for around 1 minute and then turn on the Stand By switch. You can now plug your guitar in.
Every time the amp is turned on, it will automatically select the Clean channel. Twist the Master
Volume knob to the 9 o'clock position and PLAY! Run through the three channels using the
black channel selection buttons on the front panel to hear the different tones.
Plug the speaker cord (supplied with the unit) into the Speaker 1 output. Check the

(18/19) Speaker Jacks
Any cabinet with 4, 8 or 16 ohm impedance can be connected to the two parallel-wired
speaker outputs. If both speaker jacks are used the total load must be minimum 4 ohms and
maximum 16 ohms. Connect speakers with unshielded speaker cable only..
(20) Impedance Selector Switch
Select 4, 8 or 16 ohm impedance: use this switch to match your amp impedance to the cabi-
net(s) you are using. When connecting two 8-ohm cabinets, remember to set the switch to 4
ohms, whereas, when using two 16-ohm cabinets, set the impedance to 8 ohms.
(Please continue reading until the end of the next page). You can now connect
the FS-1 foot-switch (supplied with the unit) to the 9-pole D-SUB connector on
