INTRODUCTION

carefully and completely before operating your new amplifier.

1  

INPUT JACK

jack.  Always use an undamaged, shielded instrument cable.

2

   LEVEL LED INDICATOR

This LED lights when the instrument’s signal into the preamp 
approaches its clipping point (when it is starting to distort).  
Adjust the Gain control so that it only flashes occasionally.

GAIN CONTROL

This serves as an input level control.  For the best sound pos-
sible, the level LED indicator (2) should flash occasionally as 
you play. 
Note: You may not hear any sound unless the other knobs 
are turned up, please see (10) Level Control for controlling 
the volume.

LO-TRIM CONTROL

Used to adjust the bass response from your instrument.  
 Note: Excessive bass boost can cause an unnatural “howl-
ing” effect and should be avoided.

5

  HI-TRIM CONTROL

Used to adjust high notes and harmonic overtone response 
from your instrument.
