Features:
Two preamp operating modes Clean and Lead, an active 3-band-EQ with parametric mid control
(first model is equipped with active 4 band EQ), and an Accutronics spring reverb system. All
settings of the controls except the Master may be programmed to the eight program numbers
(memory slots). Handling and programming is very easy.
Additional special feature: a programmable serial effects loop that may be extended to four
loops by connecting the Effect Multiplex (optional unit). The memory slots can be accessed via
pushbuttons located at the frontpanel of the amp or they can be remote controlled via a special
footcontroller.
The newer generation of the Digitalamp is equipped with the "M.R.I." system that makes it easy
to find out the original settings of the controls during the amp is operating in memory mode.
The tube power amp delivers 100 watts.
You will find guidelines on care and maintenance of tube amps on the last page of the manual.
Please read and heed these before operating your amp. All crucial information pretaining to the
operation of this amp is preceded by "NOTE" or "CAUTION." Please read and heed these as well.
Input:
Unbalanced 1/4" input jack.
Controls
Gain:
The setting of this control defines the sensitivity during Clean operation mode
of the amp.
Note: The Gain control of the first model (without M.R.I. system) defines the input
sensitivity for the Clean- and the Lead-operation modes.
Bass:
Bottom end voicing control of the active EQ, with approx. +/- 15 dB control range.
Frequency:
This control defines the frequency operating range of the mid control.
Middle:
Mid-range voicing control of the active EQ, with approx. +/- 15 dB control range.
Note: the first model (without M.R.I. system) is equipped with two mid controls
Lo Mid and Hi Mid instead of the parametric mid control system.
Treble:
Upper range voicing control, with approx. +/- 15 dB control range.
Reverb:
This is the reverb intensity control knob.
Leaddrive:
This control defines the amount of saturation in the preamp stage (tube overdrive).
Volume:
The setting of this knob determines the basic level of the amp. You can use it to
balance levels as you see fit by dialing in different or identical levels for different
presets. For this reason, Volume knob settings may be stored, which you can't do for
Master knob settings.
Master:
The setting of this knob determines the overall output level. Bear in mind that this
level will depend on the Volume knob setting. Master knob settings can't be stored
and, in contrast to the Volume knob, its setting remains the same when you activate
different memory slots.
Switches
M.R.I:
(only included in the newer Digitalamp-model!) This switch activates the Memory
Recall Indicator system: During the amp operates in memory mode this system assists
you to find out the original setting of all programmable controls. Rotate each control
until the red LED above the respective control lights up.
Note: If you do not use this feature, switch it off to avoid interference noise from
the digital electronic!
(
Lead) Boost:
(only included in the newer Digitalamp-model!) This function boosts the Gain during
Lead operating mode; it adds more bottom end and cuts the high frequencies. The
setting (On or Off) is programmable.
Presence:
(only included in the newer Digitalamp-model!) This function boosts the Treble
response in the poweramp stage. The setting (On or Off) is programmable.
Effect:
This switch activates the serial effects loop of the amp. The setting (On or Off) is
programmable.
Important note:
If no FX unit is connected to the FX Loop at the rear panel of the amp be
sure that the switch is in the Off position otherwise no signal is routed to the
poweramp. In case you have programmed the Effect Loop active (switch in the On
position) and you have no effect inserted, use a short shielded cable equipped with
1/4" plugs and connect the Send and Return jack.
