a properly screened “guitar” cable for interconnection.
There are many different makes of guitar cable available,
ranging from fairly inexpensive to ver y expensive.
Each have different characteristics, and depending on
your particular guitar will give different results, all very
confusing for the inexperienced! For instance, a “cheap”
cable with high capacitance (which would normally be

benefit for an overly bright single coil guitar by taming
the very high end frequencies. Alternatively, a very low
capacitance cable can help brighten up a muddy sounding
hum-bucker type guitar. If possible experiment to try and
find what suits you and your guitar best. Hopefully your

pedal system then the best advice is to use high quality,
low noise, low capacitance cable from pedals to amp
connection.

the next DRIVE control, it is pretty straightforward in use
– low settings are clean – mid settings are in the start
of distortion range – and high settings are the overdrive
range.
TREBLE, MIDDLE, BASS EQ –
The AG10 EQ
system is of the time-honoured passive guitar amp
system, as used by virtually all guitar amps even the very
greatest pro amps. This type of tone shaping is very wide
ranging and very versatile, although please remember it
is also very interactive so that each control also has an

– please start with these controls set to mid position.
VOLUME –
this quite simply controls the output of the
sound generated by the preamp, giving you the required
sound level and balance that you require.
AUX IN –

MP3/CD player, or any other auxiliary input device such
as a rhythm drum machine, for practise and learning

HP OUT –
This 3.5mm socket is the output to feed into
headphones for silent practise. Any standard 16 ohm
stereo headphones can be used, although as with all
things, the better the headphone the better the sound.
LOUDSPEAKER OUTPUT –
the output jack socket

Great sounds can be achieved using other guitar speaker
cabinets, especially running into a 4x12” cabinet. Using
a good speaker system brings out the very impressive
sound capabilities of the AG10, making it into a great
recording amp.
MAINS INPUT –
the mains input receptacle allows for
the connection of the mains power cord, and also houses
