CARE AND MAINTENENCE:
Your Matrix VB-800 should give you many years of trouble free service if
operated correctly and looked after. Pre-amp tubes do wear down though
and as such are only covered in the VB-800’s warranty for 90 days from
purchase, guaranteed to be free from defect.
The VB-800 comes equipped with x2 ECC83/12AX7 pre-amp tubes
manufactured by JJ Electronics. We recommend replacing them with the
same type or same manufacturer for best results.
As stated earlier in the manual, care must be taken when connecting the
speaker outputs to a suitable cabinet. Always use good quality speaker
leads and make sure the cab(s) you are connecting to is/are in mono
operational mode. Linking the outputs on the VB-800 together either
directly or through plugging into a cab input and a cab link output will
damage the power section and invalidates the warranty. Care in particular
must be taken with Orange cabs, which feature unmarked sockets on the
rear of their cabs, one is an input, the other used for daisy chaining other
cabs to. If unsure, refer to the cab manufacturers manual.
The VB-800 may be cleaned with a soft lint free damp (not wet) cloth. A
mild spray polish such as that used for guitars is acceptable so long as it
has no abraisive properties.
