The Orange Amp Detonator ABY Pedal is a professional active amp switcher designed for guitarists running dual amplifier setups on stage or in the studio.
Unlike passive ABY boxes that can degrade tone and introduce unwanted hum, the Amp Detonator features fully buffered outputs, a custom isolation transformer, and a polarity switch to deliver clean, noise-free switching between two amplifiers — or both simultaneously.
Compact, transparent, and pedalboard-friendly, the Amp Detonator allows players to effortlessly switch between amps for rhythm and lead tones or combine both for massive stereo-style soundscapes, all without compromising tone or signal integrity.
