A.C. MAINS
IEC cable inlet – plug a suitable IEC power cable into this inlet to power your amplifier
BIAS CHECK
DMM probe jacks – see Section 5 (page 12) for a thorough explanation on their use and biasing
HALF POWER
two-way toggle switch. Use this switch to reduce the output power of the amplifier from 100W to 50W. Doing
so will slightly reduce volume, and change the feel and response of the amplifier slightly. Experiment for best results!
SPEAKER OUTPUT
¼” speaker cable jacks. Use a ¼” speaker cable to connect your speaker cabinet to the amplifier using
these jacks. If you use one speaker cabinet, use the jack labeled MAIN. If you want to run two cabinets in parallel, connect the
second cabinet to the amplifier using the jack labeled EXTENSION.
NOTE
– never turn your amplifier to OPERATE mode without connecting the amplifier to a speaker cabinet or suitable dummy
load! Failing to do so may damage your amplifier!
IMPEDANCE
three-way rotary selector. Set this selector to the position that matches the impedance of your speaker cabinet.
NOTE
– if you are using two speaker cabinets in parallel (ex – two 16 Ohm cabinets), set the impedance selector to half that of
a single cabinet (in this case, 8 Ohms).
EFFECTS LOOP RETURN
¼” instrument jack can be used to directly interface the power amp of the SSS, thereby bypassing
the preamp and using the amplifier as a power amplifier. Conversely, this is usually used as the RETURN of the effects loop.
Plug the output of your effects unit, or interface device (ex – C-lator, Klein-ulator) into this jack using ¼” instrument cable. The
effects loop in the SSS amplifier is all passive, like the originals.
EFFECTS LOOP SEND
¼” instrument jack can be used to directly interface the preamp of the SSS, thereby bypassing the
power amplifier and using the SSS as a preamp. Conversely, this is usually used as the SEND of the effects loop. Plug the
input of your effects unit, or interface device (ex – C-lator, Klein-ulator) into this jack using ¼” instrument cable. The effects
loop in the SSS amplifier is all passive, like the originals. If only using the preamp of the SSS, the amplifier still must be
connected to a suitable speaker or passive load.
