Description

Introducing the Radial Engineering JX44 Air Control Guitar Signal Manager, your ultimate solution for seamless and efficient management of multiple guitars and amplifiers. This device is an essential tool for the modern musician, offering unparalleled flexibility and control over your live and studio setups.

The JX44 Air Control allows for smooth and silent switching between four different instruments and amplifiers, making it a breeze to manage complex live setups. The device also features a Class-A signal path with premium Jensen transformers, ensuring no loss in tone or fidelity.

The front panel boasts large backlit switches for easy navigation even on dark stages. Whether you're looking to switch from a clean combo to a roaring stack or combine four guitars into a single amp, the JX44 Air Control has you covered. It even allows for silent tuning between songs thanks to a bypassed tuner output.

The JX44 Air Control also comes equipped with a master stereo FX loop, which allows for the integration of pedals or rack FX into any amp chain. With optional remote control capabilities using Radial JR-5 footswitches or your favorite 5-pin MIDI switcher, you can control your entire setup right from your pedalboard.

Key Features:

  • Seamless switching between 4 instruments and 4 amplifiers
  • Class-A signal path with premium Jensen transformers for unblemished audio quality
  • Large backlit switches for easy navigation on dark stages
