almost perfect
This ABY box does its job perfectly. The Radial 'drag' control really lets you tune the buffer circuit (used to not halve your volume between amps) to sound just like your guitar straight in. The switches are sturdy and roadworthy. The boost/mid-boost function sounds awesome in any of the settings. In mute mode the boost button is hand for putting your tone-sucking Boss TU-2 (or 3 or whatever) on the tuner out and still having silent tuning. The only problem with this bad boy is the odd-voltage/current power supply! The Radial wall wart is not sturdy. I have destroyed 3 of them. No one else makes a power supply that will sub in. You cannot hook the Tonebone pedals to your multi-pedal power supply either, they need too much current. If I toured with the Radial again I would make sure to travel with at least 2 radial wall warts.

I found a 3rd party wall wart on the web that's low noise, has the right barrel end, amperage/voltage and si way cheaper. Bought a few of them as backup because even ignoring this pedal's intended function it has that drag control as well as a nice high voltage boost that can do mid only or gain with fully adjustable gain boost trim and 2 settigns for the mid-hump that also effect the gain mode so its like 2 mid-boosts, a gain boost thatc an eb transparent or have 2 different mid voicings. The thing is a swiss army peamp and the fidelity is killer. It can cop a lot of different popular Fet boost sounds including ones form delay units like the EP3 or the Korg SDD3000. So anyway, yeah, there's a company making the right power supply and it works and its not noisey. Still wish I could run it off a big DC power brick like most pedals.

3rd party wall wart has developed a buzz/hum.... grrr

"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

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.
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!
