NOTE

: One last time

− 

if the volume on your instrument is up, and your Gain and Master Volume 

controls are up, and especially if you're seeing the Preamp Clip and Limiter Active LED's illuminate 

while you're playing…and you can't understand why you're not getting any audible output from the 

Workingman's 2x10C, check the position of this switch!

TWEETER MODE SWITCH

Also located on the small panel on the rear of the Workingman's 2x10C's speaker cabinet, this three-position

switch gives you three different options for operation of the piezo tweeter. In the 

Full Range

(top) position,

the tweeter will reproduce an unattenuated signal of every frequency it sees (roughly 2 kHz up to 15 kHz,

within certain tolerances). The -

6db

(bottom) position reduces the level of the tweeter's outputs by 6 

decibels, which to the ear sounds roughly as if cut in half compared to the Full Range position. The 

Off

(middle) position will defeat the tweeter's output entirely.

Try starting with the switch in the 

Full Range

position.  If this sounds too "treble-y" to your ear and you still

want the touch of crispness that a tweeter provides, you can: a) set the Tweeter Mode Switch to -

6db

; b)

adjust the Treble tone control on the front panel; c) a combination of both.  Those users with a predisposition

against a tweeter in general have the option to turn it off and leave it off, but we recommend trying it out

first.

LINE FUSE (A/C OR MAINS FUSE)

This fuse is provided to protect the internal electronics against power surges, etc. It also protects the unit

against itself should one of the internal components fail. If this fuse should open, replace it with the same

type of fuse and rating. Do not defeat the purpose of this feature by using a higher rated fuse as it can void

your warranty.

Proper size of the AC fuse for all countries is 3AG. Proper rating of the fuse is as follows:

United States: 7 amp slo-blo
Japan: 8 amp slo-blo
Europe (230V-240V): 4 amp slo-blo

A/C CORD RECEPTACLE

This receptacle accepts a standard A/C power cable (supplied with the Workingman's 2x10C in the United

States) used with almost all current musical, professional and household electronic devices. We recommend

great care when packing up. If your unit is not in a rack case, put the cable in your instrument or accessory

case or leave it attached and looped around one of the rack handles. If it does become misplaced, a 

replacement cable can be purchased at almost any music or computer store.

NOTE

: The rating for this cable is 3 conductor, 10 amperes minimum. Look for this rating on the cable.  

Make sure the cable is plugged in all the way in both the amp and the wall socket.

REMOVABLE CASTER WHEELS

Your Workingman's 2x10C comes with a set of four, heavy-duty, removable caster wheels. SWR uses only

closed shaft sockets so as to prevent air leaks or unwanted noise when the enclosure is in use. To install the

caster wheels on your Workingman's 2x10C, carefully turn the unit upside down (or on its side) so that the

caster base/sockets are visible. Insert the shaft of each caster wheel into a socket on the underside of the

Workingman's 2x10C. When all four wheels are firmly in place, return the Workingman's 2x10C to its upright

position and you're ready to roll. You can leave the casters in place during performance, but it's 

recommended that they be removed so as to allow the Workingman's 2x10C's speaker compartment to
