Guitar selector, 4 inputs with AB amp isolated outputs.
Touring guitarists and guitar-techs take note: the Radial Engineering JX44 V2 can handle all your instrument and amplifier switching needs, doing so with all the quality you expect from a Radial Engineering product. The JX44 V2 goes the extra mile, giving you the ability to invert polarity on each channel, easy tools for accommodating remote pedalboards, and an assignable stereo FX loop that can even accommodate wet/dry/wet setups.
All of this is accomplished with silent switching and redundant inputs: should your tech need to make last minute changes on the fly, connections can be made on the rear of the unit, as well as the front. Also on hand is a radial DI feed, ground lift switches on each channel, MIDI routing, and a worldwide power supply so you can traverse the globe with music. Four instruments or wireless receivers can be connected and activated simultaneously.
Inputs and outputs feature large illuminated switches for instant visual feedback, and redundant front-panel input jacks accommodate last-minute changes on the fly.
The JX44 handles complex effects routing with ease, with connections for a local stereo EFX loop, and the ability to assign individual EFX channels to any amplifier for wet/dry/wet setups. Remote pedalboards can also be added without signal loss or degradation using the optional and separately-available SGI-44, giving you control over pedal FX without sacrificing tone, even from 100 feet away.
While the JX44 V2 works on its own as a complete guitar control center, it can also be controlled remotely, with dual inputs for Radial JR-5 remote footswitches to control either guitar or amp switching, and a MIDI 5-pin connection for operation via MIDI controllers and foot pedals.
All inactive inputs automatically feed a buffered tuner output, streamlining instrument handoffs and accommodating for silent tune-ups during a performance.
All switching is silent and immediate, for flawless transitions that enhance the performance without disruption.
Four unbalanced outputs are all isolated with premium Jensen transformers for optimal tone and signal quality, with ground lift and 180-degree polarity reverse switches, ensuring multiamp setups play back without phase issues or ground loop noise, including hum and buzz. Gold contact connectors are used throughout, with Radial's trusted build quality to ensure it survives any touring conditions with ease.
A Radial DI box output is also included for when a direct feed from acoustic instruments to FOH is required, also Jensen-equipped. A lift switch can help to eliminate hum and buzz, and an Assign switch selects whether the Direct Out is fed a pre or post EFX signal, or from instrument input 4 exclusively.
For use on world-touring acts, the JX44 V2 features an internal 120/240V switching power supply with an IEC cable that can easily be swapped out when traveling internationally.
