Re: Fulltone True-Path ABY
i get that you like the switchable buffer thing and the idea of an all passive or true bypass signal path so i understand the attraction to the fulltone device, but i can definitely recommend the radial. It does exactly what is needed with no signal degradation or ground noise.

Re: Fulltone True-Path ABY
I'm sure it does since they seem to get good reviews, both the passive Big Shot and the active Twin Cities. So I guess my followup question to you would be whether you have also tried the Fulltone.

Re: Fulltone True-Path ABY
no, ive never tried the fulltone, only the active twin city unit. Also a passive unit from morley which was pretty useless.

The Morley is TERRIBLE.

Most of the cheap passives are all pretty much the same I think. All crap.

Re: Fulltone True-Path ABY
The Morley is not passive; it uses 2x9V batteries; but it may, in fact, work both ways. Not sure...

Re: Fulltone True-Path ABY
There are two Morley ABY's. The cheaper one is passive, the battery only lights the LED's. The other model is active, it has some internal op-amps and adjustable gain for each channel.

Re: Fulltone True-Path ABY
I've got a Morley ABY but don't recall it taking batteries. Have to check when I get home. While it does have a noticeable amount of cut when you plug in a second cable, I find it isn't so much an issue if you always run two cables out to two targets (rack, amp, etc), and you've got a Dunlop High-Gain volume pedal in front of it.
But then since moving to a Switchblade 8, the ABY gathers dust. It just does so much more for me than a single pedal could.

Interesting info on the Morley. I still greatly prefer the Radial, however.

With my Jubilee (and several clean amps) the passive Morley seemed to suck less tone than the passive Radial A/B/Y. The active JX2 Switchbone OTOH killed both of them in terms of both tone and features.
