Headbone User Guide
True to the Music
Why is this setup so cool? Because it truly covers all of the bases: the
powerful clean sound from a 100-Watt amp is radically different than a
cranked all-tube 30-Watt amp. A Headbone setup lets you quickly access
the tones from two amps with the convienence of footswitch control right
on your pedalboard. Best of all, you only have to carry around a single
speaker cabinet - a luxury that is best appreciated at two in the morning
after the gig!
Tone chart: two amp heads, one distortion pedal,
one speaker cabinet, six distinct amp tones.

With the Headbone in your rig, you are now able to specify which ampli-
fier you will use for a particular song, passage or even phrase. You do
not have to compromise your tone, or carry around two amp-stacks to
get there. Headbone adds tonal flexibility while reducing the amount of
equipment you must bring to the gig! More tone with less gear.
