Mini A/B Switching Box

An A/B pedal is one of the most useful tools you can add to your pedalboard. And with the JHS Mini A/B, you get all that convenience in a tiny format that will squeeze into even the most crowded spaces. This tiny tool is fantastic for switching between two amps, switching between two instruments, or taking your tuner out of your signal chain. You can even leave one output of the Mini A/B unplugged and get a great mute switch function from it. The JHS Mini A/B is quickly finding its way onto a lot of Sweetwater guitarists' boards for good reason.

Switch instruments easily

By Robert S. from Pine, AZ

I use this tiny pedal to unplug my guitars without risking a speaker thump. My amp is plugged into the side with one jack, while my guitar is plugged into the "A" jack (nothing is plugged into "B".) This way if the light is red, I don't pull the guitar plug - if the light shows blue, I am safe to pull.

Although this pedal is advertised to enable switching between two amps or guitars, simply using this box as a safeguard has saved my speakers and ears of my audience many times.

This box is very sturdy and tiny and I would buy it again in second.

Simple A/B switch

By Michael S. from Cincinnati, OH

Makes switching between my Electric and Acoustic/Electric a breeze while on stage.
Would be even better to have the two inputs on the right side, but not an issue.

Very Nice

By Chip from Indiana

Was skeptical b/c of the price, but it is dead silent for me. Switching between 1982 50 watt Marshall JCM 800 head and 90s original Fender Blues Deville 4x10. Give it a try!

A/B

By George from Texas

Works as advertised.
Quiet and effective for my application.

Simple and effective

By Bill from Lawrenceville, GA
Music Background: 45+ years of guitar

This does the job without wasting space. It doesn't hurt that it's inexpensive. Probably the most important thing to me is that it doesn't introduce any noise. So often, when connecting between amps, I get a ground loop buzz. So far, not with this one. I use it between my tube amps and HX Stomp when I'm trying to match a sound. Fantastic.

A/B switch

By Sweetwater Customer from WA

I really like the size. It would be better for me if it had two lights. one next to each inlet/outlet 1/4 inch, but that's just me. I like it!

JHS A/B

By Vernay . from Orlando``

Works as it should. Small footprint great for crowded or small pedalboard. Led glows blue/red to indicate A/B.

Great simple A/B box

By John P. from Chicago
Music Background: Weekend warrior for 35 years.

I needed something it to switch between two guitars quickly at gigs. I needed something small to fit on my pedalboard and also wanted a passive box. This was the perfect solution. I trusted JHS products as I know their quality. After a few months of a busy gigging schedule, this held up perfectly. Switching is seamless, it's a soft click, and I don't notice any signal degradation.

Switch tones

By Jason H. from Arkansas
Music Background: Playing guitar and writing music is my hobby.

This pedal works perfectly to switch between channels on my Fender amp so I can set a lead tone and a rhythm tone. I also use it the other way around to switch between guitars. Highly recommended.

JHS Mini A/B is a Keeper!!

By Sweetwater Customer

I was looking for an a/b box to have 2 guitars hooked up in case of a string breakage. I read all kinds of reviews on different brands but chose the JHS (even though I hadn't really heard of them before) and I'm not disappointed in my decision in the slightest! It works perfectly and silently for my situation. A quality product for sure, worthy of 5 stars!! And- it's made in Kansas City. Also recommend the 1spot power supply to run the LED. A perfect match!!

Does its job

By Gatordome from Southeastern US
Music Background: Long-time amateur

This little box does exactly what it is supposed to do with a minimum of hassle. It works with 2 instruments into one amp or 1 instrument into 2 amps. Hit the switch - channel changes. That's it.

Perfect Tool, well built, silent operation

By Sweetwater Customer
Music Background: All genres

Using this pedal to switch between two different inputs. One path is for my wireless signal and the other is for a cable. 100% satisfied. The LED illuminated red or blue depending on the signal path. Perfect.

JHS AB Switch

By Paul from MN

Needed a quality silent switch which could work in reverse, 2 sources to 1 output. Works great. Perfect for my needs. This switch will do the opposite too if needed, 1 source to 2 outputs.

