Exclusive
Drag™ control pickup load correction
Built-in
Power Boost circuit with mid control
Transformer
isolated to eliminate ground loops
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. |

Switchbone
Setup:
Plug your guitar
into the input and two amplifiers into OUT-1 and
OUT-2. The ground lift switch can be set to eliminate
ground loops between the two amps if required and
a 180º polarity reverse switch allows you to
set the amps to be either in or out of phase as
desired. Radial's innovative 'Drag™' control
adjusts to correct the pickup loading so your guitar
can sound exactly like it does plugged straight
into the amp. |
