AMPLISONIC v8 ROADSTER 30W User Manual Download Page 3

30W / 15W Switch

If you want to half the output power switch this to 15W position. You can also use 6V6 tubes in 15W position to get 

different sound. WARNING! don’t use 6V6 in 30W position as it will boil your tubes.

In 30W position you can also use 6L6 tubes. Because both tubes have separate cathode resistors you can also try to 

combine EL-34 and 6L6 tubes or take out one tube to get 6-20W output.

Effect Loop

You can connect external effects in parallel or serial. By setting the PAR/SER -switch to SER position the signal flows 

through external effects only and in PAR position part of the signal is routed to power amp also. Connect  SEND to effects 

input and RET to effects output. If you are not using effect loop keep the PAR/SER switch in PAR -position as it send full 

signal to the power amp.

CH F.SW Jack

By connecting your footswitch to this jack you can change the FET/TUBE channel. When using footswitch keep the front 

panel switch in TUBE position.
