Switch among up to four instruments on stage with the Radial JX42 V2 Guitar & Amp Switcher. Not only can this rackmounted unit accommodate four instruments, it can also switch between two amplifiers, allowing you to change your tone on stage with the press of a button, or affording you an entirely mirrored backup system should you blow out your main amp on stage.

As this is a Radial product, you can rest assured that it has been engineered to give you a high-fidelity signal path, one that won't degrade the sound of your instruments or your amplifiers. This is made possible by Class-A circuitry and Jensen output transformers. With its built-in 120/240V power supply, the JX42 will work all over the globe. It can be integrated with a MIDI setup, and is also compatible with select Radial footswitches.

Instantly switch among amplifiers on stage without signal coloration or additional noise. How? Class-A signal buffers preserve the tone of your instruments, with four inputs accessible on either the front or back panel of the JX42. Large backlit on/off switches select the active input, with the ability to have multiple instruments active simultaneously. 

The two amplifier outputs can feed separate amps and switch between the two, or you can use them to create a redundant system with the ability to switch to the backup at the press of a button.

Both outputs are isolated with premium Jensen transformers for exceptional audio quality, and feature ground lift switches to eliminate hum and buzz when connected to multiple amplifiers.

Switching between the two outputs is silent and free of pops or clicks to avoid any disruption to the performance.

The JX42 V2 is compatible with the Radial JR-2 footswitches, which allow you to remotely switch between the amp outputs or mute both as needed.

Inactive inputs feed a pair of always-on tuner outputs, which are buffered and mirrored on the front and back panels.

Remote control over the inputs is available with the optional JR-5 footswitch for hands-free operation, or by using your favorite MIDI controller.
