Shotgun 4-channel Amp Driver Review

Nice Solution

With this pedal I am able to compare up to four amps at once and also hear which amps are lacking certain frequencies. Running amps together that are voiced different gives a huge tone.

Yup! It’s Great!

I use this to send my dry signal to a modeler, a Marshall combo, a victory head and a instrument preamp for tracking dry to the daw. They are all getting clean and perfect signals thanks to this box! Love it! Would be nice if it came with a PSU like my switchbone. But it just takes a 9vDC neg tip which is kinda the standard for pedals so it was easy enough to track down another… read more PSU for this. The location of the dc power input jack is not ideal for me but I made it work. I WISH, that it had the buffer adjustment like the switchbone aby/c box for when I use active pickups since they are their own buffer. I also wish it had the drag control. I have come to like that feature on the JX.2 switchbone, but this does 4 mono outs or two stereo and I love it. I mounted it on the underside of my desk. Works great!

Radial shotgun

The service and shipping were fast and accurate as always.Using multiple amps is not a new concept, but I wanted more options and flexibility than I could get with an aby switch. So my quest for a switcher began. The voodoo product was perfect but discontinued so I looked at the Radial shotgun for 800. A bit more than I wanted to spend. I bought a really quality, built for the… read more road 6 amp switcher from Kendricks amps. Very happy but its really not intended for on the fly switching.Then Sweetwater sent me notice of the radial shotgun... I jumped on it because:The price was absolutely irresistible It is bufferedIt has ground switching/liftAnd 2 instrument inputs. With 1 guitar connected all 4 amps are supplied by that input. When the 2nd guitar is connected the shotgun automatically goes to stereo with amp 1&2 from input 1 and amp 3&4 from input 2.Perfect for 6L6 on one input and EL 83 on the other. Or all together. Or any combination Lots of tone options there.I normally play my strat or semi hollow through the "American" 6L6 side. Amp 1 using 6L6 into a cab of 12in eminence red white blue. Amp 2 using 6L6 into a cab of 10in eminence cannibis rex. Or play my Tele or Ric through the "British" EL 83 side.Amp 3 using EL 83 into cab with 12in eminence legend gb128 and amp 4 into amp using EL 83 into a cab of 10 in eminence ramrod.Or any guitar in any combination.Like I say: lots of tone options.You must try multiple amps. Killer.The Radial Shotgun is perfect for this, well made, and noiseless. I recommend it highly.

Sending guitar to separate effects, great!

I'm using the Shotgun to send my acoustic guitar signal direct to a mixer, and also to three separate effects (delay, resonant reverb, low octave doubler) which also go to separate channels on the mixer. The reason is, I don't want the resonant reverb affecting the repeats of the delay, and I don't want delay or reverb on the bass doubler. Further, I can control the relative levels… read more of dry sound and each effect easier with the faders than with the "mix" knobs on each pedal, and I can pan each signal differently to make a more spacious mix. When these effects are in a chain, things get mushy fast. By having each effect on its own signal path, the sound is much cleaner, and the level of dry signal is much easier to control. The Radial Shotgun is quiet and effective. I have not needed the phase or ground lift features on each channel as I'm not double amping, but they are there if needed.
