הקדמה
The Orange Amp Detonator is a buffered ABY switcher pedal designed for electric guitarists who wish to use two amplifiers simultaneously or switch between them without signal degradation or ground hum issues. This active pedal provides transformer-isolated outputs and buffered signals to maintain tonal integrity across complex setups. It addresses common problems associated with passive ABY boxes, offering a robust and transparent solution for advanced amplifier routing.

- Output B Jack: Connect to your second amplifier's input. This output is transformer-isolated.
- 'A - B' Footswitch: Toggles between Output A and Output B.
- 'BOTH' Footswitch: Engages both Output A and Output B simultaneously.
- 'PHASE' Button: Corrects phase discrepancies between amplifiers when using both outputs.
- BUFFERED ABY Indicator: LED light indicating the active output mode (A, B, or BOTH).

סעטאַפּ
Follow these steps to set up your Orange Amp Detonator pedal:
- מאַכט קשר: Connect a 9V DC power supply (center negative) to the DC 9V input jack on the pedal. The pedal can also run on 9V or 12V power for increased headroom.
- גיטאַרע אַרייַנשרייַב: Connect your guitar (or the output of your last effect pedal) to the INPUT jack on the Amp Detonator.
- Ampליפיער קאַנעקשאַנז:
- Connect the OUTPUT A jack to the input of your first ampליפער.
- Connect the OUTPUT B jack to the input of your second ampליפער.
- ערשט טשעק: Ensure all connections are secure and power is supplied to the pedal and ampליפערז.

אַפּערייטינג ינסטראַקשאַנז
די Amp Detonator offers flexible routing options:
- סעלעקטינג Amplifier A or B: Press the 'A - B' footswitch to toggle between sending your signal to Amplifier A or Amplifier B. The BUFFERED ABY indicator will change color to show which output is active (e.g., green for A, red for B).
- Using Both Ampליפערז: Press the 'BOTH' footswitch to send your signal to both Amplifier A and Amplifier B simultaneously. The BUFFERED ABY indicator will typically show a distinct color (e.g., blue) to indicate this mode.
- פאַסע קערעקשאַן: If you experience phase cancellation or a thin sound when using both amplifiers, press the 'PHASE' button. This will invert the phase of one of the outputs (usually Output B) to bring the amplifiers back into phase, resulting in a fuller sound.
- Switching Logic: The pedal remembers the last selected single output (A or B) when you disengage the 'BOTH' mode. For example, if you were on 'A', then engaged 'BOTH', and then disengaged 'BOTH', the pedal will return to 'A'.
מאַכט רעקווירעמענץ
The Orange Amp Detonator requires a 9V DC power supply (center negative). It can also operate with a 12V DC power supply for increased headroom, which may be beneficial for certain setups or to prevent clipping with high-output instruments. The current draw is approximately 12 milliamps, making it highly efficient for battery operation if desired, though a power adapter is recommended for consistent performance.
