    The Morley stuff doesn't have transformer isolated outputs... you'll need them. Lehle and Radial have really good transformers.

    The Radial stuff is a little cheaper and some models contain Jensen transformers. I have had a problem with my Lehle P-Split II so I can't recommend their stuff, go Radial.

    If your combining any amps at the same time you should be using an active switcher with a buffer. If your only planning on using one at a time a passive one (like the bigshot listed above, although thats only for two) will do the trick.

    You need this to switch between the 3 of them: http://www.loop-master.com/product_i...roducts_id=154
    With that one you can only choose one amp on at a time, you can't combine amps.

    You need this one to choose either one, two, or three amps on in any combination.

    Are you going to use them through the same cab and want to switch heads or are you using one cab per head and just changing which one your guitar signal goes to?

    If you are looking at using all 3 through the same cab, then an A/B switch won't do it. You need something that keeps a load on the amps while they are not "switched" to the cabinet.

    I'm getting a little forgetful in my old age. Sometimes it's funny, sometimes tragic.

    I've had no problems with the Morley ABC.

    I've read that lots of people have problems with the Lynch model not being grounded properly.

    Re: A/B switch? Would this work?

    I have a loopmaster A/B/Y. I use two amps a lot (a Bogner Shiva & Komet 60). I like the idea of running two amps, although if you play out it gets old lugging all the gear around. The way I do it is I use my Bogner for my gai/solos. I use the Komet for cleans and occasionally for solos. I have very similar effects in each amp. The Shiva has a loop so I have a Chorus and delay running into the loop and a TS9 going straight in. The signal from this amp foes to one side of the A/B/Y. The Komet does not have a loop or Reverb so I have a Reverb pedal, Chorus, Delay, overdrive going straight in. From this to the other side of the A/B/Y. From the A/B/Y I go to a wah(so I can use it in either amp) and tuner to guitar. So now I can setup the amp before I switch to it and the same for the others.

    There are many very good A/B/Ypedals out there. Lehle is the best IMHO. In some cases you may need an A/B/Y that has ground loop transformers to eliminate any noise. Some amps work on a different frequency then others and when connected they can cause some buzz or in worse cases bleed from one sdie to the other.
