Victory VX The Kraken, User Manual

MASTER II
The Master II Volume control performs the exact same function as Master I
but allows you to set different Volume levels and when used in conjunction
with the footswitchable Gain settings, allows for instant switching for solo
boost.
HIGH – STANDBY – LOW Switch
The VX should always be switched on, (mains switch on rear of amplifier), with
this front panel toggle switch in its centre position. The amplifier is now in
‘STANDBY’ mode with just the valve heaters and low voltages on. This allows
the valves to heat up before they get 100s of volts up them, (it’s less of a
shock). After around 60 seconds, the amp can be switch to either HIGH,
(around 50watts rms) or LOW, (around 8 Watts rms). When switching the
amplifier ON or OFF please ensure the Volumes are turned down and you
leave at least 30 seconds before switching from Standby to Off. This will
ensure extended valve life and avoid any power-down noise. This is especially
relevant if you’re running through a large PA system as any small pop may
become amplified to audience death levels, which may limit your music
career.
