The Radial Switchbone JX-2 ABY is a high-performance amp switcher designed to preserve the natural tone and feel of your instrument without adding noise, distortion, or unwanted artifacts. Built around a 100% discrete Class-A signal path, it delivers exceptional audio quality worthy of professional studio and stage environments.
At its core is the same Class-A buffering circuit found in the acclaimed Radial JD7 Injector, ensuring optimal signal integrity. The exclusive Drag™ control allows you to restore the natural pickup-to-amp relationship that is typically lost when using buffered circuits — maintaining authentic feel while enabling cable runs up to 15 meters (50 ft) without added noise.

Smooth, Silent Switching
Three footswitches provide complete control. Select between Amp A or B, combine both amps, or engage the onboard boost. Photocell-based switching eliminates popping sounds — even with high-gain amps. The transformer-isolated second output prevents hum caused by ground loops, while the polarity reverse switch ensures both amps operate in perfect phase alignment.
Built-In Power Booster
The integrated boost circuit includes a variable level control and a 3-position mid boost for added cut when soloing. The boost can also function as a mute switch for silent on-stage tuning. A dedicated tuner output remains active at all times.
The Switchbone JX-2 is widely regarded as one of the most natural-sounding ABY switchers available today.
