TUBES
The Tone-Master tube complement consists of 4 Fender special design 5881/6L6WGC’s (part#
039214), and 3 Fender special design 12AX7A’s (part#023572). Fender’s special design tubes pro-
vide optimum performance in this amplifier. For best performance, replace with Fender special design
tubes. Tube life varies with playing style and application, but for best tone, tubes should be changed
after every 500 hours of use. Tube location is printed on the tube label, inside the cabinet.
TOLEX COVERING CARE
DO NOT have the amplifier plugged into a power outlet when cleaning. The Tolex covering on your
cabinet may be cleaned periodically with a sponge and a light soapy solution. Be careful to not let liq-
uid come in contact with operating surfaces.
TROUBLESHOOTER’S CHECKLIST
If the amp is set up but does not function, check the following items:
-Is the amp power cord properly plugged into an electrical outlet?
-Is there power at the outlet?
-Is the fuse blown?
-is the speaker(s) properly connected to the amplifier?
-Is the amp on standby?
-Are the amplifier VOLUME, TREBLE, MID and BASS controls above 0?
-Is the instrument volume control turned up?
-Is the A/B switch selecting the proper channel? (Try A and B)
-Is the instrument plugged into the amplifier?
(Eliminate any effects pedals and try another guitar cord.)
Check under all tube covers to see that the tube filaments are glowing a dull orange. If, after
checking all of the above, the system is not performing correctly, consult your Fender autho-
rized service center.
