WARNING:
The output marked ‘1x16 Ohm’ should never be used at the same
time as any of the outputs marked ‘1x8 Ohm or 2x16 Ohm’ or ‘1x4 Ohm or 2x8
Ohm’ outputs. The outputs marked ‘1x8 Ohm or 2x16 Ohm’ or ‘1x4 Ohm or 2x8
Ohm’ outputs should never be used at the same time. Failure to correctly match the
impedance of the amplifier and speakers will damage the amplifier.
5. Emulated Output Mono Balanced XLR Socket
This output emulates the tonal characteristics of a guitar speaker cabinet and
provides a natural valve overdrive tone for connection to a recording device or
mixing desk. Using a good quality screened lead, the balanced XLR connection
provides a high quality signal free of noise.
6. Emulated Output Stereo Jack Socket
This output emulates the tonal characteristics of a guitar speaker cabinet and provides
a natural valve overdrive tone for connection to a recording device or mixing desk.
Always use a good quality screened lead. The stereo jack socket accommodates
connection of headphones to this output, allowing you to practice silently.
NOTE:
Both the XLR and Stereo Emulated outputs remain active even when in
Standby mode. This allows for silent recording or practice when the amplifier is in
Standby, regardless of any connected speaker.
7. Emulated Output Cabinet Switch
The switch enables you to select either a 4x12 closed back or a 1x12 open back
cabinet emulation for the Speaker Emulated Output. This will apply to both the
balanced XLR and stereo jack outputs.

8. Reverb Dark/Light
With the switch in the ‘out’ position (Dark) the reverb is voiced to have a warm
‘room’ quality. Set to the ‘in’ position (Light), the reverb is voiced to have a bright,
airy quality, typical of a ‘plate’ style reverb. The setting chosen will apply to all
channels and voices.
9. Effects Loop Level
The Effects Loop Level switch sets the effects loop to 4dBV/-10dBV, which
enables you to use it with either professional equipment (+4dBV setting), or with
guitar level effects such as effects pedals (-10dBV setting).
10. Effects Loop Return
Connect the (mono) output of an external effects unit here.
11. Effects Loop Send
Connect the (mono) input of an external effects unit here.
12. 5-Way Footcontroller Socket
The optional 5-way FS-14 footcontroller (not supplied), is connected here. This
footcontroller enables instant access to all channels and voices, plus the global
boost function and Reverb switching. This should be connected to your amplifier
using the cable provided with the FS-14. Alternatively a good quality shielded guitar
cable may be used.
Pressing a Channel button on the footcontroller once will select the relevant channel.
Pressing the currently selected channel will toggle its voice. The previously selected
Voice will be retained for each Channel when switching to it. The Boost switch will
provide a 6dB volume boost that can be applied to any Channel and Voice, and the
Reverb switch will turn the effect on and off for all channels.
13. 2-Way Footswitch Socket
The supplied 2-way footswitch is connected here. The FS-15 footswitch enables
the selection of the Clean Channel’s two voices, and a chosen Voice from each
Overdrive Channel.
Pressing the Channel switch on the FS-15 will toggle between the Clean Channel
and an Overdrive Channel. When the Clean Channel is selected, pressing the Voice
switch on the FS-15 will toggle between the two Clean voices. When an Overdrive
Channel is selected, pressing the Voice switch on the FS-15 will toggle between
OD 1 and OD 2.
The Voice selection for OD 1 and OD 2 can still be operated from the front panel
and the amplifier will retain the chosen Voice when switching between channels.
If the supplied FS-15 footswitch is unavailable then a generic 2-way latching
footswitch with TRS jack connection can be used.
EXTERNAL SWITCHING MODE:
This mode is intended for people who wish to
control the same main features of the amp using an external switching device that
connects via the TRS connection of the socket.
