if you are looking for a little more power 

amp breakup. 

 

NOTE:

 Keep in mind, especially 

when playing live with the band, your 

amp will only go as loud as your power 

setting will allow. if you find you need to 

be louder, be sure to increase the WATTS 

knob instead of the volume. If you have 

the WATTS knob too low, turning up the 

VOLUME control will only result in more 

distortion, not more volume.

19) TUBE MIX: 

This is one of the neatest 

features on the Rebel 30. Inside the amp 

you will find a pair of EL84 tubes AND a 

pair of 6V6 tubes. This unique knob allows 

you to select a tone with a more “British 

bark” by rotating the knob all the way to 

the EL84 side. Setting the knob all the 

way clockwise brings out the smoother, 

creamier tone of the 6V6 tubes. If that 

alone wasn’t enough, you can also blend 

the tubes together for a unique combina-

tion of the two giving you a tonal range 

not found in other amps. 

 

NOTE:

 When the knob is all the way 

to the EL84 or 6V6 end of the control, the 

maximum power output is about 20 watts. 

Setting the control around 12:00 creates a 

unique mix of the tubes and also ups the 

power to 30 watts. 

20) PILOT LED:

 Cool blue color.

21) STANDBY SWITCH:

 In the cen-

ter (STANDBY) position, the Rebel is 

warmed up and ready to go instantly when 

switched to PLAY or SILENT RECORD. 

Move the switch to the PLAY position for 

live performance. The SILENT RECORD 

mode is a great feature that allows you 

mute the speaker output(s) and automati-

cally connect the internal load resistor. 

This lets you to record directly from the 

RECORD LINE OUT on the rear without 

having to listen to the speaker(s). Perfect 

for late night recording when the family is 

asleep.
