Introducing the Diamond Router, available 2008 in full production graphics. Available now as a custom order. The Diamond Router is a soft momentary contact relay switched true bypass A/B/Both amp switcher with 'smart buffers' on channel B. In single channel mode (signal going to either A OR B), channels A and B are always true bypass, but when going to 'Both' A AND B mode, the user has the choice to leave channel B in true bypass, or to select buffering and phase inversion options on channel B whenever both A and B are on simultaneously. This gives the best of both worlds - true bypass on either channel individually, and user selectable impedance buffering and phase correction as needed when both amps are selected simultaneously.

Controls:

A or B: Switches between amp A or B when 'A and B' mode is off

A and B: Switches both A and B amps in.

B buf: when turned off, B channel remains true bypass regardless of 'A or B' mode or 'A and B' mode. When enabled, B channel is buffered ONLY when in 'A and B' mode, intelligently reverts to true bypass in 'A or B' mode. Buffering is useful for amps that may in parallel produce a tone darkening impedance load to the guitar.

B phs: only operational if B buf is turned on, it flips the absolute phase of channel B 180 degrees which can be used to either correct the relative phase of two amps when on simultaneously, or as an effect in its own right. By using 'smart buffers', this buffering and phase inversion can be removed automatically when using B individually.

Powering: requires external 9V negative tip powering - any standard pedal power supply of at least 100 mA will work fine
