to each of the two channels and also the mixing of the 
dry/effect signals, i.e. chorus on “normal” and delay on 
“overdrive” etc. Another thing to remember is that the DFX 
system outputs the signals in stereo which when fed into 
the twin power amps and speakers gives a very wonderful

AUX  IN

  –  This  socket  accepts  the  stereo  output  of  a 

MP3/CD player, or any other auxiliary input device such 
as a rhythm drum machine. Please use a standard 3.5mm

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. 
On  the  AG80DFX  the  headphone  output  is  fed  from 
an  intricate  active  speaker  emulating  filter  network  to 
produce a more accurate “guitar speaker” sound through 
headphones.  This  circuit  is  placed  before  the  power

switching to Mute gives you silent performance.

POWER  SWITCH  AND  INDICATOR

  –  The  power 

switch  and  its  associated  “ON”  indicator  controls  the 
mains  electricity  supply  into  your  amplifier.  It  is  “best 
practise” to turn your amplifier OFF when not using it, if 
for no better reason than not using the power and helping 
to protect the environment! The markings of “0” and “1” 
comply with international standards – 0=off, 1=on.

A WORD OF ADVICE

 about fuses – if a fuse blows it is 

usually for a very good reason, it could be anything from a 
voltage spike on the mains power, to a serious malfunction 
of  your  amplifier.  Fuses  are  there  for  your  protection  – 
treat them with respect, and never replace with the wrong 
value.
