K. CHANNEL SELECT 

- When this button is

pressed, the amp switches from the NORMAL 
channel to the DRIVE channel.

L. MASTER 

- Adjusts the overall volume of the

DRIVE channel .

M. REVERB

- Adjusts the amount of reverb present

in both the NORMAL and DRIVE Channels.

N. PRESENCE

- Adjusts the amount of very high 

frequencies present in both the NORMAL and
DRIVE Channels.

O. PREAMP OUT

-  This unbalanced jack provides

an output signal from the preamp and is pre-reverb.
It may be used to drive effects units in an effects
loop, to drive additional amplifiers in a multi-amp set
up, or as a preamp send to a mixing console.

P. POWER AMP IN 

- This unbalanced jack provides

a return from your effects units and is pre-reverb.  This
jack can also be used as a power amp input.

Q. FOOTSWITCH (INCLUDED) 

- Plug-in connection

for the remote footswitch to select between the
NORMAL and DRIVE channels and to select "More
Drive".  Using the footswitch overrides the front
panel select buttons. 

NOTE: Any good quality patch

cord will work with the remote footswitch, however, a
speaker grade cord is preferable to a coax guitar cord.

R. PILOT JEWEL

- Illuminates if the Hot Rod

Deluxe is receiving power.  Should this bulb burn
out, turn off and unplug the amplifier, unscrew the
red jewel and replace the lamp with a type T47 bulb.

S. STANDBY SWITCH 

- Turns the amplifier on and

off.  In the STANDBY position, the amplifier is off.
When the "On/Off" switch (item T) is turned on,
power is supplied to the tube filaments eliminating
warm-up time.  Using the STANDBY SWITCH during
short breaks versus using the on/off switch will
increase tube life.

T.  POWER SWITCH

- Turns the AC power ON

and OFF.  When the amplifier is in the OFF position,
the amplifier is completely shut down.
