Reply With Quoteno, but at first I thought it was some fancy brewing temperature/fermentation regulating equipment. Maybe Duhvoodooman or Tung can chime in, but I don't think you have to get too fancy with an A/B switch.

Anyone familiar with this brand?
I've been wanting a Morley A/B switch, and these guys sell something a bit more sophisticated, supposedly higher quality, less tone suck.
Looking for testimonials, suggestions.

I've heard lots of bad things about the Morely and have heard the Whirlwind A/B box is marginally better. If you check on line or read reviews on vendors' sites you can get a feel for what the shortcomings are on each.Originally Posted by Tio Kimo
The HBE box looks pretty cool and has one output isolated with a transformer to prevent ground loops when using two amps. It's pricy though, and I haven't seen one so I don't know how durable it is.
I have a cheapo DOD A/B box and I can attest that ground loops really suckDefinitely, don't get one.

This is exactly what I've heard as well, and why this HBE box is so appealing. I'm looking to pay a fraction of that list price however.I've heard lots of bad things about the Morely and have heard the Whirlwind A/B box is marginally better.

I had an HBE Power Screamer a while back. Pretty good overdrive. The 3-way toggle switch offers several interesting tones. I thought it sounded a lot better with the Burr Brown IC upgrade. I bought mine for $160 (with the Burr Brown IC) so I guess it was a pretty good deal.
