Try this out. Looks very good and reasonable price. I've ordered an AB and will get a stereo box to do a piezo and magnetic split...

Here's a stupid question, but.....

Does it matter if you use shielded(instrument) or unshielded(speaker)cable going from the A/B box to the amps input?

I'm wondering if maybe that's the cause of the hum/squeal????

Yes, you want shielded.

However, it might help to eliminate the hum if you disconnect the sheild at one end, so it's only grounded to one piece of equipment vice two. I don't know if that'll work in this situation, but I know it helps with eliminating ground-loop problems inside of a rack.

Alright Sir!!!

Mr Burkweiser is hooking me up with his GCX switcher unit, so hopefully all problems will be solved. But I still have a Morley A/B/Y box that I might wanna use sometime....or atleast be confident that there isn't a problem with it in case I wanna trade or sell it down the road.


Oh....and I was using shielded.....Thanks!

Yep! That is the best way to do it, but it is a little pricey.

I've been thinking about getting a good ABY box, too. I am interested in the Tonebone JX-2, but this guy makes a variety of ABY boxes at decent prices that are supposed to be good as well:
