This Artec A/B box is a no-frills solution for guitarists needing to quickly switch between amps or guitars.

Don't expect fancy features, but it does exactly what it promises, well.

Product Description

Artec SE-SWB A/B Box, A / B Switch BoxArtec is a relative new star in the sky for effects devices and is distinguished by solid quality and really appealing prices.

The SE-SWB A / B Box (yes they could still work on the name...) is designed in such a way that the user can route both 2 inputs to one output as well as 1 input to 2 outputs. So you get 2 guitars without re-plugging on an amp or a guitar on 2 amps. An LED indicates where you are on the signal path. If you do not need it, the battery can be dispensed with. The design is such that you can even switch boxes with it. Convenient and very cost-effective. With higher volumes when switching between the two amplifiers, a low guitar signal can go through the unused amp.

  • Signal path can be used in both directions
  • 3 Jack sockets: in / out
  • 9V power supply socket
  • Led status display
  • Footswitch
  • Dimensions (WxDxH): 75.5 x 116 x 49 mm
PROS
  • • Simple, robust switching for guitars and amps.
  • • Compact size makes it ideal for cramped pedalboards.
  • • Versatile routing options: two inputs to one, or split one signal.
  • • Excellent value; a basic necessity at a budget-friendly price.
CONS
  • • Name is clunky and uninspired - a marketing oversight.
  • • LED indicator is likely a basic, non-buffered type.
  • • Construction, while solid, is likely all-metal housing with stamped steel.

Frequently Asked Questions

Given the lack of buffering, you might hear a slight 'pop' or experience a minor signal loss, especially with high-gain amps. It’s a tradeoff for the affordability.
While technically possible, it's not ideal. The lack of buffering could impact tone, and it’s really designed for larger signal sources like guitars and amplifiers.
The enclosure is likely sturdy stamped steel, but it's not heavy-duty. Handle with care to avoid bending or damage during transport.
