View Full Description"The Headbone is a permanent fixture in my set-up. It is with me on stage and in the studio. It is beautiful!" - Lyle Workman (Beck, Sting, Sheryl Crow)
Safemode™ and Slingshot™
Radial's Safemode™ features in the Headbone so if the worst happens and power is lost, it's not a problem, the guitar input will automatically switch off and your amps stay safe.To connect the Headbone, you will only need three guitar cables and three speaker cables, all of which can be hidden behind the amp out of view. The mess of leads you're used to will disappear with the Slingshot™ feature; it allows remote operation of the unit with any standard footswitch or MIDI controlled contact closure (external footswitch not included with the Headbone). This simultaneously reduces long speaker cables and increases system efficiency, you'll have a serious sonic 'power tool' at your feet.
TS is One of Three Headbone Models
The Headbone is available in 3 models: The featured Headbone TS is for valve/tube to solid-state amplifier switching, the SS is for two solid-state heads and the VT is for two tube/valve amp heads.
