The second headcab turned out much better than the first. Also added the color coded nuts and jack bezels. Still need to make logos, but it's coming together.

Man, that's really cool. I'll have to hit you up for one of these later one when I get my speaker cab. The second prototype is looking stylish. Nice touches with the green and red.

George,
Will these also work just as a AB box, with remote, when I have a two head, two cab back line?
Regards
Ragnar Már

You can use just the guitar level switching as an A/B box.

I have listed these in the Metroamp store for pre-order. Conservatively saying Oct 1st for shipping. But the first several units will go out before then.
I'll have these on display in Nashville Sept 6-8 and Van Nuys Oct 5-6 for the amp shows.

Hi there. Looks good.
Can you do a 3 amp head version of this? How much?

Cheers!

Look great! Are there any audible pops or clicks when switching?

No, not yet. When I do it will not use relays for switching. They are great for being transparent, but the amount of other stuff that goes into making them not "pop" is huge. I would have to look into JFETs or optoisolators or something for multi channel versions.

Very small click sound when switching, as low as can be accomplished with relays aside from using mute circuits.

We are building several that I'm taking to Nashville this week. I'll have units built and ready to ship when I return.

Unfortunately, the guy who made the 2 prototype head cabs for these decided it wasn't cost effctive to build them. I'll only have chassis versions available until I can find someone willing to make the cabs.
