I have a BigShot ABY pedal with one input, A & B output and tuner. I need something where I can switch both my PSG's to use one amp. Is there a way I can use this switch to do that? Seems like I've read something a while back on how to do this but can't remember......thanks for your help........clark

I have a moer ABY switch where I put my 2 guitars into the AB section and the Y goes to amp, using the pedal reverse.
maybe the radial works the same.

I believe an ABY pedal should work both ways: Two inputs switching to the same output, or one input switching to two outputs. Try it in reverse and see. My Fender ABY works both ways.

If that's the same Bigshot ABY as I have... there seems to be a lot of tone suck on the B channel...probably due to the isolation transformer.

I have a Radial Big Shot. I use it on my pedal board to switch from PSG to Tele. Just reverse it. Most AB/Y pedals work when reversed.

I bought the Big Shot instead of the i/o http://www.tonebone.com/re-bigshot-io.htm

I think the AB/Y is more versatile.
