Basic Operation

HAVE YOU READ THE HEAD SWITCHER SAFETY &
WARNING DISCLAIMER ? WELL READ IT AGAIN !!!
Connect a guitar/pedal, the amplifiers, the speaker
cabinet and the footswitch to the HS2 Remote Head
Switcher as described in the Connections section
(above). It is strongly recommended that the switcher
be positioned near the heads and cabinet to minimize
the chance of a cable being accidentally disconnected.
Make sure that ALL connections to and from the HS2
Remote Head Switcher are complete and correct.
ALWAYS apply power to the HS2 Remote Head
Switcher first and verify both the front panel LED and
footswitch LED change color and that you can hear the
relays switching whenever you stomp on the footswitch
(if not, DON'T use the switcher and contact Axess for
support). Now power-up the rest of your gear and let it
rip, simply stomp on the footswitch to switch between
heads !!!

HS2
Head Switcher
•
The HS2 Head Switcher allows instant
switching between two different tube amp
heads and the same speaker cabinet.
•
The head switcher is remote controlled by a
single latching footswitch (included) using a
¼" tip-ring-sleeve cable (for the dual-color
LED to work on the footswitch) or a standard
¼" tip-sleeve cable (for just the green color of
the footswitch LED to work).
•
The footswitch is housed in a .094" thick
black anodized aluminum enclosure (4.40" x
2.40" x 1.30") and along with the dual-color
LED it has a long-lasting, heavy-duty Carling
(the real thing) stomp switch which has a
positive tactile feel.
•
Switching between the two amps is dead
quiet and immediate - no loud clicks, pops or
drop-outs.
•
A proprietary circuit allows only one amp on
at a time, protects the amplifier that is not
selected and protects both amps and the HS2
relays when switching.
•
Proper circuit design and isolation of the
amplifiers ensures no Ground Loop Hum or
Noise, signal/tone coloration or degradation.
•
Powered by a 9VDC Adapter (like those from
Boss) with a 5.5mm/2.1mm barrel connector.
•
Housed in a compact (7.50" x 3.75" x 1.50")
and rugged .064" thick aluminum enclosure
for years of reliable use and performance.
•
Brushed finish with black anodize coating and
laser-engraved printing.
