Are there any good alternatives out there to the Radial Headbone?

This thing does exactly what I want, but it's ugly as hell. I don't want to stare at that thing all the time. Dave and I were talking about it last night and he nailed it, he said it looks like something on the Price is Right. :lol:

Buy that, gut the case, paint it :lol:

That's why stickers were invented.

That might cure my current "dilemma" though.

Might as well.

Actually I can probably get Dana to pro paint it if I toss him some MTB parts. :lol:

What does it do to the tone?

The only problem there is "well, may as well get the big one" followed by "look at all these empty inputs and outputs I have...".

I'll have 8 amps and 4 cabs in no time. :lol:

I see no problem here.

That shell looks like Ed Roman's website.

Man I kinda want one. Have 5 amps, one cab. Three of them have FX loops too, but $1100 is hard to swallow for something that usually just takes 30 seconds of plugging and unplugging :lol:

KHE is pretty much the quality standard for these things. I want to get one but yeah, the price is a bit steep.


And I'm not just saying that because they follow me on Instagram or anything :rofl:

Other than the Radial Headbone, the two I've seen the most of online recently are the Mesa and the Ampete models:

I've been strongly considering the Mesa Head Track myself, but haven't pulled the trigger on one yet.

Here's someone giving one away on Reverb:

Mesa used to make one. Might be able to score a used one. Was rack mount too

That mesa head track might be just the thing. I could put the FM3 in the loop of both the Triaxis and the Mark V... :idea:

Hey anyone want to buy a cheap G/Major? :lol:

 

[Leon]

I have the Radial, and it works well, except for that FX loop issue. They offered a second unit to fix this, but the Mesa box is the whole package.

As far as its looks, it has a remote switch on it, so you can tuck it in the back and just use a latching footswitch to control it :yesway:

Yeah I think that's the jam. I think I can use it with the FM3 and my midi switcher, so that I could have the FM3 switch between amps too. How rad is that?

 

[Iron1]

Hmmmm. Can’t decide if I want one of these and then I’ll keep both my Jet City and my Marshall running to the mini-stack, or I want a 112 cab just for the Jet City. Decisions, decisions...
