ACS 8x4 - Features

• Amp Switching - switch between 8 guitar amps (one at the time/mono). works with tube & solid-state amps, heads and combos.
• Cab & Load Switching - switch between 4 speaker cabinets or load boxes
• Dual-Cab Mode - activate and play two Speaker Cabinets or Loadboxes in parallel at the same time.
• FX-Loop Switching - OPTIONAL FEATURE / KHE AFX 8
  route all amps fx-loops through the ACS and share pedals like Delay, Reverb or Gates with all amps. The master fx-loop can be true-bypassed and the on/off state gets recalled automatically in sync with the amps, even remotely controlled via MIDI. 
  
• Attenuator Insert - share & use a single power attenuator or load box with all amps (like Boss Waza TAE, UA OX Top Box, Two Notes Captor & Reload, Shure, Weber, etc)
• MIDI Control - remotely control your amp collection via MIDI by pedal boards or other MIDI controllers
• Modular System - multiple switchers can be linked together to expand switching capabilities
• Ground Lift, Tuner Output, Front & Rear Guitar Input
• Load Resistors + Load Detection
• 19" 1u steel rack enclosure, 20cm depth, 3,5kg, external 15VDC PSU

Compatibility
The KHE ACS is compatible with all types of amplifiers and load devices, such as tube amps, solid-state amps, speaker cabinets, load boxes and power attenuators, up to 150 watts per channel.

Safety Features
The ACS is 100% safe for tube amplifiers: Load resistors protect the unused amplifiers and a load detection circuit supervises the cabinet jacks for the presence of a load device. If no load is connected, the cabinet outputs are automatically locked and excluded from the switching operation. This ensures amplifiers can never be activated without a real load connected.

✔ 150 Watts power handling per channel
✔ built like a tank with colour-coded jacks
✔ low noise, no hum, transparent sound, fast & click-less switching
✔ analog relay switching, digitally controlled by a microcontroller
✔ most advanced amp switcher on the market!
