Description
Two solid-state heads, one cabinet, zero compromise. The Radial Headbone SS lets you wire up a pair of solid-state amp heads and switch between them on the fly, so your rhythm and solo tones can each live on their own dedicated amp instead of fighting for space on a single channel. It’s the kind of setup that separates a good backline from a great one.
Under the hood, Headbone SS relies on 100% discrete Class-A circuitry paired with digitally controlled relays, photocells, and load resistors. Step on the footswitch and it doesn’t just flick a switch — it sequences the transfer: mutes the guitar signal, disconnects the outgoing amp from the speaker, drops in a load resistor so that amp never sees an open circuit, reconnects the cabinet to the incoming head, then reopens the guitar signal. All of that happens in a blink, protecting both amps from the damage an unloaded output can cause.
SafeMode is built in as a safety net: lose power and Headbone SS automatically falls back to routing Amp 1 to the cabinet, so your rig stays loaded and predictable even in a worst-case scenario. For board builders who hate long amp and speaker runs, Slingshot remote switching lets you control head selection from a standard footswitch parked on your pedalboard, keeping the actual amp and cable runs short.
You get a choice of buffered or unbuffered (direct) input depending on how you want your front end to behave, plus dedicated 1/4″ jacks for each amp’s input and speaker return. This is the SS variant, built specifically for switching between two solid-state heads — sister models (VT, TS) exist if you’re running tube heads or mixing tube and solid-state.
