Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Headlight puts one guitar signal in command of up to four amplifiers from a compact pedalboard-format selector. Its sequential footswitch advances through the connected outputs, so the switching workflow follows the number of amps in use. Status LEDs make the active output visible on a busy stage. A Class-A input buffer and Drag Control are part of the signal path, while transformer isolation, ground lifts, and polarity reversal provide tools for managing multi-amp routing. The secondary footswitch can mute the amp outputs for tuning or engage every output together.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Pedalboard-based guitar rigs that need footswitch selection among one, two, three, or four amplifiers.
- Stage setups where visible confirmation of the selected amplifier output matters.
- Multi-amplifier routing that needs ground lifts, polarity reversal, and isolated outputs.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Rigs requiring selection among more than four amplifiers.
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
Three transformer-isolated outputs
Three output paths use transformer isolation to address hum and buzz from ground loops.
Detail 03
Ground-lift switch on each output
Each amplifier output can be adjusted individually when reducing noise.
Detail 04
180-degree polarity-reverse switches
These switches let connected amplifiers be set in phase as needed.
Detail 05
Standard 9V power
It is designed to integrate with a pedalboard power brick.
Detail 06
14-gauge steel construction
The enclosure uses 14-gauge steel throughout.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Plan for a standard 9V supply when adding the Headlight to a pedalboard.
- 02Use the available ground-lift and polarity-reverse controls as needed for the connected amplifiers.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How many amplifiers can the Headlight control?
It works with one, two, three, or four connected amplifiers.
02How does amplifier selection work?
Each press of the sequential footswitch moves to the next connected output.
03Can it mute the amplifiers for tuning?
Yes. Its mute footswitch can turn off the amplifier outputs while leaving the dedicated tuner output active.
04Can all amplifiers be active together?
Yes. The mute footswitch can instead be used as an all-on switch.
