User's Manual

QUICK START

Note:

This section is designed for guitar technicians that are familiar

with speaker cabinet loads and remote switching. We do highly

recommend that all users take a few moments to peruse the rest

of this manual so all features and functions are understood. This

is important as we have no way of controlling how the Cabbone is

used. It is therefore your responsibility to follow these instructions

and consult your ampliﬁer manuals to ensure compatibility.

Basic connections

Before starting, ensure your ampliﬁer is turned off, all volume con-

trols are set to zero, and the Cabbone power supply is disconnected.

Assuming both of your speaker cabinets have the same impedance,

make sure you set your amp’s impedance to match. We recommend

using 16-gauge or larger speaker cables for all connections.

Connect your amp’s speaker output to the Cabbone’s ‘FROM AMP’

input jack. The Cabbone’s maximum input is 120 watts. Connect the

Cabbone’s SPEAKER-1 output jack to your ﬁrst speaker cabinet and

SPEAKER-2 output to your second speaker cabinet. You can now con-

nect the Cabbone’s power supply. This will turn the Cabbone on and

one of the LED indicators will illuminate.

Now, turn your amp on and bring up the volume slowly. Driving your

amp at a low level during setup will minimize any harmful occurrences

should an improper connection be made. At this point you should have

sound coming through speaker-1. Make sure the Cabbone remote

selector switch is set to INTERNAL so that the on-board footswitch

will work. Depress the footswitch on the Cabbone. This will switch the

sound to speaker-2.

If you are using two speaker cabinets with different loads (different

impedance rated in ohms), set the amp’s impedance to match the load

of the lowest speaker cabinet impedance you intend to use.
