SPEAKERS 

¼” speaker cable jacks.  Use a ¼” speaker cable to connect your speaker 

cabinet to the amplifier using these jacks.  If you use one speaker cabinet, either jack is 
acceptable.  
 

NOTE

 – never turn your amplifier to OPERATE mode (“1” / DOWN position on STANDBY) 

without connecting the amplifier to a speaker cabinet or suitable dummy load!  Failing to do 
so may damage your amplifier! 
 

NEGATIVE FEEBACK (NFB) 

is a 3 way switch to select different NFB resistor values: 

27K (LEFT), 49K (RIGHT), and No NFB(MIDDLE). 

No NFB will give the amp a louder, more gainy characteristics. Wild! 

 

 

FULL / HALF 

switches the power output of the power amp.  HALF mode configures the 

power tubes to run in triode operation, and this negates any need to reconfigure the 
IMPEDANCE SELECTOR. 
Please turn the amplifier to STANDBY before toggling this switch

 multimeter probe jacks – use this for external bias current 

measurements (see Section 5, Page 8) 
 

HT FUSE

 0.5A SLO BLO fuse – used to protect your amplifier from voltage spikes or 

excessive current draw.  Replace only when necessary.  
 

MAINS FUSE 

SLO BLO fuse – used to protect your amplifier from voltage spikes or 

excessive current draw.  Replace only when necessary. 3A is used for amplifiers used with 

a 120VAC country supply, and 2A is used with 240VAC.
