Before we get to the specific channels and their individual controls, let’s go over the

HEARTBREAKER’S

layout and features.

THE PRE-AMP: Part of the

HEARTBREAKERS’

beauty lies in its simplicity. Yet as you look closer and start to use its many faces,

you will realize it is an amazing collection of vintage style amps living under one roof. Contained in its two friendly channels, LOVE and
LUST, a mere five controls per, invite you to explore the most soulful and identifiable guitar circuits you’ve ever heard. It’s all in
here...from the twangiest tweed to the bubbliest black face; from the most collectible plexi to the liquid black magic of those coveted
early

Boogies.

There are two ways to access the different channels of the

HEARTBREAKER

, either via the channel select footswitch (included) -

when it is connected to the front panel footswitch jack, or manually by using the front panel channel select toggle switch. You will
notice a vertical row of three mini toggle switches that divide the two channels near the center of the front panel. These switches

access the two channels and their two gain stages, “HI” and “LO”. The top switch travels left to right and toggles
between Channel 1 (LOVE) and Channel 2 (LUST.)

The center and lower switches operate up and down and toggle between the “HI” and “LO” gain stages. The
center switch commands LOVE (Channel 1), while the lower switch regulates LUST (Channel 2.) Now let’s
power up so that we can move on to the individual channels and their respective controls.

POWER-UP: First remove the protective covers from the tubes (plastic webbing) before connecting the A.C. cord to a power
receptacle. Connect your favorite guitar to the instrument Input jack. Turn the power switch “ON” while leaving the STANDBY switch
set to “STANDBY.” (It is always a good idea to practice this start up procedure as at least 30 seconds of warm-up time lessens the
shock on cold power tubes, thus prolonging their life substantially.) Next, using the example below as a guide, set the controls as
illustrated. Now turn the STANDBY switch to the “ON” position, listen to the two distinctly different channels using now either the
footswitch or the channel select toggle switch as mentioned in the paragraph above.

THE PRE-AMP SECTION: Channel 1 (LOVE) is smooth and warm, wired to capture all the patriotic spirit of the greatest American
guitar circuits. Its tone controls move from up front in the “LO” (Rhythm) mode - to the rear in the two “HI” (Lead) modes (NORMAL
and BOOST), making LOVE the sweeter of the two channels for bright clean sounds or spanking high headroom chording. Due to
gain structure and tone control placement, LOVES’ “HI” mode is capable of handling higher front end (VOLUME) settings. When
searching for blistering, high gain solo sounds, the BOOST mode would likely be the best choice. The NORMAL mode of LOVES’ “HI”
circuit is great for the more focused, lower gain, blues sounds.
