And also incorporates more options:
Amp Bus insert
The 16x8 MIDI Selector allows you to insert an Amp Attenuator or a Speaker Simulator. In this way, all the Amps and Speakers connected to the Selector will be working thru this attenuator or speaker simulator. This insert opens the bus amp and is located electronically in between amp power inputs and speaker outputs of the Selector. The use of modern Speaker Simulator gives you an extra analog or digital output to a DAW or other applications.
Muted Tuner Output
The 16x8 MIDI Selector allows you to connect an external Tuner using the Jack Output in the front panel. This Output only Works when you press the MUTE TUNER switch. This is a useful mode to have a more clean pedal rig routing. Also you can use this output to other functions: For example to connect in cascade a second Kahayan selector unit. Also to mute all the setup in one button in case, for example, you need to change any pedal in your rig.
MIDI Input and Thru
The 16x8 MIDI Selector can be controlled by MIDI data. For this function you can use a MIDI Pedalboard or a MIDI/Bluetooh® interface (not included). Also the unit incorporates a MIDI thru output.
