Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
CabClone is a passive cabinet simulator with a built-in amp load for taking an amplifier’s speaker output directly to a mixing console, microphone preamp, or converters. It can be used with or without a speaker cabinet connected to the amplifier, making it useful when you need a direct signal in the studio or elsewhere in the chain. Its compensated headphone driver provides an amp-tone version for private playing, including late-night sessions. It is designed for amplifiers rated at 150 watts or less at 8 ohms.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Sending an amplifier’s speaker output directly to a mixing console, microphone preamp, or converters.
- Late-night practice through the compensated headphone driver when others should not hear the amplifier.
- Capturing a direct amplifier signal with or without a live speaker cabinet connected.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Amplifiers rated above 150 watts at 8 ohms.
