How
NOT
to use the AMP CENTRAL
The Amp Central is a load device that takes the output of your tube based amplifier and
transforms this energy by dissipating it into heat.
Since NO volume is perceived you might be tempted to turn the master volume of your
amplifier to a very high, almost ear-killer and dangerous level, which is not recommended for
various reasons.
Firstly, by doing this, the life of your power tubes will be incredibly reduced, and we all know
that they are not 'cheap' nowadays.
Secondly, you’re overheating Amp Central, for no benefit. A fan, inside the unit is placed to
protect the load from overheating and it will automatically start as soon it will feel the need to.
Last but not least, most modern amplifiers are fine-tuned to suit to the preamp. 99.9% of the
time, gain comes from there, there’s no practical, sound-wise or “I have the biggest dick ever”
reason to fully open master volume on your 100W. It’s simply a wrong habit.
While Amp Central is safely rated up to 100W, we do recommend to use your amplifier at the
same volume as you would use with a regular cabinet, or just a bit more perhaps.
Keeping care of your gear will result in a better sonic performance and a way longer life.
