2. ANATOMY AND USAGE
2.1 FRONT PANEL
INPUT
Instrument input.
VOLUME
Controls the gain of the preamp. Higher settings cause break-up in the preamp section.
BOOST
Turn this switch up to activate the Boost. This function is foot-switchable.
TONE
Controls the balance between bass and treble frequencies.
MASTER
Controls the volume and break-up of the power section of the amplifier.
STANDBY SWITCH
This turns on the high voltage to the tubes. The tubes should warm up for at least one minute before turning Standby
switch to ON. Be sure that the Volume control is set to a reasonable position before switching the amplifier ON as this
amplifier can be very loud! For short breaks (5 minutes or less), using the Standby switch will increase tube life.
PILOT LIGHT
This shows that AC Mains voltage is flowing to the amplifier.
POWER SWITCH
Turns on AC power to the amplifier. The Power switch should be turned on, and the pilot light should be lit for 1
minute before turning the Standby switch to ON.
