70 LEVEL
Signal level control for the frequency-corrected line output; use it to match the amp’s signal level at the
Line output to the mixing console or recorder’s input.
Tip:
The Line Out's output level is influenced by the following factors: 1. in the PREAMP setting, by the input
level (Gain, Crunch, Lead), the Volume control settings for the various channels and to some degree by
voicing control settings. 2. in the Poweramp setting, as above with the addition of the Master settings.
First dial in the desired sound combination at the front panel. Then adjust levels for FX devices and signal
processors (if connected). Now use the Level control to adjust the level. The Line output is not overloaded
until the Overload LED illuminates brightly and continuously. You can push the level up to this point to
match a mixer desk's or recorder's input level requirement. Use the respective device's input sensitivity or
gain control to fine-tune level adjustments.
71 LINE OUT STATUS
Selects the Line output mode. Off position: the Line signal is routed from the poweramp output, (Stand By
activated!), On position (pushed in): the Line signal is routed from the SAVAGE 's preamp.
Tip:
The SAVAGE's preamp and power amp supply two different signals: The Presence control, the Depth
Boost switch, the power tubes and the output transformer in the power amp stage influence the final tone.
You may need to adjust the voicing controls at your amp, mixer desk or recorder when identical tones are
desirable.
72 OVERLOAD
This LED denotes the Line output is overloaded; in this case, reduce the signal’s level via the Level
control.
73 LINE OUT BALANCED & FREQU.-COMPENSATED
The frequency-corrected, balanced Line output jack (XLR). (Pin 2 and 3 signal, Pin 1 = N.C. ).
Its signal simulates a 4 x 12" speaker cabinet.
74 POWERAMP OUTPUT A; MASTER
Poweramp output A or Master output. You must connect a speaker cabinet to this jack before you
operate (activate) the poweramp.
IMPORTANT:
When you operate the amp with one cabinet (or even when you connect a combination
of cabinets), always connect the cabinet/cabinets to Output A/Master!
75 POWERAMP OUTPUT B
Output B of the poweramp. Select this output via the Speaker A/B pushbutton (21), when you have also
connected a cabinet to this output.
VERY IMPORTANT:
Never operate the power amp without a sufficient load, otherwise you may
damage or destroy the power amp! Make sure your cabinet's specifications match the respective output's
specs! Also make certain you have selected the proper impedance at the impedance selector! When
operating the amplifier with cabinets connected to Output A and Output B, ensure the cabinets or
speaker systems bear the same impedance at Output A and Output B: e.g. cabinet connected to Output
A = 8 ohms and cabinet connected to Output B = 8 ohms! If you want to feed a signal from the preamp
(e.g. via Line Out) without driving a speaker cabinet, ensure you switch the amp to Stand By (41) mode!
