Shotgun™ User Guide

OVERVIEW

Technically speaking, the Shotgun is a unity gain guitar distribution amplifier. Simply put, it lets you drive several guitar

amps at the same time without messing with your gain structure. What is particularly cool about the Shotgun is that it can

be used either as a 1x4 (mono) distro or a 2x2 (stereo) distro depending on how it is connected.

Further, three of the Shotgun outputs are transformer isolated in order to prevent the hum and buzz that is commonly

associated with ground loops. This means that you can drive all of your amps at the same time without the usual noise

problems. It is also equipped with polarity reverse switches to ensure all of your amps play in phase. Best of all, it is super

easy to use. Just plug in and enjoy!
