ABY Box/Pedal

DanR

Im after one of these to make life a bit easier.

Is there much difference between them all?

I've looke at an Orange one at £119 and fender ones at £25.

Do I need to make sure it's buffered and isolated or does it honestly make no difference.

Isolated will cure ground loops but I don't think you can predict if you'll suffer with your particular setup. And that might change in a different venue.

Have a look at the Bright Onion isolated one, it seems very reasonably priced (not much more than the Fender, which I suspect is just jacks and switches inside that box, and a couple of resistors for the LEDs).

Another shout for the Bright Onion loopers. They're a bit more expensive than the Fender one, but you'll be able to reverse the phase of the second output and the ground lift in case of noise. Both features may not entirely be necessary but it's better to have the option there of using them if need be.

Probably pretty similar functionally, the Orange one's prettier, the Bright Onion one quite a lot cheaper

Radial Big Shot....or Ry Cooder's Little Green Man which I'd like but I don't think he'd build me one - http://rycooder.nl/pages/ry_cooder_Instruments_gear_amps_effects.htm (actual his is just a Y -box but still )

That's not a realistic comparison, you're comparing onions to oranges.
