i'ld just get used to the idea of switching them off and changing... ya dont want to leave a tube amp without a load while checking the other...

Headbone by Radial. Works great... I still have one. You can even remote switch it from your switching rig. Tonebone Headbone VT valve tube amp head switcher - introduction

There is real high end one out there that will do 3 or 4.... guys like Billy from Green Day use it...etc. Can't remember the brand though.. sorry.

oops. no... it splits the GTR into 4x simultaneously before the amp.

the Headbone will split the AMP into 2x before the cab:

the Headtrip is... well, a trip! 1-3 heads into 1-2 cabinets, FX loop, 2 inputs, etc...

Does anyone make something like the headbone... but just much, much sluttier? Like the uberslut head sampler?

Seriously, I want 16x16. If I could have it laid out in two sets of eight (two rigs active at once, independently), and be able to flip a switch to swap out the speaker banks, meaning head group A goes to cab group B.

Or, does anyone want to build me one? I don't care about swithching where the guitar goes. I would just want to be able to never touch a speaker cable again, and be able to A/B between any 2 of my cabs or heads (well, times two... two banks of 8)

Man... there is a company that does.... they have done high end rigs for Green Day, Eddie Van Halen, etc.... I just can't remember the name.... They are hard to find on the web. It's custom audio something....

HA! Found them... finally. Check it out here. I think 4 is the max though.... but I bet you could get them to build somethingcustom... if you have a lot of cash.
