QUICK GUIDE
Please at least read this section before using your new amplifier. We then recommend reading the rest of the manual
so you can get the most out of this very sophisticated unit.
Before applying power:
1) When setting up, ensure that the amplifier speaker output is connected to your speaker enclosure with a good
quality speaker cable (do not use a normal shielded instrument cable) and that the Impedance switch on the rear
panel is set to the correct setting. The impedance of your enclosure will be marked on the back: 4, 8 or 16 Ohm. If
you are using two enclosures of equal impedance rating connected together or connected separately back to the
amplifier, then set the impedance switch to the setting that is half the individual value . Therefore, if using two 8 Ohm
enclosures, then set the switch to 4 Ohm.
2) Before connecting the supplied IEC line cord make sure the Power and Standby switches are in their down
(off) position.
3) Connect the footcontroller with the supplied 8 pin DIN cable to FOOT/IN on the rear of the amp, and connect
your guitar to the HIGH Input with a good quality shielded instrument cable.
FRONT PANEL FUNCTIONS: WHAT THEY DO AND HOW TO USE THEM
(1) High Gain
(2) Medium Gain
Use ¼" jacks for connecting to your guitar, or to the output of the last effects pedal if any are used before
the amp.
is high impedance and high sensitivity. This will be the most common input to use. This puts the full
level of your guitar into the channels, therefore allowing the highest gain.
is medium impedance and medium sensitivity. This can be used if less gain is required if using
an active guitar (battery powered) or if the guitar signal has already been boosted by an external device.
It features an attenuator that reduces the input signal by ~10dB.
Preamp Channels
There are three completely independent all-tube preamp channels. Keeping them completely
independent means that we did not have to compromise the tone on any channel for the sake of another.
Although initially the array of the numerous controls may seem intimidating, these are actually arranged
identically for each channel. Therefore you will soon get used to which control to go to for adjusting a
particular part of the sound on that channel.
Apart from separate eq, reverb, presence and resonance controls, each channel also features an 'Over-
Boost' control. The Over-Boost circuit is a footswitchable tube-driven stomp box style gain boost applied
before each preamp stage.
