Sound Performance Labs


No matter Watt.
The Cabulator ($1,290) combines three main features for guitar amplifiers: power soak, speaker simulation, and DI output. Thanks to the variable power soak you can play any amp loud without being loud – with headphones even inaudible if necessary. The fully analogue design gives the guitarist a direct zero latency response with an authentic punch. Even the most subtle guitar amp nuances are reproduced as precisely preserving harmonics structures and dynamic cabinet response.

Play loud without being loud.
With the Transducer ($1,840) a dream comes true: you can play loud without being loud! The ultimate DI solution for guitar amps is the first full alternative to cabinet miking that really rocks. Via headphones you can play inaudibly while the Transducer delivers authentic sounds including the finest nuances of your guitar amp. Pure, high-quality analogue design produces the same load as a cabinet and guarantees direct response with latency-free processing. On stage all problems with loud cabs and complex mikings are avoided.
