Bigshot ABY Bypass

Hello All
Hope someone can help on the following, when i do larger gigs i rig 2 Fender Blues Jnr's together using a Bigshot ABY Bypass, when i play my Fender Tele through it, it sounds Great, however when i use my Gibson Les Paul it dosent sound good, i have tried all kinds of settings on my Amps but it makes no difference, do i need to upgrade to more expensive ABY switch?.
Does the Bypass not like Humbucker Pickups?.

Thanks
Allan

If you read your manual it states in there that the tone will change going through channel "B".

Re: Bigshot ABY Bypass

What do you mean by "it doesn't sound good"? Are you getting noise? The output drop? Does the eq seems off? Can't help you from the info provided so far.

Re: Bigshot ABY Bypass

The Lp sounds dull and lifeless through the Bigshot, yet the tele sonds the same as if i was one a single amp, hope this helps.

Thanks
Allan
