so I can have 2 inputs going to 1 output (read up on it, it really is awesome).Well built, nothing too fancy, LED's are great although the blue LED is blindingly bright (knocked it down using a transparent stick on circle "bumper" over that particular LED. Might need a better connector for the 9V, but can work passively, so it's not a deal breaker at all.For something so simple, and the price it s no brainer...you don't need a screen, or a knob(s) unless your using it for 2 guitars into on amp, or even 2 pedalboards into 1 amp...it just flat-out works.

I just received this two days ago and have been playing with it for a bit.I cannot imagine a better AB box made for any price. It is just an AB switch---nothing else.It is dead silent.....no popping when switching to my other amp. No coloring of tone.It is tiny but it is solidly built. I was surprised at it's weight when I first picked it up.Takes no space on my pedal board and it is an easy hook up with nice brightlights to let me know what amp is connected.I am using power from my pedal board keeping the wires etc. out of the way.This is a great little (tiny) AB switch.

Great pedal! Does what it's suppose to with no fuss and no noise when I switch between channels. Best of all it saves space on my pedal board and doesn't color my sound.

Small size, solid build, does what it is supposed to at a fair price. I've tried a few A/B boxes, and this equals or exceeds in quality, is the smallest I've found, and is one of the least expensive.Just remember, if switching amps, you will still need to deal with the ground loop. A true "amp switcher" will either be active (expensive), or send your signal through an isolation transformer (tone suck). The easiest way to deal with that is to use the Ebtech Hum-X on one of the amps. This will solve your grounding issue safely, and without effecting your tone.
