Description

Streamline your onstage setup with the Radial ToneBone Bumper Instrument Selector, a must-have for multi-instrumentalists who need seamless transitions between up to four instruments. This compact switch pedal is designed to simplify your performance, allowing you to connect multiple instruments to one amplifier and toggle between them effortlessly using a convenient footswitch. The Bumper intelligently skips inactive inputs, ensuring that your footwork remains minimal and your focus stays on the music.

The Class A input buffer stands out as a key feature, preserving the integrity of your sound during long cable runs by lowering impedance and minimizing noise. This ensures your tone remains pristine, free from unwanted artifacts. Each input is equipped with a Trim/Drag switch and potentiometer, giving you the flexibility to optimize gain or correct load. Use the Trim setting to balance loud active pickups with their passive counterparts, or switch to Drag to emulate the authentic tone and feel of being directly connected to your amp.

Enhanced with colored LEDs for quick visual confirmation of your active instrument, the ToneBone Bumper also includes a buffered tuner output that eliminates those irritating pops and clicks during tuning sessions. Whether you're switching between electric and acoustic guitars, or adding a banjo into the mix, this pedal is designed to make your life on stage smoother and your sound impeccable.

  • Connect up to four instruments to a single amplifier and select with a footswitch
  • Colored LEDs provide at-a-glance confirmation of the active instrument
  • Trim/Drag switch and potentiometer on each input for gain optimization or load correction
  • Trim balances louder active sources with passive counterparts
