Why Choose the Twin-City ABY Switcher?
The Twin-City is ideal for guitarists looking to run dual amp setups with no loss in clarity, punch, or dynamics. Unlike passive ABY boxes that can suffer from impedance mismatch or hum, Radial’s active circuit ensures clean, transparent signal routing with built-in tools to correct common issues like ground hum and phase cancellation.
Trusted by professionals worldwide, the Twin-City shares the same signal path as the legendary JD7 used by Steve Vai and Carlos Santana, delivering studio-grade performance in a compact pedal format.
