Frequently asked questions

Can I use these products together?

Yes. The Tri Mode Delay Engine is an effects pedal that would be placed in a guitar or bass signal chain before an amplifier head, and the Cub-112 cabinet would receive the amplifier's output. They serve different stages of the signal path.

Which is better for small venues and home studios?

Both suit small venues and studios, but for different reasons. The Cub-112 is a speaker cabinet optimized for intimate rooms with its 50W rating and open-back design. The Tri Mode Delay Engine is a effects processor that enhances any amplifier's tone in those settings.

What amplifier head pairs with the Cub-112?

The Cub-112 is rated for 50W at 8 Ohms, so it matches 50W tube or solid-state amplifier heads rated for 8 Ohm load. Check your amplifier's output wattage and impedance compatibility.

Is the Tri Mode Delay Engine portable for gigging?

Yes. At 150 × 121 × 59 mm and 600g, it is compact enough for any pedalboard and designed for both studio and live touring use according to its description.
