Chapter One: Safety and Warranty
1.1
Safety Warnings
We would like to stress the importance of the following points, for reasons of
your personal safety, product longevity and product liability.
•
Do not use the amplifier in or near wet locations
•
Do not store the amplifier in damp or wet locations
•
Do not operate the Amplifier on voltages other than those designated on
the rear panel of the amplifier.
•
Do not open the panels of the amplifier. No user serviceable parts inside.
Your Herbert operates on very high internal voltages, which may still be present
after the Amplifier has been turned off and disconnected for a while.
•
Do not use the Amplifier for anything other than its design purpose: To
Amplify Electric Guitar Signals!
•
Do not use fuses other than those intended and specified for the amplifier
•
Do not use 2-conductor extension cords or anything other than 3-pole g
rounded outlets for this Appliance. Your life may depend on it!
Please observe the following points when transporting your Herbert:
Herbert is a
Tube Powered Amplifier
; therefore it is sensitive to
shock
, especially
after playing the amplifier for a while. Please store and transport your amplifier
gently, and try and avoid temperature extremes in storage, which might cause
condensation resulting in moisture on internal components. Usually a 60 Minute
acclimatization period is sufficient to ensure safe operation.
The Amplifier should be stored in a controlled environment, and it should be
transported in a suitable flight case. Make sure the Amplifier gets transported in
its normal operating position, not upside down or on its side.
The Herbert’s Design incorporates a very potent power amplifier. It is configured
to deliver satisfying guitar tone at most volume levels, from a small bedroom to a
large arena. In its normal operational volume level (75-80dB) it will provide
beautiful tones with very little coloration. For reasons of your own personal
health, please do not run the amplifier above these levels for extended periods of
time without wearing hearing protection. Hearing Loss is a long -term problem,
and is normally not curable.
