Features & Specifications

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!
