• Guitar
amp speaker cabinet switcher
• Lets you toggle between two speaker cabinets
• Digitally controlled relays with ramping overlap
• Slingshot™ remote-control switching
• SafeMode™ failsafe protection
• Works with tube and solid state amplifiers
Cabbone uses high-performance, high-cycling, gold contact relays to switch the
amp's speaker output to either cabinet without adding color to the tone. To ensure
safe, stable amplifier operation and smooth transitions, switching is controlled
by a timer IC that manages a ramped connection overlap. This ensures a constant
load on the output, a major concern with tube amplifiers. As a further safety
measure, the Cabbone incorporates a power-off feature called SafeMode™ which
automatically diverts the input signal to output-1 if the power supply is ever
disconnected or turned off by mistake.
To reduce the ‘cable spaghetti’ between the the amplifier, speakers,
pedal board and back, Cabbone is equipped with a Slingshot™ input and output
- Slingshot is Radial's easy to use remote control system that allows any footswitch
to toggle switching of remote devices using just regular 1⁄4” guitar
cables. The Slingshot remote input can be controlled by either momentary or latching
contact closure.
To add versatility, the Cabbone also incorporates a Slingshot output that can
be used to remotely switch amp channels while switching cabinets. You could for
instance connect the Slingshot remote output on the Radial
Loopbone to toggle
the Cabbone and go from a 2x12” open back to a 4x12” half-stack.
Connecting the Slingshot output to the amp as well would allow you to change
the amp channel at the same time, allowing each cabinet to have its own EQ and
gain.
Add a Loopbone to the equation and with a single foot stomp you can introduce
an effects loop, change speakers and change amp channels at the same time! Very
cool! Now you can get those perfect tone combinations on stage quickly, and do
it with one switch instead of a tap dance routine!
Cabbone – another creative tool for making better music from the Tonebone
tone fanatics at Radial.
