Foot switch assign - internal or external

Works with the Slingshot remote input. To allow an external device to

toggle the Cabbone’s speaker selector switch, the footswitch assign

switch needs to be set to EXTERNAL. Once set, the on-board foot-

switch will be deactivated.

Slingshot output

One of the most powerful features built into the Cabbone is the Sling-

shot output / thru-put. From this ¼” jack you can send a status change

command to various other devices such as switching your amp’s chan-

nels at the same time as you change speakers. Another application

may be to toggle a multi-effects processor from one preset to another.

To send a status change command from the Cabbone to your amp and

change its channel, simply connect the Slingshot output to the amp’s

footswitch ¼” input jack.

Slingshot assign switch – latching or pulse

This switch lets you conﬁgure the Cabbone’s output switch conﬁgu-

ration to match your ampliﬁer’s switching footswitch for latching or

momentary operation. Most older tube amps employ a latching type

of switch while newer ampliﬁers tend to use electronic switching that

require a pulse or momentary contact closure to make them work.

Once connected, if when switching, the amp channel or effect device

does not toggle, try changing the setting from LATCHING to PULSE or

vice versa. Although it is unlikely that you can damage your amp while

setting up, by ensuring the volume levels are set low, you will reduce

the opportunity for loud transients from harming your system. If you

are not sure about your system or set-up, have your Tonebone dealer

assist you.

Slingshot assign switch – positive or negative

If your amp uses a dual function ¼” TRS jack to control the channel

selector and reverb on/off, you may have to employ a ¼” TRS cable

from the Cabbone or have an adaptor made to break out each function.

Consult your dealer or a qualiﬁed technician for help on this. To adapt

to various systems, the Cabbone is equipped with a switch that lets

you assign the switch to the TIP or the RING on a ¼” TRS connector. If

the Cabbone does not affect a change, try reversing the polarity.
