Fantastic performance…quiet…gets me out to 3 amps. I use it to route to A) guitar B) guitar, and tuner out to bass amp(that output is always on, even if my bass amp isn’t).

The Radial BigShot ABY is a true-bypass ABY switcher that toggles or combines two guitar amplifiers in phase and without hum & buzz caused by ground loops.

And here's something else I'm thinking about... If I buy the complete head minus tubes, it'll be about the same price (maybe a little cheaper) than if I buy the complete chassis without the head box and have one built for it. It would also be the perfect size to turn my EVH212 into a vertical cab and set the head on top. That will work well with my limited floor space. Then I won't have to worry about buying another cab any time soon.

I have an MXR A/B/Y already, but I always use the 2 outs on my tuner to each amp. Of course that way it's just A or A/B and I can only mute one of them by turning on the tuner.

Never tried the tuner out to a third amp...
Dammit, I might need more amps.

Those things look cool, but way too pricey for me, even used.

clean side was 2 blackface Vibro Champs running in stereo off of an old Korg PME-40x modular multifx unit (digital delay, chorus, overdrive, and a graphic eq), and the dirty deed was done dirt cheap with an El Mo, a Wampler Tweed '55/Euphoria stack, and a Carbon Copy into a 1st gen. UK-built Marshall Class 5, sometimes augmented with a stand-alone Fender Reverb Tank.
That was the final iteration before i decided to go ampless.
i was trying to post a pic of that setup, but ...
... if even the file is 'too large' that ought to tell you something, LOL!
NGL, it sounded glorious, that setup did; once it was all connected properly, trouble shot thoroughly before the actual use (but not too much before), and left on and baby sat to make sure nothing changed in the interim.
Too much time and stress for me; in the end i'm 90% of the way to where i want to be sonically with just this:
Like so:
Combining that simple setup with just a couple of guitars (including the .strandberg* Boden Metal 8) and basses, and the ROLI NOISE app on my phone into a Scarlett 2i2 and from there into Logic, i was able to produce this album:
YMMV, ofc.
