Ok need an ab switch so I can switch between 2 amps. Tried a home made one and failed. Bought an inexpensive one and no better. Still had bleed through and a lot buzzing. Bought a Radial twin city aby. Has polarity sw
and ground sw. Got rid of noise but I noticed about a 20% loss in volume. Checked all connections and power supply. This thing has built in buffer, maybe that's the problem? Also getting tone loss

Ok nevermind. Forgot there is a drag control on this thing. Turned all the way up and seems to have corrected the problem. "When an active buffer is placed between guit. and amp sometimes they can sound bright or sterile. Drag control counters this effect by reintroducing the load as if connected directly into amp".
