Cabbone Owner’s Manual
Foot switch assign - internal or external
Works with the Slingshot remote input. To allow an external device to
toggle the Cabbone’s speaker selector switch, the footswitch assign
switch needs to be set to EXTERNAL. Once set, the on-board foot-
switch will be deactivated.
Slingshot output
One of the most powerful features built into the Cabbone is the Sling-
shot output / thru-put. From this ¼” jack you can send a status change
command to various other devices such as switching your amp’s chan-
nels at the same time as you change speakers. Another application
may be to toggle a multi-effects processor from one preset to another.
To send a status change command from the Cabbone to your amp and
change its channel, simply connect the Slingshot output to the amp’s
footswitch ¼” input jack.
Slingshot assign switch – latching or pulse
This switch lets you configure the Cabbone’s output switch configu-
ration to match your amplifier’s switching footswitch for latching or
momentary operation. Most older tube amps employ a latching type
of switch while newer amplifiers tend to use electronic switching that
require a pulse or momentary contact closure to make them work.
Once connected, if when switching, the amp channel or effect device
does not toggle, try changing the setting from LATCHING to PULSE or
vice versa. Although it is unlikely that you can damage your amp while
setting up, by ensuring the volume levels are set low, you will reduce
the opportunity for loud transients from harming your system. If you
are not sure about your system or set-up, have your Tonebone dealer
assist you.
Slingshot assign switch – positive or negative
If your amp uses a dual function ¼” TRS jack to control the channel
selector and reverb on/off, you may have to employ a ¼” TRS cable
from the Cabbone or have an adaptor made to break out each function.
Consult your dealer or a qualified technician for help on this. To adapt
to various systems, the Cabbone is equipped with a switch that lets
you assign the switch to the TIP or the RING on a ¼” TRS connector. If
the Cabbone does not affect a change, try reversing the polarity.
