Description

In the ever-evolving world of guitar gear, the Framptone The 3-Banger Footswitch stands out as a reliable ally for guitarists seeking seamless amp transitions. Designed for both studio and stage applications, this footswitch is engineered to effortlessly switch or combine up to three amplifiers without the usual pitfalls of phase issues or signal degradation. Crafted with durability in mind, its robust build ensures it can withstand the demands of extensive touring.

What truly sets this pedal apart is its high-quality transformer, which expertly isolates ground loops, maintaining pristine signal integrity. The custom buffer circuit enhances your instrument's input, converting it to a low-impedance signal that can be simultaneously fed to multiple amps without losing clarity. With soft touch momentary switches, you can enjoy click-less and noise-free operation, a boon for those precision moments on stage. Additionally, the phase reversal switch is a thoughtful inclusion, enabling you to rectify any out-of-phase amp issues quickly.

Moreover, the 'Last Amp On' feature, complete with intuitive flashing LEDs, provides a clear visual cue of which amp will be activated next—eliminating any guesswork during live performances. Whether you're a seasoned performer or an avid gear enthusiast, the Framptone 3-Banger Footswitch is a versatile tool that provides precision and reliability.

Key Features:

  • High-quality transformer for ground loop exclusion
  • Custom buffer circuit for low-impedance signal conversion
  • Soft touch momentary switches for noise-free operation

"At the moment, everything splits through this Framptone to the three amps and then comes to each of these SGI boxes - radio SGI boxes. This is mostly for the fact that the cable run is so long from here and back to the amps. Although, in an attempt to try and consolidate and compact everything I think I may just end up actually just taking this away and having it at the back of the rack. So it would just have one out from the board which will run from one SGI box to another, and then I'll split that behind the amps. Yeah we've got festivals coming up and all this takes a long time to plug in," says Josh Klinghoffer's guitar tech.

“This is a great, this is something great, which everyone should have,” Robinson’s tech says (23:00) “Mark Snyder, who made the rack, does the Framptone pedals. He makes all the stuff for Peter Frampton. So this is our amp-splitter device. This is the last thing in the rack, and it goes right out to both amps.”

"I use a Framptone 3-Banger to send one signal to the house, one to an Ampeg rig, and another to a Roland JC- 120. Even without the stompbox, there’s still plenty of overdrive going on in the amps. I never use a clean, Dave Matthews Band kind of bass sound—ever."
