Description
The MXR M196 A/B Box solves a problem every gigging and recording guitarist eventually runs into: how do you send one signal to multiple destinations without a tangle of cables or a tone-sucking splitter? This simple, roadworthy switcher takes a single input — electric, acoustic, keyboard, or any line-level instrument source — and gives you full command over where it goes.
- Outputs A and B each have their own footswitch, so you can run to one amp, the other, or both at once for stacked stereo rigs and dual-amp setups.
- LED indicators above each footswitch show exactly which output is live, so there’s no guessing mid-set.
- A dedicated Throughput output stays on at all times, independent of the A/B switching — perfect for feeding a tuner silently or splitting off a dry signal to a DAW for re-amping later.
Housed in MXR’s typically rugged enclosure, the M196 is built to survive life on a crowded pedalboard and a busy touring schedule, without the price tag of a boutique switching system. If your board needs a clean way to split, route, or A/B your rig, this box handles it without adding noise or complication to your signal path.
