1)  AC INLET and FUSE: 

Connect a 

universal IEC type power cord. Be sure the 

proper value fuse is installed that matches 

the ratings as indicated for your country on 

the rear panel.

2)  AC VOLTAGE SELECTOR: 

Makes 

the Renegade compatible with the line 

voltage in any country. Proper setting of 

this switch is absolutely critical. Be sure 

the switch position matches the line voltage 

in your country. Severe damage will result 

from improperly setting this switch and will 

void your warranty, as well as destroy your 

amp. To change the setting, loosen (DO 

NOT REMOVE) the two screws securing 

the plastic safety cover strip over the switch. 

Swing the cover aside. Using a small screw-

driver, slide the switch to the proper setting. 

Replace the cover and retighten the screws. 

Be sure to install the proper value fuse.

3)  FOOTSWTICH (BEIGE PLUG): 

The Renegade footswitch cable fans out 

into two ¼” plugs at the amplifier end of the 

cable. The Beige color plug goes in here to 

match the Beige color ring around the jack.

4)  FOOTSWITCH (BLACK PLUG): 

Take a guess what plugs in here. You are 

correct. It is the Black plug on the end of the 

footswitch cable.

5)  BIAS SECTION (5, 6, 7, 8, 9,10 & 

11): 

This group of technical looking stuff is 

very cool as you will discover later in the 

manual. See the section on “BIAS”.

12)  IMPEDANCE SWITCH:

 Set this 

switch to match the IMPEDANCE of 

your    speakers. The proper setting for the 

Renegade 1x12 is 16 ohms. The setting for 

the Renegade 2x12 is 8 ohms and 4x10 is 8 

ohms. The proper setting for the Renegade 

Head is to match whatever your speaker 

impedance is.

13)  MAIN SPEAKER OUTPUT: 

Labeled 

“USE FIRST” because you must use this 

jack….FIRST. There is a special circuit 

inside the Renegade that helps protect the 

amplifier from damage in case you forget 

to plug in the speakers and attempt to play. 

As we all know, NEVER operate a tube 

amplifier without a proper speaker load con

-

nected…but we didn’t have to tell you that 

did we ? 

14)  EXTENSION SPEAKER OUTPUT:

 

Used for connected an external speaker to 

the combo or when a second speaker cabinet 

is used with the head. Since the MAIN 

speaker output in labeled USE FIRST, it 

would be reasonable to assume this jack 

could be labeled USE SECOND, which 

would be correct. See the section later in this 

manual for proper connection and IMPED-

ANCE SWITCH settings for different 

speaker arrangements.

15)  RECORD LINE OUT: 

This is an ac-

tive, balanced “cabinet simulated” output for 

direct connection to the mic input on your 

mixer for recording or live sound. It effec-

tively eliminates the need to place a micro-

phone in front of the speaker. The frequency 

response of this output closely mimics the 

sound of a mic’d speaker cabinet. Using this
