Description
Four Output Guitar Amp Driver
The Shotgun™ is a compact guitar-level signal buffer designed to drive up to four amplifiers simultaneously while fitting easily on any pedalboard.
Features
- 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
Feed four amps in mono or stereo
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.
Shotgun Applications
- Using the Shotgun in 1x4 mono-mode
- The Shotgun gives you total freedom to connect your pedalboard output to amps, effects or the PA. The isolated outputs eliminate nasty ground loop hum.
- Using the Shotgun in 2x2 stereo-mode
- Plug in your stereo chorus and the Shotgun delivers a noise-free stereo signal as it automatically rebalances the load to retain your tone.
- Using the Shotgun in the studio
- Use the Shotgun to split your guitar signal to various effects, amps and a direct box so that you can Reamp your guitar solo later on.
Specifications
The Shotgun is a multi-output unity-gain buffering amplifier designed to faithfully reproduce high impedance electric guitar signals and distribute them to four outputs. The first output is direct, while the other three are transformer isolated in order to reduce ground noise contamination. Intended for use with guitars with a working range of between -30dB and 0dB, the Shotgun exhibits less than 0.01% distortion while delivering a near perfect linear frequency response from 20Hz to 20kHz.
