3@1 A/B/C Switcher

The Lehle 3@1 enables players to plug in 3 instruments and route them (A, B, or C) to one amp. All 3 inputs are routed in stereo to both parallel outputs. One output can be utilized for a tuner and the other to the amp. The signal is routed (without semiconductors) directly via gold-plated relays to both outputs. Internal trim potentiometers (for B and C) make it possible to adjust input levels of various instruments to achieve a balanced level to the amp. The Lehle 3@1 can use any power supply between 8 and 20V with either polarity (AC or DC). The supply voltage is internally rectified and stabilized in order to guarantee trouble-free operation. High-intensity LEDs behind a magnifying lens make it easy to read switching state (A, B, or C) even under bright spotlights. All Lehle switchers are totally passive so the great tone you bought your particular tube amp for in the first place will not be compromised. Active switcher boxes (with their resultant change in impedance from high to low) cause an amp's crunch/distorted tone to become fuzzy. Lehle switchers maintain that unique interaction between guitar and amp, as if there is only a high-quality cable in between.
