   THANK YOU FOR PURCHASING THE KOMET

AERO 33 AMPLIFIER 

 

 
The Komet

Aero

 

33

 

is a straightforward and easy to operate amplifier. The goal of this manual 

is to help you 

"

get acquainted

 

"

 

 with your Komet

 

amplifier, and how to make use of its many 

capable sounds.   

 

 

                  

 

 

FRONT CONTROL PANEL LAYOUT  

(left to right):

 

 

 

1.

 

Power Switch

: engages the wall AC/ power to the amplifier. 

 

2.

 

Standby  Switch

:  allow  the  amplifier  to  warm  up  for 

60

  seconds  before  engaging  the 

standby switch to the play position. This action will allow for all of the tubes to heat up 
to the proper voltage required for operation and will help prolong their lifespan. 

 

3.

 

Pilot  Light

:

 

illuminates  when  power  switch  is  placed  in  the  "

On

"  position.  The  pilot 

light  is  a  type  #

47

 

(6.3

 

Volt)

  light  bulb. 

(See  troubleshooting  section  for  bulb  replacement 

information).  

 

4.

 

Hi-Cut

: this control allows shaping of the treble response in the power amp.  For players 

who prefer a darker tone, the only option with most amplifiers, is to roll down the treble 
control. The treble control is passive 

(reduces a portion of the signal)

, so the result is a loss 

of gain, and

 

"

muddy

"

 

distortion. The Hi-Cut feature allows you to set the preamp EQ for 

the right balance by "darkening" or "brightening" the overall tone without changing the 
basic EQ setting. 

 
5.

 

Presence  Control

:  affects  the  highest  frequencies  in  the  output  stage.  It  is  normal  to 

hear  a  slight  "

scratchy

"  sound  when  engaging  the  Presence  control.  This  is  due  to  this 

amplifier’s particular circuit design.  

 

6.

 

Bass Control

: controls the low end range bass frequencies. 

 

7.

 

Midrange Control

: controls midrange frequencies. 

 

8.

 

Treble Control

: controls high end range treble frequencies. 

 

9.

 

Volume Control

: controls overall volume and gain of the amplifier. 

 

10.

 

Bright  Switch

:

 

three  way  selector  switch.

  Middle 

position  is  off, 

Down

  position 

- 

 

slightly bright, 

Up 

position 

-

 most bright.    

 
11.

 

Input

 

Jack

: accepts standard ¼ inch plug.  Input impedance is 1 Megohm.
