Warning
The TBX series guitar amp's headphone output produces a large volume of
sound. Ensure that the volume has been turned down before beginning to play
using the headphones, and then slowly increase the volume until it has reached
the desired level. Note that the noise and distorted sound signals produced
when inserting or removing the plug at high volume levels will not only result in
damage to the headphones, it may also result in damage to the user’s hearing.

amp overheat, causing the protection circuit to operate so that the correct out-
put will not occur.
