If you just can’t wait…

Here are a few quick steps to get you playing within minutes

Unpacking

Unpack your RebelHead450 amp. 

The box should contain the following items:

RebelHead450 amplifier

Power Cable

RCA to mini jack cable

Manual

Inspect all items for signs of transit damage. In the unlikely
event of this having occurred, inform the carrier and supplier.

Keep all the packaging if damage has occurred, as this will
show evidence of excessive handling force.

It is also a good idea to keep the packaging for future
transportation.

Setting up

Connect the Speaker Out jack of the amplifier to your
cabinet using a speaker cable. Both Speakon and ¼" jack
cables can be used. RebelStack cabinets come with a
speaker cable included, so if you have bought a RebelStack
cabinet, you are all set to go.

You can connect up to three RebelStack cabinets or any
other two 8 Ohm cabinets of another brand to the amplifier.
(minimum load: 4 Ohm). 

Connect the power cable and power up. The RebelHead’s
power supply accepts voltages from 100 to 240 VAC.

Connect your bass to the input jack on the front panel.

Adjust the input gain using the GAIN knob. 

Adjust the output volume using the MASTER knob.

Play!

Accessories

The following items can be purchased at your music dealer:

RebelStack 210 and 212 cabinets.

RebelControl: A pedal with four footswitches that can use to
switch between three memory locations and also to mute for

19" bracket that allows you to mount the amplifier in a
standard 19" rack.

Soft bags for both the RebelHead amplifier and the
RebelControl.
