John Suhr · effects unit
The John Suhr Custom 2X Amp Selector is a dual-channel amplifier switching and control interface, likely a custom-ordered or specialized foot switch controller for use with Suhr amplifiers. This type of controller provides remote switching between two amplifier channels or selection modes via a foot-activated footswitch, enabling hands-free channel and mode switching during live performance. Suhr's selector technology includes impedance switching options (4, 8, 16 ohms), power scaling modes, and channel selection. The unit integrates with Suhr's microMIDI and traditional footswitch architectures for comprehensive amplifier control from the pedalboard.
