Really useful
It works really well in almost all scenarios, for example:
- if a guitar is connected in Y and it is outputting to A and B, it can output to either by changing with the foot switch or
- if you set the toggle to A&B in the above scenario, it splits the signal and sends it to both simultaneously;
- if you add two guitars in A and B and output to Y using the A/B toggle, you select with the footswitch and it works great.
- However, if you select A&B, it only outputs A normally, B is so weak that you have to turn up the volume to hear it. In my case, B is a guitar with humbuckers with a larger output than A, so I should be able to hear it. 4/5 stars in features for this.
Another useful feature is that you can use the pedal foot switch without power because it will still change between A and B; I guess you need the power to see the light in a dark setting.
Hopefully this will help others, since the manual is only one page, half being a photo and most of the other half is blank. Otherwise, it feels really sturdy and I don't feel any added noise or loud clicking of the switch. At this price, I'm very happy with it.

useful and affordable
simple, doing it's job. I use it to connect guitar to 2 amps simultaneously and enjoy "big" sound, but it can be used for other functions as well.
there is one thing that is not exactly as listed in specifications. there should be red LED light when only A selected, green for only B selected, and yellow for A+B, but in reality with A+B there is no yellow light at all, only green light with small, hardly visibe dot of red light at the same time. no big deal, but it shouldn't be specified that way.
of course, pedal can work without power. when A+B option is used, footswitch and LED light have no purpose anyway.

Can't feel the need to pay more
It works, and if it works it works.
You get what you bought. A solid ABY to place in your pedalboard. Either to connect it to 2 amps or to select between 2 guitars.
I guess you can use it for other instruments or applications as well.
The star missing in quality is for the loud noise when pressing. Not the pop in the sound as that is to be expected in most ABY connections. But since it's all mechanical and has nothing to buffer the impact of metal on metal, there is a somewhat audible noite when pressing on it.

Value for money
Looks like a copy of another ABY box which costs twice as much. Recommended for those on a tight budget.

Misunderstood features and returned it
I needed a cheap ABY pedal to be able to select out of 2 options: 1. A&B / 2. B. It seems that when you switch to A&B the foot switch does nothing and only the option A&B works. The foot switch only works between A or B, when the switch is set to A red (and not A&B yellow). Other than that it felt pretty ok, but not what I needed.

Does the job for cheap
Considering the price a very decent unit, does the switching which it needs to do :)

noisy
The jack from the cable (regardless which cable) was keep on coming slightly out of the input/output, which causes noise. It has some insulation issues as well. Bad quality and unusable for me in this way.

It does the job, nothing fancy needed.

Why pay more?
Does what it says on the tin. In the gig accessory box just in case. The two inputs are quite close together, not enough room for two radio receivers.
