Radial Tonebone Switchbone AB-Y Guitar Amp Switcher
The ultimate AB-Y guitar amp switcher! Switchbone is a creative tool that is designed to allow your guitar to drive and control two amplifiers without introducing noise, distortion, clicks or pops. Most importantly, the Switchbone will retain the natural sound and feel of your instrument.
Combining two amplifiers is now easy and fi nally HUM-FREE! The Switchbone is an AB-Y box that has been developed to solve the many problems associated with driving two guitar amplifi ers without introducing noise, hum or coloration.
The Switchbone is in fact, a distribution amplifi er that has been optimized for guitars to transfer the natural tone and feel of the instrument to the amplifi ers. Unlike passive AB-Y boxes that introduce switch noise and divide the guitar signal in two, the Switchbone employs noiseless opto-coupler switching and the same highly acclaimed, Class-A circuit found in the Radial JD7 Injector with 100% discreet components (no op-amps). Our unique Drag™ Control load correction circuitry lets you dial-in the perfect guitar-to-amp relationship that is otherwise lost when buffering the signal to drive two amps.
To eliminate hum caused by ground loops, the output for amp-B is transformer-isolated. Our unique Toggle Mode™ footswitch and LED system provides clear visual feedback of amp selection without confusion or tap-dancing! To enhance performance, a power boost circuit adds extra kick for solos. Vari-Boost™ may be set to GAIN for an overall level boost, MID ONLY for a boost that cuts through the mix or both at once. Vari-Boost can also be set to mute for silent tuning through the Switchbone’s tuner output.
