Re: Selector pedal for amp room
That is very important and you also need speaker cable, not instrument cable.robthemac wrote: ↑Wed Jun 22, 2022 10:42 amWouldn't you need to ensure that every amp is seeing some impedance, regardless of where the switch is?

Re: Selector pedal for amp room
Yep you’re right. This is what radials headbone does for two amps to a single cab.robthemac wrote: ↑Wed Jun 22, 2022 10:42 amWouldn't you need to ensure that every amp is seeing some impedance, regardless of where the switch is?

They keep telling me tone is in the fingers, but I have yet to see a "look at my fingers" thread.

This looks like it would work for that application. This bit is important “As a precaution, the unused amps see a load.”Conway wrote: ↑Wed Jun 22, 2022 10:22 am Not a pedal, but I use one of these for multiple heads into multiple cabs.

Not an issue if you switch the amp off before you go to the next. ?

Yep. I had one of those and flicked it when I upgraded to the rack unit last year.

Re: Selector pedal for amp room
Yup mine is just a patchbay I made from Jaycar heavy duty DPDT switches. It switches 4 amps into 2 outputs. Here’s the schematic if it’s of any help.
The unused amps need to be switched off, this just saves me time swapping speaker leads.
