Balance is set somewhere between dry and Effect). The FX Loop button enables and
bypasses this loop, meaning you can actually activate and deactivate connected
effects using a control feature on the amp. The other effects loop,
, is
hardwired into the signal path between the preamp and power amp, and located pre
. If you patch a stomp box or other signal processor into this loop, you
must switch this outboard device on to activate its effect and switch it off to bypass it.
Note that in the signal path,

are sited post preamp
and pre the two master knobs.

CAUTION: Make sure you use an intact mains line cord with a grounded plug!
Before you power the amp up, ensure the voltage value printed
the mains
socket is the same as the current of the local power supply or wall outlet.
Please also heed the guidelines set forth in the separately included pamphlet,
.
Power amp standby switch: Use this switch to silence (0 position) the amp when you
take longer break. The amp's tubes stay nice and toasty, and the amp is ready to roll
immediately when you ramp it back up to full power.
I suggest you get into the habit of using standby during short breaks. In this mode,
current is not piped through the power tubes, so they don't get as hot (due to the lack
of anode dissipation) and are spared considerable wear. The amp is ready to run when
you flip the Standby switch because the tubes are already warm and don't require time
to heat up. For breaks of 30 minutes and longer, I recommend that you switch the amp
off in order to conserve energy.
Mains power on/off.
ensure that the Stand By switch (30) is set to
(0 position) before
you switch the amp on. Let the tubes heat up for about 30 seconds before you activate
the power amp. This procedure spares the tubes.
At the back of the manual you'll find a folded page offering diagrams of the front and
rear panels. Please unfold and refer to it as you read through the descriptions of
features and functions!
Plug the mains cord in here. For European models, use a standard non-heating
equipment connector cable.

After an extended period of operation and higher ambient temperatures
the amps's chassis can become very hot, therefore avoid touching the rear panel
