The relay units have a dual DIP switch with two positions on
the bottom. The function of this switch is to reduce pops when
switching between different amplifier types. Use the 'TUBE'
position for the corresponding amplifier when using a tube or a
vintage solid-state amplifier. The 'BRIDGED' position is for
bridged mono solid-state amplifiers like Kemper amps, Orange
Micro Terror, BIAS amps, and others. Playing in the 'BRIDGED'
position with a tube amp may result in some pops when
switching, but it won't harm your amplifier. Playing in the 'TUBE'
position with bridged mono amplifiers will make audible issues
and could potentially damage your amplifier. If you are unsure
about the type of your solid-state amplifier, the 'BRIDGED'
position is the safer choice.
Using the Two Amps To Cabinet switching system
It's important to ensure that you have the right cables for your
setup. There are two types of cables commonly used: guitar
cables and speaker cables. It's highly recommended to use
quality shielded guitar cables and proper speaker cables with a
cable thickness of 2x1.5mm² or 2x2.5mm². You can use any
inexpensive mono guitar cable between the footcontroller and
the relay units.
Place the relay unit close to the amplifiers, preferably on top
of them, to prevent long speaker cable runs. Position the
footcontroller on your pedalboard and power it from your power
supply. Connect a shielded guitar cable from the input on the
first amplifier, where you would typically plug your guitar into the
'To input Amp A' jack. Also, connect a speaker cable from the
back of this amplifier, where you would normally connect an
external speaker cabinet, to the 'Speaker Out Amp A' jack. Do
the same for the other amplifier.
It is crucial to connect each amplifier to the same A or B
jacks. Double-check it!
