The Palmer TINO SYSTEM Amplifier Switching System for Electric Guitars is intended for electric guitar players who would like to switch between two different amplifiers on stage. The unit routes signal from two amplifiers to one shared guitar cabinet, so that you only need to bring one cabinet to a gig. As many guitar players love to elicit different tones from different amps - and as nearly everyone dislikes carrying heavy objects - this device can be a handy solution for your rig.
Setting up the unit may seem complicated at first, but it's quite simple upon understanding the process. First, plug your guitar into the unit's instrument input. Next, connect the other two 1/4" connects on the unit's front panel to the input of your amplifiers.
After this connection is secured, turn your attention to the rear of the PTINOS. Here, you'll find inputs for your amplifier's speaker output jacks, as well as a 1/4" speaker output designed to route signal from the switcher into your cabinet. Make the necessary connections, and, once everything is set up, you can switch between amplifiers on the unit. The PTINOS also sports a 1/4" remote input so you can switch the device from a switcher or dedicated footswitch.
The PTINOS can act a load box for the amplifier not in use. Thus, it's safe to use with tube amplifiers and solid-state amps alike. Thanks to the unit's construction, you won't encounter the noise issues often endemic to amp switches. Also, you'll be able to use the Palmer PTINOS with instruments sporting either active or passive picks. A power adapter is included.
