GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CABBONE
The Cabbone is a speaker cabinet switching device, it connects be-
tween your guitar amplifier head and two speaker cabinets.
Power supply input
There is no power-on switch on the Cabbone. Power automatically
turns on when the Cabbone’s 15VDC supply is connected. This is
a special high power 15VDC supply with positive center pin that is
compatible with all other Tonebone power supplies. You will not harm
the Cabbone if the power is left on. Before making any connections,
make sure your amplifier is turned off and the volume controls are set
to zero.
From amp input jack
The Cabbone’s main ¼” input jack is used to receive the signal from
your amplifier head. The Cabbone’s maximum input is 120 watts.
Always use a 16-gauge or larger (14 ~ 12 AWG) cable for best signal
transfer. Before connecting, make sure your speaker cabinets and am-
plifier loads are matched. If your amp has a single impedance selec-
tor/output and your speakers are different ohm loads, we suggest that
you set your amplifier to match the lowest speaker cabinet impedance.
For more details on impedance matching and loads, please consult the
sections on pages 7 & 8, or go on line at www.tonebone.com for the
latest updates.
To speaker-1 output jack
This ¼” output jack is used to connect to your first speaker cabinet. If
you are using a combo, we recommend that this be connected to the
speaker in your combo amp, as this is the most logical setup. If you
are using an amp head and two cabinets, connect the top cabinet to
speaker-1 output.
