REAR CONTROL PANEL
MAINS IN
AC terminal with integrated fuse compartment for connection to the mains power supply
FOOTSWITCHES
Sockets for the footswitches that are used to switch between the two channels, Lead
Boost on/off, and reverb, and to switch between the two output volumes (MASTER 1 and
MASTER 2). These are both stereo sockets. Don't use momentary (unlatch) switches,
please use latching switches.
EFF. SEND & EFF. RETURN
Sockets to implement the effects loop. Connect the input of the effects device to the
SEND socket and its output to the RETURN socket. This is a parallel effects loop and the
Wet/Dry balance can be controlled using the EFFECT MIX rotary control.
EFFECT MIX
When using the FX Loop the EFFECT MIX allows you to dial in the desired amount of effected
signal into your overall sound. Turning the control fully clockwise will result in a fully effected
sound, i.e. no dry signal and turning the control fully counter-clockwise will result in a fully dry
sound. When no effects are connected please turn it fully counter-clockwise.
SPEAKER OUT
Socket for the connection of speaker cabinets. Two sockets are provided, both of them are
internally switched parallel.
IMPEDANCE
Selector switch used to match the impedance to the connected speakers. (see also under
'Powering Up').
POWERING UP
1. Make sure that one (or more) loudspeaker cabinet(s) are connected to the SPEAKER OUT socket, that it (they) has (have)
an adequate power handling capability and is (are) suitable for guitar signals. Check that the impedance selector switch
2. Make sure that the device is plugged in to the mains and that any external (effects) devices are correctly connected and
operation ready.
3. Turn the MASTER control all the way to the left
4. Connect your guitar to the INPUT of the amplifier using a screened cable.
5. Turn the device on using the POWER switch.
6. When the valve(tube) warm-up phase is complete, turn the STANDBY switch on (upwards).
7. Set the desired volume using the MASTER control.
8. To obtain the desired sound for each channel, select the channel and adjust the controls. (See further under the heading
"Example Settings").
To familiarize yourself first of all with the basic sound of the amplifier, set all the rotary controls to 12 o'clock.
CONCLUDING ADVICE
- This amplifier is capable of generating high volume levels that can cause hearing damage
- At high GAIN settings, feedback between the guitar and the speakers may occur and this can cause hearing damage as
well as damage to connected loudspeakers.
- Remove the power cord whenever changing a fuse!
- Only ever replace a fuse with another of the same type. Never bridge defective fuses.
- Valves can become very hot.
- Don't undertake repairs yourself.
- Only allow the case to be opened by qualified personnel.
- Repairs and valve changes should only be undertaken by qualified personnel.
- Never use floor pedal effects in the effects loop; as such devices have the wrong connection values.
