MID - Controls midrange frequencies. Higher settings produce a harder sound with more
clarity. Lower settings produce a softer more transparent sound.
BASS - Controls bass frequencies. To maintain clarity, BASS should be reduced when
playing at higher volumes, using an extension cabinet, or using a guitar with humbucker
pickups.
PRES - Controls frequencies above the TREB frequencies. Controls the amount of "chime"
and "sparkle".
REV - Controls the amount of reverb. Higher settings will introduce some hum.
REAR CONTROL PANEL
5-15 WATT SWITCH - Selectable output wattage. 5 watt allows amp to overdrive at a lower
volume, 15 watt allows for maximum clean sound and increases bass response. Can be
switched while amp is on.
EFFECTS LOOP - (passive loop: 0 db cut/boost) For use with rackmount style effects units.
Run instrument cable from SEND to input of effects unit. Then run second instrument cable
from output of effects unit into RETURN. Note: Some effects may operate better when used
in the front panel input.
EFFECTS SEND - (to second amp) - Run instrument cable from SEND of first amp into
RETURN of second amp. First amp will control both amps, using the power section of the
second amp in addition to the first amp. Only the presence and wattage controls on the
second amp will be operational.
FUSE - Unplug amp when replacing fuse. Use fuse type shown only. Use FAST BLO fuse
only. NEVER replace with higher amp fuse. If fuse fails repeatedly, amp may require new
power tubes or servicing.
SPEAKER OUTPUTS
• ONLY use SPEAKER cable (16 gauge or thicker recommended). Use of instrument cable
will damage amp.
• Ohm rating of speaker or cabinet MUST MATCH output jack used. 112 combo speaker is 8
ohm.
• Cabinets with different ohm ratings can be used at the same time, as long as the ohm
rating of each cabinet matches the ohm rating of each jack.
• When using two cabinets that have the same ohm rating, a Y adapter (see
reverendguitars.com) must be used to run both cabinets into one jack. Total ohm rating will
then equal half of one cabinet (example: two 8 ohm cabinets will equal 4 ohms, so use the 4
ohm jack with a Y adapter).
• Extension cabinets are available from Reverend and are recommended to increase
volume, bass response and clean headroom.
TUBES
CAUTION! Tube surfaces very hot! Always shut off amp and allow tubes to cool before
handling!
PRE-AMP TUBES -
(the four small tubes) Use 12AX7 type only. Replace when noisy or
malfunctioning. Tubes are available from Reverend.
