It provides a direct interface of your guitar amp's Speaker Output to the input of a mixing console, microphone preamp or even direct to your recording device, with or without the need for a speaker cabinet.

The new Mesa Boogie Cabclone is a passive Cabinet Simulator with a built-in Amp Load for amps rated at 100-watts or less.It provides a direct interface of your guitar amp's Speaker Output to the input of a mixing console, microphone preamp or even direct to your recording device, with or without the need for a speaker cabinet. It's also a Compensated Headphone Driver that delivers a great sounding, great feeling headphone-friendly version of your amp's tone that is perfect for late night practice sessions or anytime you want to play without disturbing others.
Think of all the applications a Cab Clone would come in handy:
- Late Night: Practicing using the headphone out
- Recording in a Studio (especially your Home studio where volume or acoustic properties may be an issue): Using the Direct Out and taking advantage of the Internal Amp Load feature (no cabinet required)
- Live Performance: In place of a microphone (one less microphone for signal to bleed into) using the Speaker Cab Out to still get the tone & feel on stage of your full rig
- Live Performance: In place of an IsoBox (ideal for the Church guitarist) - Your amp's line through the monitors or in ears - again, taking advantage of the Internal Amp Load feature (no cabinet required)
- Studio & Live Performance: In addition to a microphone, giving you the choice of the Cabclone Balanced Direct Out, the Mic or both for the ability to blend them (in real time or later) in a mix session
One quick note about the "Tilt-Back Stand" feature - It is easily removable by simply removing two screws and yes, the CabClone does have rubber feet.
More Details:Featuring an internal (resistive type) load that can also be defeated, the CabClone can be used to capture a direct signal either with or without a live speaker connected to the amplifier. When used with a Speaker (connected to the Rear Panel THRU jack) the dynamic content will be increased along with a slight increase in top end. Without a speaker connected the internal resistive load provides a very good representation of the amplifier's feel (considering it is a fixed impedance and does not change with frequency) and is rated for 100 Watts at 8 Ohms (Standard). The Cabclone is designed for amps rated at 100-Watts or less and the standard format is wired for a nominal impedance of 8 OHMs. Also available are 4 OHM and 16 OHM versions that allow proper impedance matching with other MESA's as well as non-MESA amplifiers. Using this internal load scenario, you can transform any amplifier into a powerful silent recording tool.
The Front Panel features an adjustable D.I. (Output) Level control that accommodates a wide range of destination input requirements ranging from Mic (-30dB) to Instrument/ Line (-10dB) to Pro LINE (+4dB) and anywhere in between. This adjustable pot allows you to fine tune the signal strength for virtually any kind of monitoring or recording environment.
A Phase Flip switch is provided as well to allow inverting of the phase 180 degrees when blending the Cabclone signal with other sources in recording or live environments.
The Front Panel Ground/Lift switch allows you to lift the Cabclone Balanced Direct Out XLR's Pin 1 (Ground), from the Circuit and Chassis Ground. In many cases this can remove annoying ground loops that can occur from grounded devices that have their own different ground reference when interfacing to consoles.
At the far right of the Front Panel there is a Voicing switch giving you three popular choices for the style of Speaker Cabinet simulated. The upper Closed Back position scoops the midrange and also allows more of the upper harmonic region through, simulating the response of a vintage-era British 4x12 cabinet loaded with 30 watt speakers. This response is often preferable for heavily saturated rhythm and/or lead work where you want a midrange scoop and a huge sonic spread (width). The center Open Back position takes the lid off a bit so the upper harmonics can shine through and provide a more open, three-dimensional sound with accentuated top end. This position works well for clean work and overdriven rhythm applications where a brighter, faster response is in order. The lower Vintage Cabinet position is the darkest, most compressed choice and offers the best response for single note soloing, especially when higher gain sounds are in use. This setting will keep lead work fat and round and free of buzzy gain artifacts.
Within these three selectable Voicing positions you'll find the ability to tune the Cabclone's response to work well for almost any sound style. Keep in mind that adding a live speaker to the THRU may affect the sound and the sound of these VOICING choices... possibly making things more reactive dynamically and perhaps brighter as well, depending on the speaker's inherent characteristics that you have chosen.

It's what'd you would expect
Size: 58.5mm Flat Base
I work in espresso professionally and got this as a tester for ergonomic purposes.
It does its job as a tamper and does level with little dusting from it being 58.5mm. The self leveling does work. However depending on my baskets (using vst now) it will.self level where the lowest part of the puck is handle side and highest.part opposite. Not an issue with the tamp but something to be mindful of. Works perfectly well on my gaggia setup...not so much commercial grade. The spring is adequate but i tend to tamp a bit harder on heavy weather days..
Build quality is fine but i would have rather used a regular style tamper.
Also palm tampers pretty much need to be self leveling based on the ergonomic nature.

Solidly constructed and has a premium, hefty weight
Size: 58.5mm
Works exactly as described. Can be a bit heavy but otherwise it is a premium built product. If you have too much coffee in your basket and they're near the rim of it, coffee can get stuck to the sides of the distributor. A little annoying but easily remedied by brushing the grounds back into the basket or by "flattening" the coffee grounds in the basket first prior to distributing.

Would purchase again
Size: 58.5mm Flat Base
Fits my Gemilai portafilter perfectly. Works as expected, but can be slightly unlevel in tamping. Has a tendency to push the coffee down more on the handle side of the basket. I try to make sure I apply pressure in the middle of the tamper and it seems to make all the difference.

used product, but works
Size: 58.5mm, Size: 58.5mm
The product is good, I was sent a was clearly looks to be a used product with scuffs on it and some rust, I can clean that up and for what it does, it'll do, just weird to receive a used product.

Great scale that needs some improvements to be perfect
Color: White, Color: White
Very accurate scale, looks good in white, timer works nicely and I do like the concept of the ratio conversion. Shown in photos with 0 measurement drift over time, even without the silicone mat.
To make this the best scale in the price range, I would change:
- The auto timer function. Timing currently stops if you pick up the brew to swirl; you must completely restart the process if you do happen to pick it up. I would change that to only stop on user input (pressing a button).
- The ratio conversion. Why offer XX.0 precision if you can only change the ratio in whole amounts? I'd suggest offering 0.1 increments, selectable with +/- buttons instead of cycling through.
- The silicone mat is not well affixed and slides around. Kind of useless as-is and I just keep it off. I would wrap the whole thing around the measurement platform, similar to how the Greater Goods scale does it, to really keep it secure.
It's not perfect, but for the price, it's a 4.5/5 for me. Rounding up to 5 since a 4 is considered "bad" by today's online rating standards.
