Radial Engineering Headbone Owner’s Manual
Why is this setup so cool? Because it truly covers all of the bases: the
powerful clean sound from a 100-Watt amp is radically different than an
all-tube 30-Watt amp cranked to 10. Not just as far as loudness goes,
but also as far as tone. Being able to use that reserve power for blister-
ing solos can make a huge difference. Best of all, you only have to carry
around a single speaker cabinet - a luxury that is best appreciated at two
in the morning after the gig!

This is the point: with the Headbone in your rig, you are now able to specify
which amplifier you will use for a particular song or passage. You do not
have to compromise. And you do not have to carry around two amp-stacks
to get there. Yes, finally a device that adds tonal flexibility while reducing
the amount of equipment you bring to the gig!
