Radial Engineering Headbone VT Tube Guitar Amp Head Switcher

The Radial Headbone VT is an advanced amplifier switching device that allows two different guitar tube 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 direct 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: This Headbone VT is for two valve/tube heads, while the SS is for two solid-state heads and the TS is for tube to solid-state amp head switching.
