POWER SWITCH:
Main power switch for the unit. Tube amplifiers take between 30 seconds and 2 minutes to warm up
and be ready to play after switching on, this is normal.
POWER INDICATOR:
This lamp will be lit when the amplifier is switched on.
REVERB:
Controls how much reverb is added to your sound.
TONE:
The tone control works in a similar fashion to the Tone control you probably have on your guitar except that it
uniquely works at the other end of the amplification chain. This has the ability to not only control the overall top end
response but also reduce upper end harmonics on the output stage and preamplifier overdrive sounds. This will give you
bright cutting sounds at high settings and smooth rounded sounds at lower settings. (Midway (5) is a good starting point).
VOLUME
Sets how loud the amplifier is. Try cranking it up a little to drive the power tube harder for that real retro
:
sound and feel, that only a quality tube amplifier can deliver. Now use your guitar volume to control the amount of
distortion.
BASS , MIDDLE, TREBLE:
These are a set of traditional passive tone controls that have the advantage of always sounding
musical at any of their settings, mainly due to their unique interactive nature. This gives players a more natural set of tools to
create their ideal sound. (Try them all at 5 as a good starting point).
GAIN:
Controls the amount of gain applied to the preamplifier. High settings will give preamplifier distortion and low
settings will give a clean sound. Use in conjunction with the volume control to obtain the balance of preamplifier and power
stage distortion you desire.
15W INPUT:
Plugging into this input uses the amplifier in full power mode.
<1W
INPUT:
Plugging in to this input switches the output power stage down to around 1W.
(Use this feature for recording
or bedroom playing).
