Valvetrain Amplification, LLC Made in U.S.A.
It’s really pretty simple to use…
Let’s start from the way we’re actually going to use the amp.
1.
The input jack is where you plug in your instrument cable.
2.
There are 3 knobs on the amplifier, one that controls the overall Volume of the amp, a Tone
control and a Gain control.
3.
The Tone control removes high frequency response as the indicator gets closer to 1.
4.
The pilot lamp is also located on the top panel and is illuminated when the amplifier is powered
on.
5.
Make sure that the amp is plugged into a grounded outlet at 120 Volts A.C (Standard U.S.
Electricity)
6.
Flip the power switch to the on position and the pilot lamp will begin to glow.
7.
WAIT AT LEAST 30 SECONDS. The tubes in this amp need a little time to warm up… You
could shorten the life of the tubes by rushing things…
8.
Flip the Standby switch to the on position.
9.
Next, turn the gain, tone and volume controls to the desired levels and play!!
