Cabbone
cabinet switcher
A distortion pedal with the
dynamics and feel of a real tube
amplifier! Based on the tonal structure of

takes you from the slight overdrive of the ‘60s to
today’s super-charged modified Twin® for chunky
rhythm and screaming solos. With the Classic's powerful
EQ controls and switchable mid boost, you can dial in the
tone that lets your playing style shine through!
Tube distortion based
around the tone of a modified
Plexi double-stack. With a powerful
2-band EQ, unique voicing and contour
controls, the Hot British is set to unleash
three generations of British power-rock
mayhem for stinging solos, scooped mids and
power metal without ever losing definition or getting
muddy. God save the Queen!
Imagine... a 2x12 open back for
clean and a 4x12 for crunch.
