Radial Engineering Tonebone JX-2 Pro Switchbone

"This pedal I used to use as my splitter. It's a great pedal. It does a lot of things. But I used to use it as a splitter when we had only two amps. It has such a warm boost that I have in there now just for the boost so that when we use that, which is something we kick on very often, it's not like a lot of other boost pedals that add a lot of top end to them. This keeps kind of a transparent sound," explains Dan Auerbach's guitar tech about the Tonebone Switchbone JX-2 Pro.

00:49, at 2010 Tour in Russia. Full routing ============ * Boss Chromatic Tuner, * T-Rex Luxury Drive booster then the signal goes to the pedalboard, apparently to Overdrives/distortions: * Ibanez Tube Screamer TS808, * Digitech Bad Monkey Tube Overdrive, * T-Rex Møller. Chorus/Phasers/Flangers: * T-Rex Twister Chorus & Flange above Reverbs/Delays: * Boss FRV-1 '63 Fender Reverb by his side, * Boss Digital Reverb RV-5 below, * Electro Harmonix Holy Grail reverb by his side, * Line6 DL-4 Delay Modeler outside the pedalboard. Amp switcher: * Tonebone Radial JX-2 Switchbone AB amp switcher + booster. As he seems to select which amp he goes to (there's the both option too; maybe he just uses it as a final boost for both amps), I imagine he doesn't use the effects loop of the amps, or maybe the reverb/delays part goes through the effects loop of only one of the amps? After going crazy I found this great work by a japanese that saved me from searching the Holy Grail (don't think I'd had identified it) and the Delay: http://garymoore.blog.fc2.com/blog-category-25.html

On Radial's website, Townsend was mentioned as user of Radial Switchbone.

"I run both of the heads into a Radial Tonebone Switchbone and that allows me to plug both heads into one cabinet."

At 3:24 The Radial Tonebone can be seen in the bottom left.

As spotted on his pedalboard, Doyle Bramhall II is using this effect.

> The Radial Switchbone is a fantastic addition to my rig. It allows me to run my two favorite amps at the same time without compromising my tone. The mid boost is the coolest feature. I turn it on when I need a lead to sing and sustain without thinning out my sound. If only I had this pedal 20 years earlier!

This image comes from an article from [*Austin City Limits*](http://acltv.com/tag/gear/) where they outline some of Jeff's gear. You can see a Radial Switchbone on top of his [Vox AC30](https://equipboard.com/items/vox-ac30-guitar-combo-amp?src=pim_name).

"The Radial Switchbone sounds great! It is the best ABY box that I have used and the transformer isolation makes it easy to combine any two amps without noise." - Holdsworth about Radial Switchbone.

"I love this pedal. It can separate the sound into different amps, as well as polarity and ground lift can come in handy," Drew says, about his Switchbone, at 2:00.

At 4:53, you can see the Tonebone Switchbone on Seth's pedalboard. He uses it to switch between amps.

A JX-2 can be seen on the top left of Tilleys pedalboard.

"The main thing I love about the Switchbone is it's full of great features, and it's totally easy to use at the same time. That's because all the things it does are innovative, sensible and most of all, really useful. It's on my live pedalboard on every tour I do and has been for years. " - Freed about Radial Switchbone

> For me, the key to a great pedal is its ability to be transparent when not engaged. The 'Switchbone' gives my rig plenty of options when called upon, but also stays out of the way when not! The Switchbone is Amazing! Johnny A about Radial Switchbone.

at 2:16 ben shows off his Tonebone JX-2 Switchbone.

At 5:20 In this video interview from Premier Guitar, Robert Randolph talks about his ToneBone JX-2. “The ToneBone kinda helps you get the whole polarity thing going, then allows you to be able to create this midrange over here. You see you can get into that and then you can get gain on the midranges, which for pedal steels, it’s important to have the high mids and the mids-mids. It’s really what it’s all about. Derek Trucks figured it out so that’s why he’s sly, he gets the creamy sound when he’s got his amps tweaked out too.”

According to Premier Guitar's rig rundown, Osborne uses Radial JX-2 Switchbone.

> The Switchbone is an essential part of my live rig with Gregg Allman and in many of my session dates.

> The Switchbone has been the heart and soul of my rig for years. The phase reverse and ground lift switches are invaluable since I always use two amps. Radial continues to design the most useful and intuitive gear of anyone. They know what we need. Dickinson about his Radial Switchbone.
