ABY Pedal with no signal loss?

[Eagle]

I been using a Morley ABY Pro for a couple years now. I can't detect any signal loss or change in tone with it. And it's dead silent when clicking on the footswitch at volume.

Yes that has got the same features, silent switching, isolation transformer etc .

FWIW, I am not a pro and have no pedalboard - I have a floor and 80+ pedals. But $$$ doesn't always mean superiority. I wish it did.

Pedal patch cables - I have bought every premium brand with gold connectors ($18AUS for 1 EBS cable), solderless kits, solder kits etc.

None of them last for mpore than a few months and pedal swaps. At the local supermarket years ago they suddenly had no-name patch cables in bunches of 6 for $20. I bought them out (half-a-dozen bunches) but have never seen them again.

Not one of the cheapo no-name cables has failed, despite being twisted and turned constantly when swapping pedals. There is no point in taking a photo of failed cables, especially since most were thrown away, nor the no name one's, other than to see that they look cheap and nasty!

Maybe if you connect the expenisve ones once only on a set pedalboard, they work.

My Radial ABY has not failed me yet either.

YMMV.

With an ABY pedal it’s nothing to do with cost its features. Silent switching, buffer, phase switching, and ground isolation. Most of the cheaper ones are missing most of those things. You may be lucky and not need them but if you plan on gigging with it you likely will.

Well, Radial is definitely not a "China cheap" brand, imho. There's much worse.
