Frequently Asked Questions - Headbone VT Radial Engineering
What is the Radial Headbone VT used for?
The Headbone VT is a guitar head switcher that allows you to safely switch between two guitar amplifier heads while using a single speaker cabinet, or to use a head with a load box for silent recording.
Can I use the Headbone VT with any guitar amp?
Yes, the Headbone VT is designed to work with most guitar amplifier heads, but ensure your amp's power rating does not exceed the unit's specifications (typically up to 100W).
Does the Headbone VT require a power supply?
It can be powered via standard 48V phantom power from an XLR connection, or optionally via an external 9V DC power supply (not included).
How do I reduce noise when switching?
Use the Ground Lift switch to eliminate ground loops. Also ensure all connections are tight and cables are of good quality.
Can I record silently with the Headbone VT?
Yes, the built-in reactive load allows silent operation by simulating a speaker load. Use the XLR output with speaker emulation for direct recording.
Is the Headbone VT footswitchable?
Yes, it includes a remote footswitch for hands-free switching between heads or modes. The footswitch is included with the unit.
What is the maximum power handling?
The Headbone VT can handle up to 100W RMS from a guitar amplifier head. Exceeding this may damage the unit.
How do I connect the Headbone VT?
Connect your guitar to the input, then connect each amp head to the two amp outputs. Connect the cabinet to the speaker output. Use the XLR out for line-level signal.
Does the Headbone VT color the tone?
The unit is designed to be transparent when used with a speaker load. The speaker emulation adds a slight color, but it can be bypassed.
What is the warranty on the Headbone VT?
Radial Engineering offers a 3-year limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Register your product online for coverage.
