Clean Settings
Fender Combo Amps with 3-knob
tone stacks
Most Fender combos with 3‐knob tone stacks are flat when the MID
is at maximum (full clockwise), the TREBLE is set to minimum (full
counter‐clockwise) and the BASS is set to about 8 o’clock.
Older Marshall Heads
Pre 1965 Marshall heads can be set “flat” when the BASS is at 4.5 (9
o’clock), the MID is at maximum (full clockwise and the TREBLE is at
3.5 (8 o’clock). Later Marshall heads have slightly different “flat”
settings.
Vox 2-Knob Tone Control Combos
Vox AC30 can be made close to flat by setting the BASS to 0.5 (8
0’clock) and the TREBLE to 1.0 (8:30 o’clock).

What are some quick tests to troubleshoot my unit?
16
Sometimes a few quick tests at home can be the difference between
thinking your unit is broken and getting it working properly. Here is a
list of quick trouble‐shooting steps to test your gear and unit. As
basic as these sound please run all the tests.
1.
Check simple signal chain: Plug your cable from
your guitar into your amp. If you have a direct
connect tone go to step 2. If not you have a
bad cable, guitar or amp.
2.
Check 2nd cable: Take your #2 cable and switch
it with the first cable. If you have sound, we
now know both cables, your guitar and amp,
work.
3.
Check power: Plug your amp into the same
outlet that you’re using to power your A/DA
product. If the amp turns on, then the outlet
works. If not try another outlet to power your
unit.
4.
Check native A/DA Signal Chain: Plug the #1
cable from your guitar into your A/DA product
(input). Plug the #2 cable between your A/DA
product (output) and into your amp. Make sure
the A/DA is plugged into a working power
source. DO NOT insert it in a pedal chain, i.e., do
not introduce any other pedals into the signal
chain. If your A/DA product works, your pedal
chain most likely has a problem. If you hear
nothing, then their may be a problem with your
individual unit. Please see the FAQ on how to
get an RA number.
