Did you order direct from Switzerland? If so, were there any additional import duties?This is the switcher I have. I absolutely love it. 3 years now I’ve had it I think. No issues.

I only keep one ohmage set of cans hooked up at a time. Most of mine are 16 ohm. I’m in the process of converting the few stragglers over as well.Good to know. How do you handle impedance matching, or is it not an issue for you?
The mighty Zen Amps.. RULES!When I did the Zen amps videos they had 2 of the 8x8 KHE switchers to run all the amps and cabs. Loved it.
Combining amps is awesome man!!I got the Morley ABY switcher pedal. It's silent, no clicks when stepping on the button. MF had a Stupid Deal of the Day for 30% off on this pedal about a year ago so I snagged one. Just make sure to unplug it when you're done or you'll drain the battery. Works great when switching between amps as well as combining 2 amps also. Don't know nothing about no buffers or load boxes, because I don't know much about electronics. Just know this pedal is silent and sounds great.

Sounds like you’d be better off with a patch bay.
I have a de lisle 4x4 and I’ve already outgrown it.
If you have 7 amps and a 4x4 switcher you lose the first point. Tell me why a patch bay can’t do the same as a switcher?One of the best quality of life features amp switchers provide is that once you get it setup, you never have to plug or unplug your amps and cabs again to get any combination of them running. Another benefit is that you can't accidentally run an amp without a load attached.
A patch bay fundamentally cannot provide that first benefit and also cannot guarantee safety from the second scenario.

I’ve also found that if you have an amp with a different output impedance you can’t put it in the mix without going behind and moving wires. I did match all my cabinets to 16 ohms but my stupid Bassman is 4 ohms only. I may take it out of rotation just for that reason.
It’s me that needs the patchbay. I figure if nothing is plugged in that a good visual that you aren’t plugged in and I’m pretty sure you can have a dummy load on the unplugged jacks.

Wait, why not? Seems like an easy thing to implement.… A patchbay just seems super risky to me. A patchbay isn't going to allow you to auto-route all unused jacks to dummy loads. That's not what patchbays do, …
I’d rather just take the amp out of rotation. The amp isn’t that important to me. Looks like cool tech though.![]()

Yes, I’ve outgrown the 4x4.

Switched jacks. Some amps have the same idea built in.How would you implement it, specifically?
That's not my setup. The picture is of the KHE test bed in Switzerland.
