SW-21

AB/Y Switcher Signal Routing Box

Thanks for purchasing the Nady SW-21 AB/Y Switcher Signal Routing Box. The SW-21 is a useful compact signal routing box. A/B-Y switching works two ways: (1) it enables routing a common source signal (guitar, bass or key- board) between two amplifiers or amp channels or to both amps simultaneously, and (2) it allows selecting between two source signals (e.g., two different guitars) into the same amplifier or to use both sources simultaneously. Two LEDs indicate whether A, B or Y routing has been

selected. The Y routing combines both the A and B outputs in parallel so, for example, two amplifiers can be driven at once or combines two source signals so that two guitars can be used simultaneously . The SW-21 provides full A/B-Y switching functionality, plus two Parallel in/out jacks.

Connecting source signals and amp inputs in parallel can affect audio levels and might require readjust- ing your volume controls.