PERFECT

By Bald P. from Norwalk CT
Music Background: Musician, Recording, Producer

For all of us that use vintage style amps, 2 amps or simply need AB routing, not ABY, this is the perfect solution. High quality, small, sturdy, brit lights and no confusion. A or B. Nothing more and exactly what I needed. Get this, its affordable. Thanks JHS.

Noisy!

By Allen D. from Brooksville, FL

JHS makes some great pedals. This one though, is incredibly noisy. I tried 2 and sent both back.

Great little switcher

By Dave from Hudson Valley NY

I'm using it to switch between two guitars into one pedal board. Does the job.

It works great....BUT!

By Dick M. from Lancaster NY
Music Background: Semi-pro Singer/Songwriter

A/B switches are handy gadgets. This one is especially nice since it's so compact. Here's what I see as the problem....What good does the indicator light do by changing color? If there were TWO lights above their respective jacks, that would be better. Secondly, why have lights at all? Carvin used to make one that has no electronics at all! Just a simple box with I/O jacks and a foot switch. These were great for the solo performer who doesn't need a pedal board. He just needs to switch from one guitar to another. Unfortunately, they stopped making them. For the guys who like the indicator lights, this one is fine BUT....How about making one WITHOUT the electronics at half the price?

Great little A/B box

By Clay from New Haven, CT

Just what I needed; a mini A/B box w/ LED. As you probably know, it functions fine without the LED, but after using it that way for a little bit, I really prefer powering it up to have that foolproof visual of which side I'm running.

Just one tiny little thing...

By RC from Illinois
Music Background: Intermediate

The blue indicator light is about twice as bright as the red indicator light. Too bright in my opinion. They need to balance these out. Perhaps an appropriate resistor added to the "blue" side of the switch.

Solid Product, like every JHS product I have

By Cristian F.

I have 2 of these in my pedalboard, they actually reduce noise somehow; and they're indispensable as a tool (I use them to shorten loop effects and mute when tuning).
I previously used 2 JHS ABYs instead, and found the Mini A/B much more straightforward for my use, and they left me space in the pedalboard.
AND, as always, Sweetwater is the ONLY place to buy from (when I go, there is going to be a Sweetwater location in my personal heaven.

Nice compact and useful switch

By P R. from NC
Music Background: Learner

I guess what can you say about a switch pedal? It does just that, not anything else.

I will say it does what it's supposed to, and it does that very well. It's built very well, does exactly what it's supposed to, switch is nice and easy to depress, With no added noise to my signal chain. It's great to be able to switch between my two amps with just a click now.

Very happy with it :).

Great

By Kevin O.
Music Background: Hobby.

I wanted a product to assist me on recording another instrument to my looping live. It allows me to have both guitar and bass only clicking to switch. Super good quality and great price.

A bit noisey

By Larry from Kentucky
Music Background: A use to be now wanna be

Small size makes a bit unstable on the floor but my issue was using it with my all tube fender twin. It induced too much hum for me and pop when switched. Returned it, got a Boss. As always Sweetwater crew made it easy. Very happy camper.

Great pedal

By Marco N.

Does exactly what it says. Doesn"t colour my tone at all. Thanks Kenny Stratton. You are always amazing and helpful.

Works great

By Ryan R. from Tustin, CA
Music Background: 25+ years

Works as expected. Very simple to use and the clicking noise it makes is very pronounced so you know you've hit the switch.

It works

By Bob from I'm over here
Music Background: Yes please

Its an A/B stompbox. It works. What else is there to say.

August 4, 2017

...

By Sweetwater Customer

Makes a very audible *CLICK* sound that comes through the amp when switching. Wouldn't be a big problem in louder environments,
but switching instruments while playing quieter music the click noise absolutely ruins it.

Awesome with Deluxe Reverb

By Vinyl L. from MA
Music Background: Working stiff

I've been using one of these for 18 months with my deluxe reverb and it is awesome! You can set the volume of the normal channel higher than the vibrato channel and use it for your solos. the extra volume compresses a little more and sounds more ballsy when you hit it. It takes up very little space on the pedal board and aside from needing to tighten up on of the jacks, I've had no problems from it. You will need a double 1/4" guitar cable to do this but they are pretty easy to find. I've probably played 100 gigs with this setup.
