Cabulator
Introduction
Rear Panel
A Complete – Not Approximated – Simulation
An important aspect of processing guitar sounds is the reproduction of chords: The strings
should exhibit a fine resolution and homogeneous, musically unified sound. From this
emanates the deep, complex and unified sonic structure typical of the best cabinet assem-
blies. This aspect is also a prime consideration in the Cabulator‘s uniquely precise output:
Through its new concept in signal processing you experience a completely authentic sonic
feel.
The Cabulator circuitry also conveys the different runtimes of low and high speakers. With
reduced guitar signal levels, the Cabulator nonetheless reproduces the full dynamic range of
a guitar amp – independently of POWER SOAK adjustments.
Analog Construction – Analog Function
The Cabulator is a fully analog design to achieve authentic sound results. Furthermore, the
simulation is processed in real time for a direct, latency-free playability. The guitar amp is
loaded exactly in the same way like with a cabinet, so that the interaction of both components
also produces the same acoustic results.
Power Connection
The scope of delivery comprises an external power supply. It accepts voltages in the range
from 100 to 250 Volt at 50 and 60 Hz. If this power supply does not fit your local (wall) power
sockets, you can use any external power supply with the following specifications:
9 volts DC regulated power supply, 200 mA minimum. DC jack connector: 2.1 mm, outer plus/
center minus (Boss standard).
On and Off
The Cabulator has no separate on/off switch. First connect the DC connector of the external
power supply to the rear DC POWER socket of the Cabulator. Now plug the external power
supply into a power socket. The Cabulator is now powered on, indicated by the blue LED on
the front panel.
Always plug or unplug the external power supply in order to switch the unit on or off. First
connect the DC jack connector before you plug in the power connector. Always keep the
DC connector plugged when you power the unit on or off by plugging and unplugging the
external power supply. With the external power supply plugged to a power socket, the DC
connector carries current and wrong contacts may produce short circuits.
Signal Connections
Before connecting any other equipment – and in all other cases where you are connecting
cables with or from other sources – you should be sure to shut the Cabulator and all machines
to be connected off (unplug external power supply).
Otherwise you risk to damage the unit,
connected gear or your ears.
1/4 " Jack Sockets
The 1/4 " jack sockets SOAK OUTPUT and SPEAKER IN are unbalanced. The balanced D. I.
OUTPUT TRS connector can be used both with balanced and unbalanced (=mono jack connec-
tion) wiring.
For further information on the jack connections (pin wiring) please refer to the descriptions of
the respective inputs and outputs on the following pages.
