10 On/Bypass button

 – Selects between true bypass and whichever channel has 

been selected by the Channel button.

Explanation of Controls

Back Panel 

1 Input Jack

 – Plug your guitar in here

2 Output Jack 

– Provides the output signal. Connect to the input of a guitar amp, 

power amp or other device here. 

3 Power Jack 

– This is where you connect the provided wall-mounted power supply 

(“wall wart”) to the Twin Tube Blue. Note: it is a 16 VAC/600mA unit. Do not try to 

substitute a DC power supply or another AC supply with a different voltage value 

or current rating. If you lose your transformer or if it breaks, contact an authorized 

Seymour Duncan dealer for a replacement. As an alternative, for North America and 

Japan, you can order a 16 VAC/600mA transformer from Digi-Key (www.digikey.

com). The part numbers for each common voltage is as follows:

North America: 

120 Volt/60Hz – Digi-Key part # MT7123-ND

Europe and Asia:

 230 Volt/50Hz – Seymour Duncan part # 352301-230 (no 

known off-the-shelf replacements available)

Japan Only: 

100 Volt/50Hz – Digi-Key part # MT7127-ND (note: this 

transformer is rated by the manufacturer as 20 Volt/450mA output with 120 Volt 

input, but will produce the proper output voltage and current when coupled to a 

100 Volt mains supply)
