RADIAL TONEBONE SWITCHBONE.
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.
The Switchbone employs the same Class-A
circuit as the critically acclaimed Radial JD7 Injector for exceptional
audio performance. Our unique Drag™ control provides single-knob load
correction to re-introduce the natural relationship between the amp and
guitar pickup that is invariably lost when the guitar is buffered or
split to drive two amps. To eliminate hum and buzz caused by ground
loops, the Switchbone’s second output is transformer equipped for 100%
isolation. A 180º polarity reverse switch keeps both amps in phase.
Radial's
acclaimed VariBoost™ power booster gives you complete foot-switchable
control over boost gain and mid boost for soloing. The innovative
‘ToggleMode™’ footswitch with large flashing LED's simplifies switching
and eliminates tap dancing. The tuner output is always on for quick
tune-ups and buffered to keep your signal path clean.
- AB-Y switcher – Class-A for exceptional audio
- Noiseless photocell switching between amplifiers
- Exclusive Drag™ control pickup load correction
- Built-in Power Boost circuit with mid control
- Transformer isolated to eliminate ground loops
The
Radial JX-2 Switchbone is an AB-Y box that is designed to allow one
electric guitar to drive two guitar amplifiers without degrading the
signal or adding coloration. All features of the Switchbone have been
optimized for maximum performance and ease of use while eliminating
clutter and unnecessary controls.
Pedalboard users will truly
appreciate the Switchbone’s compact size, rugged construction and
attention to detail, like the recessing of the VariBoost™ gain and
Drag™ controls to prevent accidental 'bumping'. There is a 'MUTE'
switch setting that turns off the signal except to the tuner output for
fast, quiet tune-ups between songs.
Look inside the switchbone
and you will be amazed at all the circuitry actually required to give
the Switchbone it's functionality and make it work as well as it does –
Switchbone is truly an engineering marvel!
