Here’s what Earthquaker Devices say about the Passive ABY Box Utility Pedal:

The EarthQuaker Devices Passive ABY box is the perfect solution if you can’t decide when and where you would like your signal to go. In its most basic form, this passive little box is commonly used to run a single input out to two destinations and lets you choose between using either individually or both at the same time. The most common problem an ABY is used to solve, is one input being sent to out to two amplifiers, but it doesn’t have to stop there!

Because of its completely passive circuitry, Passive ABY can also be used in reverse to choose between two inputs to a single output. Use it to simultaneously run two different instruments to one source input. An oboe and a bass, a keyboard and a harmonica, a lute and a modular synth… you know, whatever! This compact little device has a small footprint, won’t take up much real estate on your board and is built using high quality parts that will withstand years of use and keep going.

Key Features

  • AB/Y Box Pedal

EarthQuaker Devices

Musician Jamie Stillman founded EarthQuaker Devices in 2004 after moving from pedal repair into circuit design. The first full-production release was the Hoof fuzz in 2007. The company develops its pedals in-house in Akron, Ohio, where it hand-builds and hand-tests them and backs them with a lifetime guarantee. Current JustPedals examples show the range’s practical and exploratory sides: Ghost Echo reverb, Data Corrupter harmonizer, Avalanche Run delay and reverb, and Rainbow Machine pitch shifting. EarthQuaker’s own design philosophy pairs usable controls with sounds that can move well beyond conventional effects.

Utility Pedals

Utility pedals solve signal-path tasks rather than imposing one recognisable effect. Buffers restore level and high-frequency response lost through cable capacitance, selectors route between instruments or amplifiers, summing boxes combine paths, and isolators interrupt hum-producing ground loops. Impedance, phase, transformer isolation, active or passive circuitry and switching method determine whether the routing remains quiet and transparent.

Bass

Voiced or equipped to retain low-frequency fundamentals and the higher headroom of a bass signal. Clean blends, crossovers and bass-specific filter ranges can preserve weight and articulation while the effected portion adds harmonics, movement or ambience.
