    Possibly not what you want but I've got a Fender ABY pedal for £18 posted

    I have the Fender one. Does exactly what it says on the tin. Silent operation. No discernible tone loss. Can't see why anyone would spend more really.

    Because it doesn't have ground lift and phase reversal switches, which the far superior Bright Onion unit does - http://www.brightonion.co.uk/active-aby-pedal-with-isolated-second-output/

    True, but the Bright Onion one costs 3x as much - so depends on your budget, other gear, and requirements.

    That Bright Onion one is pretty good value! Thanks for the Fender offer but in the past when I tried the Ehx switchblade which doesn't have a ground lift I had a few issues!

    My world feels like a better place for not knowing what ground lift is.

    I use a mix of snake oil and fish glue from the 50s to get rid of the hum which wasn't there in the first place.
    I heartily recommend it.

    I say fish glue. I obviously mean haddock glue, not the vastly tonally inferior cod glue that they replaced it with in 1952. Heaven forbid...

    Hmm, doesn't know the purpose of "ground lift", and yet, instead of taking the opportunity to learn/find out, feels the need to mock others who do understand what it's for.

    I'll be gentle with you as I'm feeling kind. Read this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_lift

    Thanks very much for the condescension and the kindness. I feel like I've been patted on the head and given an apple.

    There was no mocking of anyone. It's called humour but I appreciate that not everybody has a sense of it.

    Anyway, in case you missed it (or didn't understand it), I'll be gentle back by repeating:

    "My world feels like a better place for not knowing what ground lift is". (Note the lack of the words "so please explain it to me").

    In fairness, in other posts on the forum you have expressed issues with hum etc. so it might be something that is useful in future if you are experimenting with dual amp setups

    That was from a wah pedal power supply. Resolved by changing to a separate one - before binning it entirely!

    I am happily hum-free.
