Warning
The TBX series guitar amp's headphone output produces a large volume of
sound. Ensure that the volume has been turned down before beginning to play
using the headphones, and then slowly increase the volume until it has reached
the desired level. Note that the noise and distorted sound signals produced
when inserting or removing the plug at high volume levels will not only result in
damage to the headphones, it may also result in damage to the user’s hearing.

tem.
Use 8
Ω or 4 Ω speaker system(s). For the output ratings, refer to the specifica-
tions at the end of this manual.
* Note: Using speaker system(s) with an impedance below 4
Ω
will make the power
amp overheat, causing the protection circuit to operate so that the correct out-
put will not occur.
