Device to switch /select which amp to attenuator

FarleyUK

I've got a few valve heads that I run through a BOSS WAZA TAE; however, plugging and unplugging the speaker cables is a bit tiresome.

Is there an equivalent of THIS that I can get in the UK? My Google-Fu is lacking, so thought I'd ask the experts!

Radial Headbone?

2 Amp into the HB, then the HB into the Boss?

Will that do it?

Should have added - ideally it would allow 4 amps into the TAE.

Whatever you get sure it’s a quality unit dedicated to switching high power amplifiers - need to make sure there’s no moment in the switching operation that there is no load - which is why the answer is usually Radial Headbone. 

Dunno about 4 though

If you don’t need to switch on the fly and it’s purely to avoid the faff of reaching around the back of the amps, a simple heavy-duty rotary switch in a box with five jacks will do the job. (Or even captive speaker cables, which would make it more reliable.) All you need to do is make sure any amp not being used is turned off or at least on standby before you switch.

However, there’s a catch which makes it more complicated - you need to use a two-pole switch so you switch both the hot and ground connections, and the grounds are all isolated from each other, otherwise there will be ground loops between the amps which could cause hum or stability problems.
