Q: If I do not want to use the Slingshot remote, how far from the
amps and speaker can I be?
A: As a general rule, we do not recommend running cables any more
than 20 feet as you are subjecting the signal to increased resistance. If
you are intent on doing so, use good quality cables. For speaker con-
nections use large gauge (12AWG) speaker cables. For guitar signals
use low capacitance shielded cables.
Q: How do I know if my footswitch will be Slingshot compatible?
A: If your external footswitch employs a basic latching type switch with
a ¼” or ¼” TRS connector it will, in all likelihood, be compatible. If it
employs some type of multi-pin connector or telephone style jack, it may
not. Consult your dealer or manufacturer for advice on how you can make
an adaptor that will allow you to enjoy the benefits of the Headbone’s
Slingshot.
Q: Can I use another power supply other than the 15VDC that comes
with the Headbone?
A: No. Never use another power supply unit other than the one included
with your Headbone. Because of the Headbone’s Class-A circuit, a more
powerful 15VDC supply is required. If you need a replacement power
supply, contact your Tonebone dealer.
