11. Footswitch Jack

For the connection of a single operation footswitch
for channel switching functions (P801 footswitch
optional).

12. Headphone Jack

The connection of stereo headphones mutes the
internal speaker for private practice. Headphones
with a mono plug should not be used.

13. Line Output

The low level signal from this output is ideal for
direct linking to recording equipment, or for
driving further power amplifier systems.

8010: 10 Watt COMBO

FRONT PANEL

1. Input Jack 

Jack socket for the connection from the guitar.

2. Gain Control 

This controls the level of input gain. Lower
settings give clean sounds. As the control is
advanced the amount of overdrive increases. Full
Gain = Full Shred!

3. Boost Select 

Single switch which selects Normal (clean &
crunch sounds) or Boost (overdrive sounds).

4. Master Volume 

This controls the overall volume of the amplifier
on either channel selection.

5-7. Bass, Middle & Treble

Three band equalisation for tonal selections  on the
normal or boost channel. These controls  interact
so it is best to experiment in order to find your own
favourite settings.

8. Headphone Jack 

For the connection of stereo headphones. When
headphones are connected the speaker connection
is muted. Headphones with a mono plug should not
be used.

9. Line Out Jack 

Provides a low level version of the amplifier output
signal. Special filtering allows you to link from this
jack into recording equipment or further amplifier
systems.
