So I am getting a synth to do some basslines etc, and want to run it through my chain with minimum fiddling. I'm thinking about grabbing 2 aby boxes, one for the front to switch between guitar and synth, and another to go between the pedals and my rc5 looper, to switch between one input for guitar, and the other input to get the synth into my bass rig.

Is this an appropriate solution?

My chain is about 10 pedals, no tuner. Should I get one w a buffer? Doesn't matter?

Any ABY reccs would be appreciated, on a budget.

If you have another idea, I'm all ears (:

Edit: also it is worth noting, or stating, that I'd rather not have to power these, as there is only one port left on my psu, but if the active boxes are way better, I guess I would not mind. I'm not too familiar with ABYs obviously, but I know they're fairly simple circuits...do they add any noise? Thanks for reading!
