All of the radial stuff is pretty solid. I haven't used the switch myself but every thing else I've seen was great. The specs make it out to be one of the best commercially available.

I looked at John from Enon 's set up the other day. He uses a Morley George Lynch ABY. I thought it was kinda funny to see the name George Lynch on stage at the Empty Bottle.

I just went for that simple Boss AB2 switch. It's simple, it's got no frills, and it works great. The only thing I don't like about it is that it needs a battery to run, but I can handle remembering to unplug the cord from the input when I'm done.

Not as funny as having a George Lynch ABY switch in the first place. What's the marketing logic here, exactly? "Check me out, when I switch amps, you can totally hear that guy-from-Dokken mojo!!!!" Does anybody think like that?

hehe I always thought George Lynch was the name of famous amp maker or something like that. I had to google search to see who he was. Apparently, he is just some heavy metal guy from Dokken who is already over the hill like jschrock said. I never understood the logic of giving metalliers so much of the signature series market. You would think they would have the least amount of money to spend or maybe I'm wrong evidence to the contrary would be the huge amount of money Walmart makes in flyover land.

Apparently great guitar tone is synonomous with washed-up 80s hairspray guitar virtuosos... or the new era of scuzzy looking rap-metal players:


there's a creepy looking pic of a sculpture of him at his site which I can't image link to for some reason:

yep that's the kind of guy I want endorsed on a pedal I use.

wow he looks cool! i'm gonna buy one!!! so i can be cool too! (not!) haha

yea, i'm not too hip to product endorsements from rock stars either, unless, if it's like a cool, unique item, like the brian may vox pre amp amplifier. it's a prety one of a kind product. bummer, i hear its being discontinued... good thing i got one, now i can be just like brian may! (not)...
