I dont know what I will do with the FSV2, I guess I will sell it on CL.</p> <p> The new AC15C2 sounds really great and I am very happy with it !!!<br /> <a href="http://s968.photobucket.com/albums/ae168/CTguy1955/AC15C2.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s968.photobucket.com/albums/ae168/CTguy1955/AC15C2.jpg</a> </p> http://www.voxamps.com/forum/topic.php?id=5302#post-28304 Wed, 11 Jan 2012 22:21:18 +0000 ctguy1955 28304@http://www.voxamps.com/forum/ <p>I ordered the VFS2 and will never use it. So I would like to take the box and drill some holes and install the right parts so that I can have a AB/Y box with LED's so that when my new Vox AC15C2 shows up in a few days, I can use the ABY to change from regular to top boost channels.<br /> I looked at other DIY sites, and some use transformers and circuit cards, but I just want to do a simple box, with a 9v<br /> battery for the LED lights that show what is what.</p> <p>I just need some help in ordering the parts. I need 2 dpdt foot switches, but will they both be the same, and its just<br /> the wiring that changes to make it work the way I need? and the in jack on the guitar needs to be stereo or something so that when plugged in, the led's come on and unplugged it turns off? </p> <p><a href="http://www.allelectronics.com/make-a-store/item/PB-176/DPDT-MOMENTARY-PUSHBUTTON-SWITCH/1.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.allelectronics.com/make-a-store/item/PB-176/DPDT-MOMENTARY-PUSHBUTTON-SWITCH/1.html</a> site has<br /> most of the stuff I will need, as I dont think Radio Shack will have the parts. I changed my pups in my guitar and so I can follow simple directions and can soldier ok. </p> <p> Thank you for any help with what to get, I appreciate it very much. </p> <p><a href="http://s968.photobucket.com/albums/ae168/CTguy1955/abyvox.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s968.photobucket.com/albums/ae168/CTguy1955/abyvox.jpg</a> </p> http://www.voxamps.com/forum/topic.php?id=2330#post-14022 Tue, 15 Jun 2010 05:44:47 +0000 retrobob 14022@http://www.voxamps.com/forum/ <p>Yes, you can input two guitars, one in the normal and one in the top boost without hurting the amp. </p> http://www.voxamps.com/forum/topic.php?id=2330#post-14020 Tue, 15 Jun 2010 04:20:55 +0000 soma 14020@http://www.voxamps.com/forum/ <p>i've asked this before and was ignored, but i'll try it again here:</p> <p>is it okay to run two different guitars into the Normal channel and Top Boost channel at the same time? will this do any harm to the amp? </p> http://www.voxamps.com/forum/topic.php?id=2330#post-13925 Thu, 10 Jun 2010 20:13:16 +0000 vox_brad_usa 13925@http://www.voxamps.com/forum/ <p>Read here....<br /> <a href="http://www.voxamps.com/forum/topic.php?id=2733&#38;replies=3#post-13924" rel="nofollow">http://www.voxamps.com/forum/topic.php?id=2733&#38;replies=3#post-13924</a></p> <p>You will not get a volume boost. It will give you a gain boost as all preamp tubes are running in parallel. </p> http://www.voxamps.com/forum/topic.php?id=2330#post-13921 Thu, 10 Jun 2010 18:09:15 +0000 losergeek 13921@http://www.voxamps.com/forum/ <p>And if you are running both channels (not just switching between them) does this just provide a more complex/flexible tone, or do you get a volume boost as well? I'm going to test it out tomorrow night at my jamspace, but I'm curious to know how people are using it. Also, another option that I assume will work (and the one that I will be trying) is using both the output and the bypass on a boss (or similar) tuner pedal - you loose the option to completely mute your guitar during tuning, but assuming you don't care, it's another way you can split your signal. I've used it to run through 2 amps at the same time before. </p> http://www.voxamps.com/forum/topic.php?id=2330#post-13917 Thu, 10 Jun 2010 12:17:59 +0000 ryanl 13917@http://www.voxamps.com/forum/ <p>Yes you can use an ABY pedal to toggle between the normal and top boost channels (or run them at the same time and blend them.<br /> I have an ABY on my board that I use to do just that. </p> http://www.voxamps.com/forum/topic.php?id=2330#post-13896 Wed, 09 Jun 2010 17:03:39 +0000 dimitrisk 13896@http://www.voxamps.com/forum/ <p>okay with that, but does this preduct make it possible to have one jack in each channel and switch between the two? </p> http://www.voxamps.com/forum/topic.php?id=2330#post-11927 Fri, 26 Mar 2010 08:13:18 +0000 alotawatts 11927@http://www.voxamps.com/forum/ <p>ABY Box<br /> <a href="http://www.singlecoil.com/docs/aby.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://www.singlecoil.com/docs/aby.pdf</a> </p> http://www.voxamps.com/forum/topic.php?id=2330#post-11642 Tue, 16 Mar 2010 22:44:55 +0000 ncsink 11642@http://www.voxamps.com/forum/ <p>I asked a similar question previously and this was the response from one of the admins:</p> <p>"The only way to do this would be to use a ‘Y’ adapter lead, or an A/B switch box that allows both A &#38; B output to be active simultaneously. This effectively is connecting your guitar to both inputs."</p> <p>Thought you'd like to know. </p> http://www.voxamps.com/forum/topic.php?id=2330#post-11527 Sat, 13 Mar 2010 20:33:29 +0000 lennyg23 11527@http://www.voxamps.com/forum/ <p>Can I use an A-B box and blend the two channels together? </p>
