Hello. I am in need of an inexpensive method to connect two guitars
into a single chanel practise amp.

My guitar teacher has only one amp at the moment as he is an overseas
visitor and doesnt intend to buy another one.

I've got a practise amp but it's a pia to cart around so I'm hoping
there's a way we combine both guitars into the amp without loading up
eachothers pickups and having affect on our tones.Hence the $3 dollar
Y splitters are no good.

I've heard of the AB and ABY boxes, but they all seem to advertise the
fact they can do ONE guitar into TWO amps and not TWO guitars into one
amp. Well not in a combined A+B feed.

If you can find one that will select both outputs at once, all you need
do is turn it around backwards...

...but you really need to get a more suitable amp.
