Bass Amp Head Switcher

[lesmarshall]

Does anyone make an device that will switch between multiple solid state bass heads using one speaker cab? I know there are AB boxes that will switch a guitar between two separate rigs , but I have not been able to find anything that will switch between multiple solid state heads using a single cab (Weber makes one for tube heads ).

The Ampeg Selector Switch that was used at dealers for years is perfect.
Mine is a 19" rack mount that was probably from the 80's; has 2 tube inputs and 6 SS inputs with 8 outputs; all 1/4" jacks. Mine was something like $60 on eBay.
IMO the BEST way to A/B amps and cabinets

Does Ampeg still sell it?

Mesa High Gain Amp Switcher would work.

Looks nice but does not appear that they still sell it.

you prob can find them easier secondhand than the Ampeg units.

not that I'd ever need one, but one of my GC's was selling like 3 or 4 of those things ('Peg units) for $200 a pop a few years back. Should have bought 'em all. :-/

I've seen the Ampeg on Ebay and at a local store used for $200 fairly recently.

I've seen a similar selector made by Trace and sold by that company that sell parts and repairs British bass amps; name escapes me.
BTW, speaker selector switches are nothing knew, but the ability to impedance match for tubes or take lots of power makes it more of a MI application.

Here you go- 6 units for $56 ea.
