and the level turned down. 

5.  Check speaker cable to see if it is 

disconnected or shorted. 

6.  Make sure that the impedance selector is 

fully engaged in its detent.

set to the proper impedance. 

3.  Power tubes may be under-biased (refer to 

qualified service personnel). 
 

DISTORTION/LOSS OF POWER 

1. Check the speakers. 
2. Check the speaker cable for shorts. 
3. Check the impedance setting. 
4. Bypass effects connected to the loop. 
5. Power tubes may be over-biased (refer to 
qualified service personnel). 
 

NO HEADROOM ON CLEAN SOUNDS 

1.  Global Master Volume set too low. 
2.  Check power tubes (SEE ABOVE).
