Congratulations on purchasing one of the world’s finest professional instrument combo
amplifiers! The TCA-500 combo amplifier is a state of the art audiophile quality unit designed
and built with the latest and best sounding technologies. It has been carefully engineered to
provide every function and convenience possible within its cost/benefit ratio, for the professional
musician. There is a reason for every function provided. The user is encouraged to read this
manual in order to achieve the highest level of performance provided by these capabilities.
The TCA-500 combo amplifier gives you dramatically better control of your sound. The result is
transparent smooth clean sound, tight bottom end and silky highs. It is designed to accommodate
many different instruments and as such, its controls cover a wider range of options than
previously offered to the professional musician. Accordingly, for any given instrument, the
controls may ‘feel’ more sensitive when adjusted for a specific instrument. For this reason, the
user is encouraged to make smaller adjustments while listening carefully. Final adjustments
should always be made with the ear, without regard to where one “expects” the knob to be.
