Questions and answers
Why won't the headbone vt work with solid state amplifiers? And what about stereo out solid state amplifiers. Thank you, I'm not well versed in why this wouldn't work. Jon Smyth
The Radial Engineering Tonebone Headbone VT will not work with solid-state amplifiers because it is designed specifically for use with tube amplifiers. Using a solid-state amp with the Headbone VT could damage both the amplifier and the Headbone, and it voids the warranty. Additionally, the Headbone VT is not designed to handle stereo output from solid-state amplifiers, as it only supports switching between two mono tube amp heads connected to a single speaker cabinet.
