Thank you for purchasing a Trainwreck Engineered
TM
Komet
TM
Amplifier.
The Komet
Concorde
is a straightforward and easy to operate amplifier. This manual is
intended to help you “
get to know
“ your Komet
amplifier, and make use of the many different
sounds which it is capable of.
FRONT CONTROL PANEL LAYOUT
( left to right ):
1.
Power Switch:
engages the wall AC / power to the amplifier.
2.
Standby Switch:
allow the amplifier to warm up for
60
seconds before engaging the
standby switch to the play position. This action will allow for all of the tubes to heat up
to the proper voltage required for operation and will help prolong their lifespan.
3.
Pilot Light:
illuminates when power switch is placed in the “
ON
” position. The pilot
light is a type #
47
( 6.3
Volt )
light bulb.
( See troubleshooting section for bulb replacement
information ).
4.
Hi-Cut:
this control allows shaping of the treble response in the power amp. For
players who prefer a darker tone, the only option with most amplifiers, is to roll down
the treble control. The treble control is passive
( reduces a portion of the signal )
, so the
result is a loss of gain, and “
muddy
” distortion. The Hi-Cut feature allows the Komet
owner to set the preamp EQ for the right balance. Then you can darken or brighten the
overall tone using the Hi-Cut control without changing the basic EQ setting.
5.
Presence Control:
affects the highest frequencies in the output stage. It is normal to
hear a “
scratchy
” sound when turning it the Presence control. This is due to this
amplifier’s particular circuit design.
6.
Bass Control:
controls the low end range bass frequencies.
7.
Midrange Control:
controls midrange frequencies.
8.
Treble Control:
controls high end range treble frequencies.
9.
Volume Control:
controls overall volume and gain of the amplifier.
10.
Input
Jack:
accepts standard ¼ inch plug. Input impedance is 1 Megohm.
