Offering unparalleled amplifier, effects loop and speaker cabinet switching flexibility in a single rack space. 442 features mono, dual mono, true stereo, wet/dry/wet operation, and WIFI connectivity, all monitored on a brand new integrated TFT Screen and controlled either natively or remotely. Whether you’re a professional musician, amp collector, studio engineer, or just a tone enthusiast, the 442 delivers unparalleled performance in a safe, noise-free, reliable package perfect for your rig. What the 442 doesThe 442 amp switcher lets you route up to four amplifiers and two speaker cabinets, while managing effects-loop routing for flexible signal paths. Switching is clean and quiet. It’s built to protect connected gear and keep operation repeatable. Integrated TFT GUIA built-in TFT screen provides an overview of the current routing and system status. Use the GUI to select presets, monitor device states, and navigate operating modes quickly. 442 amp switcher operation modesMono mode: configure as a 4-amp / FX-loop / 2-cab switcher for mono setups Stereo mode: dual 2-amp routing for stereo rigs Rig mode: supports splitting or switching per amplifier and enables complex rigs including wet/dry/wetconfigurations Dual Cab mode: select two cabinets in parallel for expanded cabinet options Control and connectivityWiFi control: connect to a WiFi network using the Esptouch app for remote control, monitoring, and firmware updates OSC support: compatible with Open Sound Control (OSC), an open standard for music gear control Technical specificationsWidth: 438 mm (17.25″) Height: 44 mm (1.75″) / 1U Depth: 143 mm (5.63″) Front panel width: 482 mm (19″) Weight: 2.3 kg (5 lbs) Power: 5 W max Universal input: 80–260 V Setup notesThe 442 is designed for repeatable routing in complex rigs. Use presets to switch between common configurations and keep the signal path consistent between sessions. For stereo or wet/dry/wet setups, verify cabinet selection and loop routing before powering on connected amplifiers. WiFi control is useful when the unit is rack-mounted and you want to monitor or configure it remotely.
