Radial Tonebone Headbone VT Amplifier Head Switcher

zZounds Gear Experts Say...
Access two amp heads with a single speaker cabinet. Simply hit the footswitch and quickly go from one amp to the other.

With the Headbone in your rig, you can access your choice of amplifier with a single footswitch, giving you the ability to easily select between one amplifier for rhythm and another one for solos. To eliminate long cables running across the stage, you can switch the Headbone remotely with a Slingshot input that allows you to connect any standard footswitch or MIDI controlled contact closure, further streamlining your setup on stage. For the ultimate amp-switching rig you can combine the Headbone with the Tonebone Twinline, which will allow you to switch your effects loop at the same time, so your effects pedals follow the active amplifier.

I had the same experience as the previous reviewer. Guess what. Push the recessed GROUND LIFT switch and the squeal GOES AWAY! My only complaint is it only allows A or B, not A + B, but that would probably cause an impedance mismatch. Don't forget to buy extra cables.
