I’ve been wanting one of these for years…. I gotta finally break down and get something. Love the vibe man ❤

[@tinkercitymusic]

If you're looking I've got an Egnater SS4 switcher. It functions just like the Kahayan but is more affordable. I'm letting mine go if you would be interested. No sweat if not :)

[@braxal6983]

I use the KHE Audio amp switcher. To me it is hands down the best. Swiss made. I use a stream deck to switch the amps and cabs.

[@cbruce3680]

Debating a khe vs kahayan. Would love to hear why you think khe is the best. Cheers!

[@ChristianPalmer82]

My man’s gotta dish full of pasta on the console.

[@tinkercitymusic]

Great video! I got a switcher as well but have decided to work with a different work flow. I do really dig the ease and flow though!

[@laneysommer]

Great setup! Thanks for sharing :)

[@EJH-jn6mo]

KHE all day and night. Also, I have an ox box and it’s great to use for cab emulation but as an attenuator I think it’s subpar so use my fryette Powerstation for that. Between all of that I can have cabs moving air (moderately) and still have the OX powering my studio monitors at the same time. Best of all worlds.

[@JLP-333]

Do you go line out of the fryette to the OX or do you come out of a switcher to the OX

[@marcusedvardsson5505]

I'm gonna get me one of the KHE Amp Switchers, must be totally awesome to have all amps available by a flick of a switch.

[@davidwilliams8031]

Does the Ox attenuate with this particular hookup method? If so, pretty sweet that all your amps have that ability now. Can the cab outputs be individually adjusted for ohm requirements?

[@dudeguy830]

How could you record a band as a beginner with beginner equipment? Could you maybe make a video?

[@fatbackfunk]

Awesome! Great video! I'm in the midst of getting some OX goodness in my life, as well as trying to figure out which amp/speaker switcher to go with. The Kahayan seems pretty straight forward. I currently have a lot more old/vintage combo amps than I do heads. Question, how are you hooking up the combo amps with the OX? Do any of them require special modifications to do so?! Also, I'm assuming, when using the OX speaker/cab sims with your amps, one does not need to be concerned with matching ohms, etc... as you would when dealing with real cabs, correct? Thanks for sharing!

[@rocketsauce5067]

I have a DeLisle amp switcher 4x4 and it works great, No midi but still cool.

[@peterpalmieri1289]

Do you have the Ox in and out of the bus on the keyahan? And then you can have your 4 speakers be the speakers of your combos. All can be attenuated but you could also take the champ head into the Princeton speaker. And to have that flexibility you turn the speaker volume on the ox to zero.

[@peterpalmieri1289]

To be more clear the bus insert is for the ox. Connect your four speaker options to the combo speakers. I don’t the switcher yet but that’s the plan.

[@fiddle954]

I’m new to amp switchers and I’m curious about the ohm load. Does it carry the ohm load for you when you switch amps? Is it a set ohm load or is it variable between 4,8, and 16? Great channel.

[@RavanStudios]

A M A Z I N G

[@henryhuynh2099]

Congrats man. I love it and I want it. This is a game changer for your inspiration. Btw the mix video w the console is sick. Did you finish it thru the console if so how can I hear it.

[@40WattPodcast]

I keep looking at switchers like this and I really think I need to bite the bullet. Think I'm going to end up getting the KHE unit.

[@therockhour1386]

Whats the shelf for amps? I cant really find anything that will fit my old marshall? Another question, how did you manage any ohm mismatches?

[@itsstudiotime]

All the amps are set to 8 ohms, and the shelf is just a basic wire shelf: amzn.to/3ThBD1h

[@crtgregoric1063]

Does anybody know what is Frank playing on guitar. Is it just improvisation or is that an actual song/piece of music? It's just so amazing, played with great feel. Would be very appreciative of any info:)

[@itsstudiotime]

He's just riffing, very common progression.

[@crtgregoric1063]

Makes sense, thanks for the reply:)

[@vanmarkiton8336]

This is the way

[@paulmiller657]

You need a setup like Tim Pierce!

[@itsstudiotime]

He has a great set up!

[@olddogtrey]

FIRST!!!!!!!

[@Jake_Sachs]

I think we have the same amp shelf; do you find that the metal resonates? Mine reacts to certain notes

[@itsstudiotime]

Haven’t noticed anything like that with the shelves

[@GodwinProductionsLA]

Are you running your bass amp into the ox box?

[@itsstudiotime]

Yeah I explain that in this video - it's won a few shoot outs surprisingly.

[@jloiben12]

One day these switcher manufacturers will put the send/return before the “to power amp” section of the amp instead of after the entire amp

[@aarongrimwood6594]

Why would they? Most classic amps don’t have power amp inputs? If you want to mix pre and power amps then synergy is the way to go really

[@CraigDeubler]

Butter noodle powered guitar noodles?

[@millennialanimal]

Hate to be that guy, but it’s all about the speakers! 😅

[@PlottingTheDownfall]

I guess it's good that the Ox Box has a bunch of different speaker IRs/cabs it can load.

[@millennialanimal]

@@PlottingTheDownfall If that’s what you like or the only thing you can do because of noise, I just can’t not use live amps and cabs with mics, it’s probably all in my head but I just can’t do anything else.

[@bassyey]

That's why you can get thousands of cab IRs nowadays. He can get those too.

[@millennialanimal]

@@bassyey like I said in my other response, I don’t think IRs are the same as a mic in an actual room with an actual speaker moving air in real time with a guitarist feeling the amp.

[@itsstudiotime]

I totally agree.

[@olvaandes3230]

*promo sm* 🌈

[@PrantoKoX]

Cool tool & toy, the KHE and the Tube Amp Manufaktur are also great - for a pro studio with high pressure recording situations or a pro session guitarist's setup that need it. Total overkill for a home studio, IMHO. 🤷🏼‍♂️ Then again, yours has stopped being a "home studio" quite a while ago, hasn't it? The whole "Thank you Sweetwater" deal seems to make many of you guys forget the real world and the real depth of people's pockets - or the fact that yours is now a gear showroom franchise, not a studio. So crowded with excessive sponsored gear that it's probably interfering with the already iffy acoustic treatment as far as mixing & monitoring goes, as well as visibly eating into the actual available '"room" for a good drum recording space, or for such a lavishly multi-amp equipped recording space (which BTW would nead actual cabinets, not an Ox, as every good guitarist will tell you). Sorry to rain on your parade, but this constant G.A.S. sales push makes too many of these KZbinr videos either irritatingly or laughably unrelatable and unrealistic.

[@itsstudiotime]

I appreciate you watching. I don’t make videos to appeal to any particular group of people. So if you’re looking for videos that stick to a particular budget or situation than I’m no sure why you keep clicking on videos that obviously not in your wheelhouse. I personally produce, engineer and play on records here in Nashville in my home studio. And I have built a business out of these channels that bring a lot of value to the audience who is seeking these topics. The goals of my work align with ideas from studios I visit that are real working spaces with both working class and professional producers and engineers. Happy to have you here either way, but if you don’t like how a video is unrelatable or unrealistic I suppose you could not click it. But some of the more interesting videos that I love to watch are totally unrelatable and unrealistic, and fun/entertaining.

[@devinurlacher2329]

Cool video! Had to stop watching because of the filmer’s nose whistle though.
