Radial JX62 Guitar Selector with 6 Inputs
Radial JX62 Guitar Selector w/ 6 Inputs
Concert Touring Guitar and Amplifier Switcher
The JX62â„¢ is a guitar and amp switcher designed for both wired and wireless guitars in a live concert touring environment, with the ability to switch between up to six instruments and two amplifiers with ease.
A guitar technician’s best friend
The JX62 can help tame even the most complex guitar rigs, routing multiple inputs and outputs while also providing a stage tech with a headphone output and PFL switches to silently tune instruments and monitor any input without disrupting the performance. All six instrument inputs have adjustable trim controls to balance their relative levels, while channels 5 and 6 also feature direct outputs to feed the PA system, eliminating the need for external direct boxes. Dual amplifier outputs can be selected locally or with a remote JR-2 footswitch, with transformer isolation and ground lift switches to ensure noise free operation.
Using the JX62 with a guitar rig
The JX62 is the ultimate instrument and amp selector for a busy rock star! Connect four wireless guitars and then switch between two amps using the optional JR2 footswitch. Add a couple of acoustics with direct outs to the PA system.
Using the JX62 with a bass setup
Use the JX62 to switch between your favorite electrics and an upright. Channels 5 and 6 have direct outs to feed the PA system, eliminating the need for external direct boxes. Use the optional JR2 to mute the basses when tuning or switching instruments.
Using the JX62 with a multi-instrumentalist
With six inputs, the JX62 makes it easy to switch between six instruments on stage. Individual trim controls let you match the signals for the perfect balance. Use the direct outs with some Radial DI boxes if you have channels to spare!

Double up solder points for greater durability. Steel casing with steel shaft and retention nut will not bend when under stress. -
CH-5/6 DI Out Switch
Recessed ‘set-and-forget’ switch allows you to turn the direct box outputs on and off using the channel ON switches. When this switch is set to OFF, the direct outputs can be turned on and off independently. When set to ON, the direct outputs will turn on and off with the channel ON switch. -
Mute Assign
When set to OFF, the direct box outputs remains active while the amp bus outputs are muted. When set to ON, the mute function will turn off the direct box outputs along with the A/B amp bus outputs. - Warranty: Radial 3-year, transferable
