7. SET-UPS
The Radial Switchbone has been designed for maximum flexibility on pedal boards or as a stand alone amplifier switcher / controller. As such, the Switchbone can be positioned at the input of the signal chain, the output or in between. Where you use the Switchbone is entirely based on how you intend to use it. As such, the combinations are truly endless and the only way to truly approach the subject and bring value to you the player is by discussing options and a philosophical approach to creating your sound. (Of course all the while having fun!) Take a moment to consider how the boost circuit will work within a given set-up. For instance, if you are using an amplifier that is distorted, the boost will not increase perceived loudness but increase the saturation or distortion. This would for instance, add greater sustain during a solo. Activating the boost with a clean amplifier will on the other hand increase the loudness. Therefore if one were to use the Switchbone after a distortion pedal, one could get a boost for soloing. Used in front of a distortion pedal would once again yield more saturation. As shown here, the Switchbone can be used in countless configurations based on how your guitar amps are designed, the type of sounds you are looking for and what effect pedals you use. Ultimately, it will open the door for new sounds and combinations never before realized.
