The programming process in steps:
Copying:
1. Select the desired MIDI program (also called a preset or patch) using a MIDI foot
board connected to the amp's
(44).
2. Select the desired preamp channel (

features as required, configuring

as you please. All programmable functions are designated as such in their descriptions
herein. Hint: settings on the SWM control panel are not programmable.
3. The Status LED flashes to indicate you have edited one or several settings.
4. Press and hold the Write/Copy button (35) for about one second until the Status
LED extinguishes, and then flashes three times in rapid succession. The selected
preamp channel and the current settings of all programmable functions are now
stored in the selected MIDI patch.
1. Select the desired MIDI preset using a MIDI foot board connected to the amp's
(44) port. This is the preset that you want to copy, which is why in geek-speak it is
called the "source."
2. Press the Copy/Write button briefly. It is essential that during this routine you do not
change the settings of programmable functions in the selected source preset. That
Status LED lights up continuously to indicate that
is activated.
3. Select the target preset via the MIDI foot board; you have approx. 30 seconds to do
this. (The amp automatically quits Copy mode 30 seconds after it is activated.)
4. Press and hold the Write/Copy button (35) until the Status LED extinguishes, and
then flashes three times in rapid succession. The current settings of all programmable
functions and the current preamp channel stored in the source MIDI patch (that's the
preset you selected first when you activated
) have now been dumped to the
newly selected target preset.
Keep the amp safe from hard knocks and shocks. Tubes are fragile and tend to suffer
when exposed to mechanical stress!
Let the amp cool down before you transport it. Ten 10 minutes or so will do to spare
the tubes.
Tubes take some 20 seconds to warm up after you switch the power on, and about
two to three minutes before they are able to pump out full power. Make a habit of
giving your amp plenty of time to get toasty and of flipping the Standby switch for
short breaks.

Handling and Care:
In order to spare the power tubes and prolong their lifetime, we recommend to set the
Stand By switch to Stand By (0
) before you switch the amp on. After a period
of 30 seconds you may activate the poweramp by flipping the Stand By switch.
