1. Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the Rocktron
Taboo
™
Twin!
The Taboo Twin is a 24-bit DSP professional tube guitar amplifier providing 12 unparal-
leled effect algorithms and superb sound quality never before heard from a digital tube guitar
amp. Complete programmability and full MIDI implementation are coupled with a user friendly
operating format to ensure that designing unique and useful preset sounds is as simple as
possible.
In addition, the Taboo Twin also features:
• High-quality Digital Effects, including:
- Reverb
- Phasing
- Tremolo
- Flanging
- Pitch Shifting - Compression - Chorus
- Delay
• Full parametric Pre and Post EQ gives the user complete EQ
control over each preset.
• HUSH
®
Noise Reduction reduces noise while playing and pro-
vides complete silence when not.
• "Variac" Simulation, like a conventional Variac, adjusts the level
at which the preamp begins to distort. This provides more gain in
high-gain applications, and allows for full-bodied cleaner presets
which just begin to distort when the strings are attacked harder.
• Internal Wah-Wah allows the player to use an expression pedal
for Wah-Wah effects instead of running long audio cables out to a
conventional Wah-Wah pedal.
• XLR Outputs for direct mixer input.
• Advanced Speaker Simulation on the XLR outputs provides a
realistic approximation of a miked speaker cabinet at line-level for
direct mixer input or headphone listening.
This manual will detail the various features and functions of the Taboo Twin. After read-
ing it, please keep it for future reference.
