The Radial Engineering 4-Play was created for multi-instrumentalists who want to switch between live instruments at will. Providing four XLR pathways that can connect to their own dedicated channels on a PA, mixer, or recorder, the pedal allows you to mute all the outputs, switch instruments without audible pops or clicks, select the proper output, and beginning playing, all in a seamless manner.
An LED status indicator lets you know which channel you’re currently outputting through, The 4-Play also provides a tuner output that can work even when the pedal is muted, so you can tune in silence.
You’ll find ground-lift switches for every output, as well as a toggle which changes the behaviour of the tuner/mute switch configuration. ALWAYS ON means the tuner always receives signal; ON W MUTE outputs signal only when the mute switch is engaged, while OFF W MUTE does the opposite.
The 4-Play is made of 14-gauge steel, which makes it a reliable machine, as does the unit’s shielding and military-spec circuit board. These provide protection against stray magnetic fields, cancelling out any interference of the controls. To accommodate pedalboards, this pedal works with standard 9V connections, thus facilitating easy powering from your typical pedalboard power brick.
