    Looking for a two-guitar A-B switcher pedal. What I need:

    1. An indictor light of some kind to say which input is active. Either light on/off, or two different colors - doesn't matter.
    2. A standard 9v Spot type ac jack.
    3. SMALL footprint (see #4 below). Micropedal?
    4. I DON'T need a second switch to combine A-B, if that adds to its size. If it DOESN'T add to its size, it's fine.

    Oh, and I need to get it in hand within a week.

    Any suggestions? Tnx!

    There's probably something here that meet's all your specs. Their stuff is no-frills, good quality and inexpensive, but a little pedalboard 'effects-loop' pedal I ordered took FOREVER to arrive. I on't know if that's typical or if I caught them at a bad time....

    Looking at these two. Particularly like the second one because all three cables are on one side:

    Lehle is the ticket. It is expensive and maybe not extremely small, but it is reference class quality. I also had a Mooer one and ditched it because of hum issues. I generally like the Mooer pedals, but this one I could not get on with.

    Pulled the trigger on this one. Exactly what I needed. A-B switch on the left, all cables connect to one side. Will mount it vertically with the switch at the bottom (don't need the A+B function) and the cables out to the left. I just hope it's quiet, it's for a pit job.

    I have that exact ABY switch -- it's worked great for many years! I wasn't sure about your "one-week" turn-around need, though, so I figured you'd go for something in the stores ..

    Enjoy!

    Thanks Marc, you've "boosted" my confidence in this switcher. I'll post a pic of my minimalist pedalboard for the show so you will understand what I was looking for. All channel and boost switching with my left foot; wah, chor and vol with my right.

    I like this one because you can change the jewel colors to match your necktie (or socks) :-)

    Problem solved. Radial ABY. Has both phase switch and ISO switch.

    Great for running wet/dry setup.

    True bypass. No battery needed. But had input for plug in power.

    I have one I'll sell for $50. Brand new in box.

    Thanks, but that's hardly a small footprint.

    Ground lift, tuner output, phase switch, A, B, or AB. This thing works great! Read reviews on Amazon:
    Footprint: 3-5/8" X 3-5/8", Passive (no power required), Made In Canada!

    The result: Perfect fit. BUT, the switch is a bit loud mechanically, it's for a music/theater show. Hopefully will be ok. You can see why I wanted the A-B switch on the left (bottom), with all the cables kitty-corner to the left of that.
