Two guitars-one amp
I want to connect two guitars (or electric Kalimba and guitar) to my Yamaha THR amp, not to play simultaneously, but to avoid having to unplug one and plug in the other while playing. Would a small mixer out to the amp be the best option? Not sure if that would harm the amp or if I should get an A/B box of some sort.
Thanks for your assistance.

If you want to adjust EQ differently for each instrument, then a mixer would be the solution. Otherwise an A/B or something like the Radial PZ Pre would be the quick solution.

ab box is your best option. if you don't have one try a y adapter with two female and one male. make sure the unplayed instrument is turned down. not a great solution but will work.
play music!

Thanks for helping out! Do you think this Behringer Micromix would do the job?
I'm concerned about damaging the amp by inputting the incorrect impedance from the mixer. https://www.music-group.com/Categori.../MX400/p/P0390

An A/B box is the best solution. It's simple and there's no additional electronics between your guitar and the amp to suck your tone.
If you go the mixer route then don't forget to mute the guitar that is not being played. This is an easy mistake to make in the heat of a gig and the resultant hum or feedback during a song is not nice.

I use s Korg Pitchblack Plus. It's basically an A/B box with a tuner built in (or vice versa). I don't think they make them anymore but they are easy to track down on the interwebs. They are as accrute as any strobe tuner and the large display is easy to see. Battery life isn't that great but I keep it plugged in anyway so no concerns for me on that.

I use a morely ABY, but most of the time to switch amps, But it works either way.
Radial has one as well, it's twice the money at least of the morely, The morely will buffer out a very teeny slice of your high end, if you're really picky about that, get the radial.
