Chapter Eight: Footswitch
The optional Columbus footswitch can be connected via the rear
panel mounted XLR jack. The Columbus will not recognize functions
selected from the front panel.
Chapter Nine: Maintenance and Cleaning
9.1 Cleaning
Never use a wet method of cleaning the amplifier, i.e.
any
amplifier.
Usually it is sufficient to wipe down the outside of the amp with a
slightly moist cleaning rag. Do not use abrasive cleaning chemicals.
Sometimes a vacuum cleaner can be used to remove dust and dirt
from nooks and crevices. Do not remove the chassis from the housing
to clean the amp. The inside of your amp carries dangerous voltages.
9.2 Care
Be gentle with this amplifier. Any mechanical shocks and wide
temperature changes, moisture-rich environments and extreme
conditions (dust, wind, heat, cold, moisture) can substantially shorten
tube life, in some cases, even amplifier life.
Do not block the air circulation grilles in the front and in the back of
the amp. Do not push the amp right up against objects that would
interfere with its normal airflow. The top of the amplifier might get
warm after prolonged use, this is normal, but will melt your ice cream
and definitely ruin your beer. Never put beverages on top of the amp
where they could spill and flow inside the amplifier. You’ll hate it if this
happens, guaranteed!
