I'm usuing the DOD 270 to route an acoustic/electric mandolin and a 12-string acousitc guitar with an external Fishman pickup into the same line-out. Did not experience any flaws in quality control, it seems to work as it should. I have not noticed any coloring of my sound. I have had problems with the pedal making a "pop" sound when I switch if I'm running it into a PA or into my Firepod. The sound guy at one open mic complained that I needed to warn him if I was going to switch so that he could mute my channel. I resolved this issue by simply running the line through my tuning pedal AFTER the box- I flip the pedal on (effecitvely muting my signal) and then hit the A/B box. I will note that one feature (it's ONLY feature lol) that I really like about it is that it does not require a battery or A/C adapter, which is one of the main reasons I bought it. The main reason I bought it was the price. I went to a local music store and the only A/B box they had cost $80+, which (note to manufacturers) is absolutely INSANE for an A/B box. I think eventually I'm going to save up for the BBE acoustic pre-amp, as it has 2 channels, an audio expander and a line balance, but there's no way I'll sell this little guy, he's a keeper!

This review is from: DOD AC270 AB Router Pedal

I have had a DOD 270 A/B box for nearly 20 years and it still works perfectly. I recently bought one for convenience in my studio set up. It's the most simple device imaginable, without any unncessary bells or whistles. It doesn't need a power supply unit (or batteries), contrary to some of the info online.

I use it in a live situation for switching my guitar between a tuner and an amp. And in studio, I have two different guitars permanently plugged into the one source (a Pod XT) and switch the opposite way...

Tough as old boots, inexpensive and very useful.

Excellent box...switches with ease and no color to your sound. The thing is an absolute brick - heavy duty, solid. You could throw this thing through your living room wall, pick it up in your bedroom, plug it back in and recommence rocking.
