Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

A one-job footswitch that routes your signal between two paths. For players running two amps, or two instruments into one rig.

Product studyBOSS AB-2 2-Way Selector Pedal

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Switching between a clean amp and a dirty amp mid-set
  • Keeping two guitars plugged in, one amp, no cable swapping
  • Adding hands-free switching to a board without a full loop switcher

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Players who want both amps running at once
  • Anyone needing tuner mute, boost, or channel switching built in
  • Rigs that already have a programmable loop switcher

What matters in use

The specifications, translated

Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.

Detail 01

2-way selector

Sends your signal down one of two paths at a time. It selects, it does not blend.

Detail 02

Footswitch operation

Change paths with your foot mid-phrase. Hands stay on the instrument.

Detail 03

Single-function pedal

Nothing to program and nothing to forget. It does one thing the same way every time.

Detail 04

Under $80

Among the cheaper ways to add switching, well below the cost of a loop switcher.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01No cables included; budget two more patch or instrument cables
  2. 02Two live amps on different outlets can hum; a ground lift may help
  3. 03Only one path is live at a time, so plan your chain around that

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Can I run both amps at the same time?

No. It selects one path at a time. Running two amps together needs a splitter or an A/B/Y box instead.

02Is this the same thing as an A/B/Y?

No. An A/B/Y adds a Y mode that feeds both outputs together. This one switches between two, nothing more.

03Will it work with bass or keyboard?

Yes. It routes signal rather than shaping it, so any instrument-level source works the same way.

04Does it come with cables?

No. For two-amp switching you need three cables total: one in, two out.
