24 TUNER
This jack is provided for connection to an electronic
tuner and is always “live” even when the PUMA 1000 is
in “MUTE” mode (#16). This allows for silent tuning as
well as providing a monitor feed which stays hot even
when the house mix is muted.
25 LINE OUT
This jack provides a line level signal for connection to a
separate power amp, PA mixing console or recording
equipment. The volume of the signal is controlled by the
“MASTER” control (#15). Note that the output is muted
when the “MUTE” function (#16) is engaged.
26 EFFECTS LOOP
SEND, RETURN / LINE IN
These two 1/4” jacks are the patch points for external
signal processing effects. This loop can be both serial
and parallel depending on the position of the “EFFECTS
MIX” control on the front panel (#14).
26b SEND
Connect the “SEND” jack to the input of the (first) exter-
nal device.
26a RETURN / LINE IN
Connect the output of the (last) external device to the
“RETURN” jack. The “EFFECTS MIX” control (#14) allows
you to variably balance the level of your dry instrument
signal with the wet effects signal.
Whether you hook up an effects device in parallel or
serial depends on the effect itself. Time related effects
such as reverb, delay and modulation effects are usually
hooked up in parallel, while volume related effects such
as an equalizer, compressor etc. should be hooked up in
serial.
Always use high quality shielded instrument cables for
connecting to and from external devices. Keep the
cables as short as possible. If you notice crackling dis-
tortion when using external effects, either the batteries
of the stomp box have run out, or the send level of the
amplifier is too high for the processor’s input stage. In
this case you better connect the device between bass
guitar and amplifier.
The “RETURN / LINE IN” jack (#26a) can also be used to
connect various external audio sources to the PUMA
1000 such as an MP3 player, a second bass guitar, or in
order to just use the power amp of the PUMA 1000. You
are now able to mix this external audio signal with your
instrument signal. The “MASTER” control (#15) determi-
nes the final output level (watch the “VOLUME” controls
of the individual power amps as well, see #28a and
#29a). As the “RETURN / LINE IN” jack (#26a) is placed
after the tone controls (#8 through #13) you can adjust
the sound of your instrument connected to the “INPUT”
(#1) to your likings without affecting the sound of the
external audio source. This way you can jam along your
favourite playbacks.
27 SPEAKER BRIDGED MODE

speaker outputs. The wiring of the pins is as follows: 1+
= hot, 1- = ground. The one on the right (looked from
behind) is reserved for mono bridged operation. When
operating the amp in MONO BRIDGE MODE care should
be taken that the
minimum load is no less than 8
ohms
.

output until it rests in the “ON” position. In this
mode neither the two “VOLUME” controls for “CHAN-
NEL A” (#29a) and “CHANNEL B” (#28a) nor the “SUB-
BOOST” filter (#28b) are active. The overall output level
is controlled by the “MASTER” volume control (#15) on
the front panel only. Make sure that the speaker outputs
22 POWER RECEPTACLE
Connect the supplied AC power cord to the power recep-
tacle. Make sure the Euro plug is firmly inserted in the
socket. The other end of the cable should be connected
to any standard grounded AC outlet or into a power strip
of proper voltage. Before you plug in do make sure that
the voltage is correct (see #23)!
Just in case you lose the cord provided, the jack accepts
a standard 3-prong IEC cord like those found on most
professional gear and computers – you can get it at any
electronics, music or computer store.
Never (!) remove or otherwise attempt to defeat
the ground pin of the power cord in order to get rid
of a hum induced by a ground loop.
22a POWER FUSE
The PUMA 1000 is fused for your and its own protection.
If you suspect a blown fuse, disconnect the cord, pull out
the FUSE DRAWER (#22a, located just below the cord
receptacle) and replace the fuse with another suitable
fuse. There should be a spare fuse in the fuse drawer.
For 230 V units the fuse for the PUMA 1000 must be a 4
A (amps) SLO BLO 5 x 20 mm. When you’re in a country
with a standard of 115 volts set the “VOLTAGE SELEC-
TOR” (#23) accordingly and don’t forget to change the
fuse to 6.3 A SLO BLO.
If two fuses blow in a row, something is very wrong. Do
not open the unit. Refer service to qualified service per-
sonnel.
23 VOLTAGE SELECTOR
The PUMA 1000 features a “VOLTAGE SELECTOR” allo-
wing you to use your amplifier anywhere in the world
just by the flick of a switch. The unit is set to 230 V when
we ship to a country in Europe.
Should you wish to use your PUMA 1000 in the USA set
the “VOLTAGE SELECTOR” to “115 V” and replace the
fuse in the fuse drawer (#22a) by a 6.3 A SLO BLO.
ATTENTION: Don’t forget to set it back to “230 V”
and change the fuse when you return home!
TecAmp cannot be made responsible for damages
to the unit caused by improper voltage selection.
Therefore it is a good idea to always check the
“VOLTAGE SELECTOR” before powering up the unit.
