What does the Radial Headbone VT Tube Amp Head Switcher Pedal do?

The Radial Headbone VT allows you to safely switch between two different tube amplifier heads, routing them to a single speaker cabinet. This lets you instantly access distinct tones from two amps without re-cabling, making it perfect for live performances or studio work. It ensures your tube amps are always connected to a proper load, protecting them during switching.

How does the Headbone VT protect my tube amplifiers during switching?

The Headbone VT features Radial's "ramping" technology, which ensures a smooth, silent transition between amps. It maintains a constant load on the inactive amplifier's output transformer, preventing damage that can occur when a tube amp runs without a speaker load. This critical safety feature keeps your valuable tube amps protected.

Who is the Radial Headbone VT ideal for?

The Headbone VT is perfect for guitarists who want to use the unique tones of two different tube amp heads with one speaker cabinet. Whether you need a clean amp and a high-gain amp for a gig, or want to experiment with different amp characters in the studio, the Headbone VT provides seamless, safe switching for diverse sonic options.

What are the connectivity options on the Headbone VT?

The Headbone VT offers a 1/4" input for your guitar (either direct or buffered), two 1/4" inputs for your amp heads, and two 1/4" outputs to connect to those same amp heads. Crucially, it has a single 1/4" output for your speaker cabinet, ensuring only one amp is connected at a time. There's also a 1/4" remote input for external control.

Can I control the Headbone VT remotely?

Yes, the Headbone VT includes a 1/4" remote input, allowing you to connect an external footswitch for hands-free switching between your two amplifier heads. This is incredibly useful for live performances, letting you change your amp tone on the fly without needing to reach down to the pedal.
