Speaker cabinet switcher for all amp types
Footswitch toggle between two speaker cabinets
Digitally controlled relays with ramping overlap
Slingshot™ remote-control switching
SafeMode™ failsafe protection

Cabbone switches between two speaker cabinets with one amplifier head allowing the guitarist to transition from say, a Fender 2x12" open back, to a Marshall 4x12" slant with one foot stomp! The Cabbone employs High-performance gold contact relays to switch the amp's speaker output to either cabinet without adding color or compromising your sound.

And Cabbone is safe – 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 amps. With SafeMode™ the input signal connects to output-1 automatically if power is ever lost.

To reduce 'cable spaghetti' on stage, Cabbone is equipped with our Slingshot™ remote controled switching system. Slingshot allows any standard footswitch to control switching from your pedalboard or wherever you like, keeping the amp-to-cabinet cables short and efficient. Slingshot can also switch amp channels, effects or other Slingshot™ equipped devices, to get those perfect tone combinations quickly and with one click instead of a tap dance routine!

Like all Radial products, the Cabbone is built tough to handle the road:
14 gauge steel, baked enamel finish, 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.

Cabbone - another creative tool for making better music from the Tonebone tone fanatics at Radial.

Cabbone Setup:
Plug your guitar into your amp as normal but instead of connecting the amp output into a speaker cabinet, plug it in to the Cabbone's 'FROM AMP' jack. Now plug one of your two cabinets into the 'SPEAKER-1' jack and the other cabinet into the 'SPEAKER-2' jack. Use only heavy duty SPEAKER cables with 1/4" connectors. You are now set up to toggle your amp safely between the two cabinets.

Because the Cabbome comes equipped Radial's innovative Slingshot™ feature, it can be switched remotely, or can itself switch other devices (like amp channels or effects) remotely, or both!
