The Chameleon Amplification System is a unique musical instrument amplification system that works well with any Instrument and Vocals. This System consists of The 8” Chameleon Powered Speaker and a 2 channel preamp which combines a solid state channel with everything needed for a microphone and acoustic instruments. Channel 1 offers stunning clarity to assist in shaping your sound without sacrificing your instrument's natural tone. Channel 2 is a Clean Tube Channel based off of the Fender Black Face Amplifier which is great for use with electric guitars and acoustic instruments as well. tHE cHAMELEON sPEAKER COMES PREPROGRAMMED BY ME WITH 8 PRESETS BUT WITH THE AVAILABLE SOFTWARE FOR PC YOU CAN CHANGE, ADD OR COME UP WITH WHATEVER PRESETS WORK FOR YOU. The Chameleon Amplification system has a remote design. You can use the preamp next to you and have the speaker at a distance or place the preamp on top of the speaker for a compact combo setup. I designed the system to be extremely versatile so that each component works great on its own. The preamp can be used with other amplifiers or run through a P.A. System using the Balanced OuT and Speaker Simulator or with other powered speakers and guitar amplifiers. The Chameleon Speaker can be used with other Amplifiers or Amp Simulators like the Headrush and the Axe Fx 8. You can even run your recorded music through it from your devices with the available bluetooth adapter for playing music at home or during your break at gigs. The best thing about this combo is it does it all: both acoustic and electric instruments, vocals and recorded music… they all sound amazing through this setup. Don’t take my word for it. Check out the video which features a little bit of everything so you can hear it in action.

8” CHAMELEON SPEAKER PRESETS

full range: optimal frequency response low to high 50hz to 20,000 hz best for when speaker is on a stand
high pass filter 60hz: use to reduce extreme low end when on a chair
high pass filter 80 hz: reduces low end more than #2, useful when speaker is on the floor
high passfilter 100 hz: reduces low end even further, also useful when speaker is on the floor
high pass filter 80 hz and low pass filter 6,500 hz
high pass filter 80 hz and low pass filter 5,000 hz
high pass filter 80 hz and low pass filter 4,500 hz
low pass filter 4,000 hz, no high pass filter

high pass filter allows highs to pass through and rolls off lows at designated hz

low pass filter allows lows to pass throuh and rolls off highs at designated hz

preset 1 is full range useful for acoustic instruemnts, vocals, keyboards, etc

the power con plug slides in and twists to lock. shut off power switch on the amp to plug and unplug

set the volume on the speaker all the way up. only turn down if you are using a device that has a higher output that overdrives the speaker

amplifier in the speaker will run on anything from 80 to 240 volts. this is really nice if working in a club where the voltage may drop due to overload of equipment on the circuit or with long extension lines
