Cab-Bone Speaker Cabinet Switcher

This guitar amp cabinet switcher connects between an amp head and 2 cabinets, allowing transition between the 2 cabs while using the same amp head.

Uses high-performance, high-cycling, gold contact relays to switch the amp's speaker output without adding color to the tone. To ensure safe, stable amplifier operation and smooth transitions, a timer IC manages a ramped connection overlap. This ensures constant load on the output, a major concern with tube amplifiers. As a further safety measure, the Cab-Bone 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 amplifier, speakers, pedal board and back, Cab-Bone 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 Cab-Bone 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 Cab-Bone and go from a 2 x 12" open back to a 4 x12" 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 onstage quickly, and do it with one switch instead of a tap dance routine!

Like all Radial products, the Cab-Bone is built tough to handle the road: 14-gauge steel, baked enamel finish, and high performance parts throughout. You get all of this in a compact enclosure that is ultra-quiet and completely transparent to the tone of your amp.
