    is there a true bypass a/b switcher out there that i don't have to custom order? I just want one side to go to the tuner and the other to go to my fx chain. also, do switchers need to be powered? i never thought about it before.

    Man, i have a lot of n00b questions for somebody who's actually played bass off and on for the last 10 years. I gues it's just that now i care what my effects and such sound like =0)

    Lehle... expensive, but worth the cost, if I must believe some others.

    The el cheapo DOD A/B box is totally passive...it's not true bypass because there's nothing to bypass, it's just a switch mounted in a stomp box.

    The Morley is good, only needs batteries to power the LEDs. But you don't need them. Leave it on A and B and one side to tuner, other to effects. Worked really well for me and the switch can be had new for $50 or used for about $35. It's called the Morley ABY.

    Yeah, I thought about that after asking here, so I did - and he did. Heluva guy thus far! and he makes neato sparkly boxes =0)
