Radial Shotgun 4-channel Amp Driver

Drive Multiple Amps Cleanly – The Shotgun Instrument Buffer and Splitter

The Shotgun is a compact guitar-level signal buffer designed to drive up to four amplifiers simultaneously while fitting easily on any pedalboard.

• 1×4 mono or 2×2 stereo operation
• Isolated outputs eliminate buzz and hum
• Buffered outputs prevent signal loss
• 180° polarity switches to phase-match amps

The Shotgun makes it easy to drive multiple amplifiers cleanly and in phase without buzz or hum from ground loops. In mono operation, connect to input-1 of the Shotgun and you can feed up to four amps simultaneously. For stereo setups, the Shotgun automatically reconfigures when both inputs are used; feeding input-1 to the first two amplifiers, and input-2 to the second pair. Isolation transformers and ground lifts are included on the outputs to eliminate ground loop noise, along with 180° polarity reverse switches to ensure all amps are phase-matched.

Using the Shotgun in 1×4 Mono-Mode

The Shotgun gives total freedom to connect the pedalboard output to amps, effects or the PA. The isolated outputs eliminate nasty ground loop hum.

Using the Shotgun in 2×2 Stereo-Mode

Plug in a stereo chorus and the Shotgun delivers a noise-free stereo signal as it automatically rebalances the load to retain tone.

Using the Shotgun in the Studio

Use the Shotgun to split the guitar signal to various effects, amps and a direct box so that a guitar solo can be reamped later on.
