From the website:

All the functions you demand from the Metropoulos Head Master with updated design and motif.

The Head Master MK III is the most transparent, reliable, safe for your tube amp solution for two heads into one speaker cab available. It’s also the best solution for your back up amp on stage. If your main amp goes down, you flip the switch and keep rolling in mere seconds.



New MK III features include:

Heavy steel chassis with familiar gold control panels.
No more wall wart! Simple AC cord works at any voltage.
Classic lamps for indicating which amp is active (no more little LEDs).
Pushbutton ground lifts for both guitar outputs.
Snappy rocker switches for power and amp selection.


Features that have always set the Head Master above the competition:

Absolutely transparent signal path. What goes in, comes out 100%.
Fail safe default design. Even without power, signal stays routed to AMP A.
Independent 50 watt loads for each amp keep your inactive amp safe.
Rugged and reliable for any scenario.
Wide and balanced to sit firmly on top of a head, even with all cables patched.
Intuitive color coding and detailed hook up diagram.

Full disclosure: I do NOT get a commission from Metropoulos for promoting his stuff. I consider George a friend and like his products even if I can’t afford most of them. I figure you guys might appreciate some of these too.

I'm so fucking in. Can't wait. This is EXACTLY what I need for my setup. And the price is great!

Looks cool!

Does this switch amps or are you able to run two amps into the same cab with this?

[greatmutah]

It only switches amps. No way to run two amps into the same cab at the same time with this. That would be problematic just from an electrical standpoint. That being said, it’s convenient as it keeps each amp on a load when not in use and by plugging directly into this before it goes to your amps, the signal gets shut off from whatever amp isn’t selected. Great if you have two amps sharing a cab (one for clean and one for mean) or have two different amps using one cab but don’t want to switch wiring. So uou can run them into the same cab one at a time with this switcher but it won’t combine both signals.

Rather than make a new thread, I'll post here:

I may have fucked up Billy’s plans for not buying anything after his purge.
