28 LEVEL
Signal level control for the frequency-corrected line output; it is used to match
the amp’s signal amplitude at the LINE output to the mixing console or recorder’s input.
29 OVERLOAD
This LED denotes the LINE output is overloading; in this case,
reduce the signal’s amplitude via the LEVEL control.
30 FREQU.-COMPENSATED LINE OUT (BALANCED) .................................................
TIP 7
The frequency-corrected, balanced LINE output jack (XLR). (Pin 2 and 3 signal, Pin 1 = N.C. ).
Its signal simulates a 4 x 12" speaker cabinet.
31 POWERAMP OUTPUT: 8 OHM ...............................................................................
TIP 8
8Z speaker output jack, for the connection of one 8Z cabinet:
32 POWERAMP OUTPUT: 16 OHM .............................................................................
TIP 8
16Z speaker output jack for one 16Z cabinet.
NOTE:
Never operate the power amp without a sufficient load, otherwise you may
damage or destroy the power amp! Ensure your cabinet’s specifications match the
respective output’s specs.
TIP 1
GAIN settings depend on what type of pickups are installed in your guitar. The recommended
setting for humbuckers or active pickups lies between the 10 and 1 o’clock positions, and 12
to 3 o’clock for single coils, for a pure clean response. In this case, leave the RHYTHM BOOST
pushbutton in the Lo position. More over increased gain will produce a touch of overdrive in the
preamp (“light Crunch”) that in combination with high volumes (power amp distortion) produces
an expressive tone! If your pickups are of the ultra-high output variety ( > 1V or 0dB ) you may
have to back off the guitar’s volume to achieve a truly clean tone.
TIP 2
For crisp glassy tones, set the BRIGHT switch to the HI position. This setting boosts
the treble response of muddy pickups.
TIP 3
Use the LO position of the RHYTHM BOOST pushbutton for Clean or light Crunch response;
the Hi position generates a fantastic Crunch or a powerful Rhythm, depending on then GAIN (2) setting.
TIP 4
To get an idea of this amp’s capabilities, we suggest you set all control pots to the 12 o’clock
position and then adjust the sound according to your taste, the connected speakers and the
room’s ambience.
TIP 5
The effectiveness of the HI RANGE SUPPRESSOR depends on the setting of the TREBLE
control; the higher its level is set, the higher the efficency of the H.R.S. The frequency range it
operates in, is between 1 kHz and 2,5 kHz; i.e. reach different sonic shapes in the Lead mode by
means of the H.R.S. control: a smooth or a hard and metallic lead tone character, especially
in combination with higher TREBLE control settings.
