Detail 01
Head switcher, not a cab switcher
Two amps share one cabinet. It will not split one amp's output across multiple cabs.

Radial EngineeringHeadbone VT Amp Head Switcher for Tube Amps
1/3
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A switcher that runs two tube amp heads into one speaker cabinet, one head at a time. For players gigging or recording with two heads.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Running a clean head and a dirty head into one cab
- Changing heads mid-set without unplugging speaker cables
- Studio A/B of two heads through the same cabinet
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who need both amps sounding at once for wet/dry
- Switching one head between two cabinets; that's the opposite job
- Anyone with a single amp and nothing to switch to
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Built for tube amps
Keeps the idle head connected to a load instead of leaving its output section running open into nothing.
Detail 03
One amp at a time
No blending two heads together. You get head A or head B, and the change is instant.
Detail 04
Switches the guitar side too
Your instrument signal follows the selection, so no separate A/B box is needed in front.
Detail 05
Handles speaker-level signal
It sits between the heads and the cab, not in your effects chain, so pedal-board power won't run it.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Amps, speaker cable and instrument cable are separate; use short, heavy-gauge speaker leads
- 02Both heads must match the cabinet's impedance; this doesn't convert impedance
- 03Switch between songs with strings muted; a hot switch can pop through the cab
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I run both amps at the same time?
No. It sends one head to the cabinet at a time. For two amps together you need two cabinets and a signal splitter instead.
02Can I switch one amp between two cabinets?
No, this works the other direction: two heads into one cab. A speaker-cabinet selector is a different device.
03Is it safe for my tube amp?
That's the point of the tube-amp design — the head that isn't driving the cab stays loaded rather than open. Still avoid switching while the amp is being played hard.
04Will it work with a solid state head?
Yes. Solid state amps tolerate running without a speaker load, so the load-handling matters less, but the switching itself works the same.
