Radial Engineering Twinline Guitar Effects Router

Vancouver BC - Radial
Engineering Ltd. is pleased to announce the Twinline guitar effects
router, a device that enables a guitarist to share his pedalboard and
effects between two amp heads when using the amplifier's rear-panel
effects-loops.





According to Radial Customer Service Manager Catharina Taylor: "We
have received numerous calls and emails from musicians asking how they
can better manage their pedals when using two amps. Many guitarists
prefer to route their effects pedals through the amplifier effects-loop
as opposed to connecting them in-line in between the guitar and the amp.
This generally produces a better signal-to-noise and eliminates the
problems associated with true-bypass and non-true-bypass pedals. This
however introduces a new problem when using two amplifiers: How do you
share the effects between the two amps? The Radial Twinline is basically
a router that lets you select between the active amplifier head's
effects-loop and automatically switches the effects so that they follow
in tandem. When used with the Radial Headbone, you can toggle heads and
reroute effects in a single foot stomp! "





The Twinline
begins with two effects-loop connections for the two amps, each of which
is equipped with send and receive ¼" jacks along with individual send
and receive level controls plus a polarity reverse to ensure the amps
and pedals are in phase with each other. A third send and receive
effects-loop is then used to connect to the pedalboard using ¼" hi-Z
jacks or balanced lo-Z XLRs for use with studio-grade professional line
level effects. In effort to eliminate hum causing ground loops, the two
amplifier effects-loops are 100% transformer isolated and supplemented
with ground lift switches. Switching between the loops may be performed
using the front panel AB switch or via the optional JR2 remote control.
The JR2 is equipped with two footswitches whereby the first is used to
select the amplifier effects-loop and the second is used to bypass the
effects altogether. Bypassing the effects is done via gold contact
sealed relays for true-bypass signal flow. Using the remote control is
particularly advantageous as it allows the Twinline to be positioned
adjacent to the amplifiers, eliminating a tangled mess of spaghetti!




As with all Radial
products, the Twinline is made in Canada using heavy duty 14 gauge
steel. A recessed front panel creates a protective zone around the knobs
and switches to keep them safe from overly zealous roadies. A full
bottom no-slip pad allows the Twinline to be positioned on the guitar
amp without fear of it sliding off. Powering is done with the included
15VDC power supply.
