A Controller Designed for the "System" Logic of Radial JX Switchers
The Radial JR5 was designed as a foot extension for Radial guitar and amp signal switchers JX42 V2 and JX44 V2. It fits into a "rig" approach: centralizing switching, ensuring reliable changes during live performance or studio work, and maintaining immediate control without touching the rack or switching pedalboard.
Who Is the Radial JR5 For?
The JR5 is aimed at guitarists and bassists using multi-amp switching systems, stage technicians who want clean and repeatable changes, and studio environments where amp and source switching must remain simple, fast, and silent. It is also suitable for reamping setups: routing is prepared, then paths are recalled/activated by foot at the right moment.
