Two heads are better than one!
This guitar amplifier head switcher allows the player to transition between two individual heads, while using the same cabinet. The Radial Tonebone Headbone VT Valve head switcher employs a series of photocells to assure noise-free guitar-to-head switching and a series of high cycle relays that switch between the two heads and the speaker. A digital programmable interrupt controller receives commands from the on-board footswitch or the Slingshot remote switching system and controls the transition between equipment to ensure proper amplifier loads are always maintained.
Here’s what Radial say about theRadial Tonebone Headbone VT Valve head switcher:
The Radial Headbone is an advanced amplifier switching device that allows two different guitar amp heads to be used with a single speaker cabinet. With the Headbone, one head could be used for rhythm while a second head could be used for soloing. With 100% discreet Class-A circuitry and choice of either buffered or un-buffered inputs, the Headbone will be of particular interest for players that demand the utmost in tonal performance.
The Headbone’s internal switching comprises a sequence of relays, photocells, and load resistors, all of which are controlled via a digitally programmed chip. Hit the footswitch and the Headbone toggles the guitar signal from one amp to the other, disconnects the speaker and diverts the signal to a load resister, reconnects the speaker to the second head and turns on the guitar, all in quick succession. The Headbone features SafeMode™ whereby even when power is disconnected; the Headbone will automatically default to ‘head-1 to cabinet’ status, ensuring a constant load on the amplifier.
Headbone comes equipped with Slingshot™, an easy-to-use switching system that uses any standard footswitch to toggle the Headbone’s status remotely, from wherever the footswitch is located. Slingshot lets you keep the amp-to-speaker cables short and efficient and opens up new switching possibilities too.
The Headbone is available in 3 models: The VT for two valve/tube heads, the SS for two solid-state heads and the TS for tube to solid-state amp head switching.
Headbone – another Radial ‘power tool’ for serious guitarists.
