BLONDE ON BLONDE OWNER’S MANUAL • 3
VOLUME CONTROL
Turning the Volume Control clockwise or toward “Max” increases the volume of the Blonde On Blonde. Turning the
Volume Control counter-clockwise or toward “Min” decreases the volume. If the Volume Control is in the full
counter-clockwise position, no sound will be audible.
EXTENSION SPEAKER (OUTPUT) JACK
If you require more volume than the Blonde On Blonde’s speaker section can provide, we recommend adding an
extension speaker cabinet. To use the Extension Speaker Output Jack, make sure the Select Switch is set to
“Amplified” and connect an extension cabinet (with an impedance of 8 Ohms or greater) using an unshielded 2-
conductor speaker cable (NOT A GUITAR CORD!). Use only high quality, heavy gauge cable of at least 18 gauge
(the lower the gauge, the heavier the cable).
SPEAKER ONLY (INPUT) JACK
Using this jack will bypass the Blonde on Blonde’s power section and send the signal from an external power
amplifier directly to the Blonde on Blonde’s speaker section. To use this jack, make sure the Select Switch is set
to “Speaker Only” and connect an unshielded 2-conductor speaker cable (NOT A GUITAR CORD!) to this jack
from an external amplifier using a high quality, heavy gauge cable of at least 18 gauge.
NOTE:
The impedance of the Blonde On Blonde’s speaker section is 8 ohms. The following SWR Acoustic
Series amplifiers are recommended: California Blonde, Strawberry Blonde
SELECT SWITCH
The Select Switch determines the Blonde On Blonde’s mode of operation. To use the internal power amplifier of
the Blonde On Blonde, set the switch to “Amplified”. To bypass the Blonde On Blonde’s power amp section and
access the speaker section only, set the switch to “Speaker Only”.
HORN ON/OFF SWITCH
The Horn On/Off Switch turns the signal going to the Super Tweeter either on or off.
A/C LINE FUSE
The size and rating of the A/C Line Fuse is 3AG, 1 1/2 Amp, Slo Blo. NEVER replace this with a fuse of a higher
rating as it will void your warranty.
