The left-side switch  

[20] 

activates / deactivates the boost of the Classic channel. 

 

The right-side switch 

[21] 

allows to switch from one channel to the other. 

 
 
Note :  the  footswitch  has  priority  over  the  panel  switches.  When  the  footswitch  is  connected, 
the front panel 
boost and channel switches are not operational.  
 
 

9. Maintenance 

 
No  maintenance  is  needed,  apart  from  a  tube  change  (to  be  done  exclusively  by  an  authorized 
technician) once the tubes are worn. 
 

 

In  case  a  tube  change  is  needed,  no  bias  setting  is  required.  Indeed,  the 

Crunch Machine

  uses 

cathode-biasing, which is auto-adjusting. 
 

The 

Crunch Machine

 is complimented with JJ-Tesla tubes. You can use other brands, as long as: 

 

The power tubes (V4 and V5) are matched 

 

And you use the following types of tubes : 

o

 

V1, V2, V3 :  12AX7  

o

 

V4, V5 : 

EL84 

o

 

V6 : 

 

EZ81
