Description
here at Just Pedals we love this Radial Engineering Tonebone Switchbone amp switcher with boost.
The Radial Tonebone Switchbone is an exceptional AB-Y switcher, allowing you to drive 2 guitar amplifiers at the same time without introducing noise, hum, or coloration and to switch between amplifiers without problems. Employing the class-A circuitry from the acclaimed Radial JD7 Injector it provides exceptional audio performance. The compact pedal has been optimized for maximum, yet simple, performance.
The Switchbone incorporates a simple yet extremely effective power booster with variable gain control and gain boost, mid and gain boost, and mute. The mute turns off the amp outputs while still sending signal to the tuner out.
The innovative Drag Control feature allows the user to re-introduce a load on the pickup, which fools the pickup into thinking it is connected to an amplifier.
Here’s what Radial say about the Radial Tonebone Switchbone:
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.

Amp
An amp pedal, often referred to as an amp simulator pedal or amp modeling pedal, is a type of effects pedal designed to emulate the sound and characteristics of various guitar amplifiers. By using digital or analog processing, these pedals replicate the tonal qualities, gain stages, and tonal response of different types of amplifiers, such as vintage tube amps, high-gain modern amps, or classic solid-state models.
Amp pedals are typically used to shape a guitarist’s tone without needing to rely on multiple physical amplifiers. They offer a range of preset or adjustable sounds that mimic the effects of different amp types, including their distinctive overdrive, distortion, and EQ settings. Some amp pedals also include additional features like cabinet simulations, which mimic the sound of different speaker cabinets, and built-in effects like reverb and delay. This makes them a versatile tool for achieving a variety of tones and sounds, whether in a practice setting, recording studio, or live performance, providing convenience and flexibility in a compact form.

Switcher
A switcher pedal is a versatile tool that allows musicians to control multiple effects or amplifiers from a single unit, making it easier to manage complex signal chains during live performances or studio sessions. Switcher pedals can route the signal to different effects loops, amplifiers, or groups of pedals with just one press of a footswitch, streamlining the setup and reducing the need for constant manual adjustments.
Switcher pedals are often used to switch between different groups of effects, enabling musicians to instantly change their sound without having to step on multiple pedals. Many switchers also offer advanced features like programmable presets, loop switching, and MIDI integration, which allow for even more control and flexibility. Popular brands like Boss, Mooer, and RJM Music make high-quality switcher pedals that are designed to handle the needs of professional musicians, ensuring seamless transitions and smooth, efficient performances.
