Description

The Fender ABY Footswitch is a compact, reliable routing tool for players who want simple control over their signal path. It lets you switch between two amplifiers or two instruments, or run both at once when you want a fuller sound. Whether you are a guitarist, bassist or keyboard player, it fits neatly on a pedalboard and makes managing live or studio setups straightforward. It is ideal for performers who need quick, quiet changes on stage, and just as useful for home practice where you might want to compare tones, send one signal to a recording interface and another to an amp, or keep two instruments ready without swapping leads.

Built to gigging standards, the ABY Footswitch uses a rugged metal enclosure with smooth, dependable footswitches and clear top panel labelling. The passive circuit is designed to keep your tone uncoloured, with a true hardwire path so your core sound remains intact when the unit is not engaged. Compared with a basic beginner switch, it offers a more robust feel underfoot and cleaner, more consistent switching. Standard 6.35 mm jack sockets integrate easily with existing boards and backline, and the compact footprint leaves room for the pedals you use most.

For UK tuition and school use, the Fender ABY is a practical classroom and rehearsal room tool. Teachers can move quickly between two amps for comparison, or combine outputs to demonstrate layering. Pupils can keep two instruments connected and focus on playing rather than replugging between pieces. At home it is a simple way to practise through an amp and an interface, or to keep an acoustic and an electric ready to go. Offering reliable performance and great value, it is a cost effective addition that expands what your rig can do without complicating your setup.

Features

Flexible A/B/Y routing

Switch between two amplifiers or two instruments, or run both at the same time when you want a bigger sound. The ABY layout gives you immediate, on-floor control over where your signal goes, making it easy to adapt to different songs, rooms and rigs.

Passive, tone-safe operation

The audio path is passive and uses true hardwire bypass so your core tone remains natural and uncoloured when not engaged. This makes the footswitch a trustworthy choice for players who value transparency and consistency across different setups.

Rugged metal construction

A tough metal enclosure and dependable footswitches are built to handle regular rehearsals, classroom work and live gigs. The sturdy build helps the unit stay put on the floor while standing up to everyday use in busy environments.

Pedalboard-friendly design

Compact proportions and standard 6.35 mm jack sockets ensure easy integration with existing pedals and leads. Clear labelling helps you see your routing choice at a glance so you can make confident changes mid performance.
