BEFORE YOU PLUG IN
In Before you plug in or use your amplifier please ensure you know how to correctly operate your unit. Incorrect operation or
installation may lead to undesirable results or unit failure which can be avoided by reading this guide.
Ventilation and Cooling
Important: All World Tour amplifiers have been designed to operate in the most demanding of conditions, to ensure your product
performs to the best level every time always ensure ventilation holes and cooling fans are unobstructed so that they can provide the
required airflow for the product. The cooling system design for World Tour Pro products means that fans on the product will only
operate when required.
Cabinet Impedance Selection
Important: To get the best from your amplifier always ensure that you match it with cabinets that of the right impedance. World Tour
Pro amplifiers are fitted with revolutionary new illuminated speaker outputs (powered units only) which provide indication of which
impedance cabinets to plug into which socket this is explained in more detail in the back panel segment of this document. To get the
full power from your amplifier you will need to operate it at a 4ohm load (8ohm Bridge Mono).
Operating with no load
All Eden World Tour Pro amplifiers can safely be used with no load as preamplifiers for studio recording or as pre amplifiers for tone
shaping before a power amplifier.
If you are ever unsure about the operation or correct use of a product please contact the store where you bought your amplifier, they will be more than
happy to provide advice and support.

EDEN | WTP SERIES | FRONT PANEL FEATURES - 7
PRODUCT FRONT PANEL FEATURES
(For WTP900, WTP600 and WTPre)
All World Tour Pro amplifiers are designed with the same front panel features. To understand what each feature does and how to use it
please follow the guide below.
World Tour Pro amplifiers are fitted with both active and passive inputs and an input gain control. This allows you to finely tune the
input signal and get the most out of your amplifier. If an instrument is plugged into both inputs both sockets behave as active inputs.
The Active inputs change the impedance and input level of the signal to compensate for modern high output bass instruments.
1. Active Input: Plug your active or high output instrument into the amplifier here.
2. Mute: Use this button to mute the amplifiers input (engages mute indicator LED).
3. Passive Input: Plug you non active or low output instrument in here.
4. Mute Indicator: This LED will illuminate when the input for the amplifier is muted. If a signal is played while in mute mode the light will
blink to let the user know that they are trying to play while in mute mode.
5. Input Gain: Fine tune the amount of signal sent to the preamp using this control. Use in conjunction with the input gain clip indicator to
get the best performance from your amplifier. When the Tube mode of the amplifier is in operation the input gain controls the amount
of Tube Gain applied to the signal.
6. Input Clip Indicator: This LED will illuminate when the input signal begins to clip. If clipping occurs slowly turn the input gain control to
the left until the clip light stays off. If the amber light periodically illuminates during playing but does not change to red this indicates you are
using the maximum amount of input signal achievable into the front of the amplifier.
AMBER: If the indicator illuminates amber this means you have clipped the input stage of the amplifier briefly but not for a
prolonged period of time. If the indicator operates only in the amber stage you are getting the maximum from the input stage of
the amplifier without causing undesirable clipping to your sound.
RED: When the indicator illuminates red it will stay on for at least 1 second or if playing continues to clip the input stage. If the
indicator shows red this means that it is likely the clipping that is occurring will be detrimental to your tone and you should lower
the level using the input gain control so that the clip light only reaches the Amber level described above.
