Using Slingshot output & input remote control
The Slingshot output lets you send a status change command out to
a device such as an amplifier’s footswitch channel selector. The Cab-
bone’s Slingshot remote input lets you receive a status change com-
mand from any footswitch to change between the Cabbone’s speaker
outputs. To accept a remote footswitch, simply switch the Slingshot
remote from INTERNAL to EXTERNAL. The Cabbone is designed to
receive a latching contact closure as is common with most guitar amps.
To send a status change command from the Cabbone to your amp to
change its channel, simply connect the Slingshot output to the amp’s
footswitch ¼” input jack. If the amp uses a dual function ¼” TRS jack
to control channel change and reverb/chorus 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. Once connected, if the amp channel does not toggle,
try changing the setting from LATCHING to PULSE or vice versa. With
TRS set-ups, try reversing the polarity from TIP to RING or vice versa.
It is unlikely that you can damage the amp while setting up. By ensur-
ing the volume levels are set low, you will reduce power generation and
transients from harming your system. If you are not sure about your
system or set-up, have your Tonebone dealer assist you.
Safety features that are built in
Once you are satisfied that the Cabbone is working with your amp,
you are now set to play. It is important to note that when the Cabbone
switches between the two speaker cabinets, the Cabbone will momen-
tarily activate both speakers at the same time in a controlled ramped
overlap. This ensures safe operation of the amplifier by maintaining a
constant speaker load.
Furthermore, Cabbone is equipped with a feature called SafeMode™.
Should ever the power be disconnected, the Cabbone will immediately
go into SafeMode™ whereby a default setting will connect the amp to
speaker output-1.
Slingshot set up to change amp channels at the same time speaker
cabinets are switched. External foot switch is optional.
