Switcher for 2 amps into 1 cab

[coryt]

Hey guys,
I want to run two amps into a single cab and be able to switch between them. There are a few switchers out there that will do this for heads up to 150 watts and cabs 8 ohms or more (Radial Headbone, etc). But I have two 200 watt tube heads, and a 4 ohm cab. Does anyone know of one that will work with my proposed setup?
Thanks

I don't know if that's an option, because each tube head needs to have a load or you risk blowing them up.

This appears to meet your specs. Weber Two-Head FS. The inactive amp sees a 200w dummy load. $156.00.

Radial makes a head switcher.

That'll work, thanks!

Yeah I saw that one, but they don't recommend using it at 4ohms with 200watt amps

If you go with the Weber be prepared to wait a bit longer than the 7-10 days quoted on their site. I've done lots of business with them and expect to wait at least 2-3 weeks before delivery and sometimes longer if they're busy.
They make quality stuff that's worth waiting for IMO.

I got in touch with Weber, their amp switcher is only good for amps up to 100watts. It seems all the amp switchers I can find online are designed for guitar amps only. Does anyone know of one made for high wattage bass amps?

Dummy load resistors that can handle 200W are going to be large. A good quality DPDT switch could do it. One section switching the load to each amp and the second section switching the dummy load to the idle amp.
