My bass amp (Hiwatt B60) has two inputs, high and low, that provide different levels of drive to allow clean and overdriven sounds from the single channel amp. Could I buy an A/B/Y box and plug it into both? This would (theoretically) turn the A/B/Y box into a sort of channel switcher, allowing me to get a boost or overdrive without a dedicated pedal.
Before people point this out: I can understand it would probably be cheaper to buy a bass overdrive (e.g. EH Bass Big Muff) and one more cable, rather than an A/B/Y box and two cables. I haven't tried any bass overdrive pedals yet and if the only ones I can afford don't sound as good as my amp does overdriven (to me anyway) this is a potential backup.
