This universal, ultra-compact 2-channel footswitch is an ideal accessory for stage and studio applications. Use it on gear featuring external control functions such as guitar amps, keyboards, rhythm machines, lighting products and so on. You can easily switch between two input signals into one output or vice versa (e.g. switch between two guitars using one amplifier or two amplifiers with one guitar). Latching/non-latching modes are selectable for both channels:
Non-latch mode momentarily engages the switch while you hold down the pedal
Latch mode changes the On/Off status each time you press the pedal
We’ve relied on relay switching technology for ultra-high impedance and highest signal integrity. There are dedicated LED indicators for precise status control, and you can combine multiple AB200s by using the side-mount interlock. You will need one 9 V battery for operation (not included).
HOW TO USE YOUR AB 200:
The Behringer AB200 is so versatile that there are many ways you can use it, here's just three of the most common examples.
1. One instrument, two amps
Plug your instrument into the IN/OUT 1 input, and each amp into the A1 and B1 connectors. Pressing switch 1 will toggle between each amp. In this instance, the A1 and B1 connectors work as outputs.
2. Two instruments, one amp
Plug each instrument to the A1 and B1 connectors, and the amp input into the IN/OUT 1. Pressing the switch 1 will toggle between the two guitars. In this instance, the A1 and B1 connectors work as inputs, the opposite of example one.
3. Two instruments, two amps
The two AB200 channels are needed in this case. Plug each instrument to the A1 and B1 connectors, and each amp to the A2 and B2 connectors. You must then link the IN/OUT 1 and IN/OUT 2 plugs using a short cable.
Pressing switch 1 toggles between instruments, and pressing switch 2 toggles between two amps. And there you go - you can have no less than four sounds at the drop of a hat!
If you use FX-pedals, just connect them between the IN/OUT 1 and IN/OUT 2.
