2. General warning 

 
Thanks for thoroughly respecting the following guidelines in order to ensure a safe and durable 
operation of your amplifier: 
 

 

Place your amplifier on a stable surface and in an ventilated place. 

 

Do not expose the amplifier to moist or liquids. 

 

Do  not  open  the  amplifier  on  your  own.  If  you  encounter  a  technical  problem,  contact 

Tone Bliss

 

 

Connect your amplifier exclusively to an earthed power outlet (230VAC). 

 

Never  power  your  amplifier  before  having  connected  a  load  (speaker  or  power 
attenuator).  

 

Always  connect  your  load  to  the  speaker  outputs 

[18] 

connector showing  the  same 

impedance: connecting the amplifier to a mismatched load can damage the amplifier. 

 

Systematically wait 5 mn before switching the standby 

[3] 

switch in the Home or Stage 

position. This allows the tubes to heat-up and reach their operating conditions. For more 
details, please go to chapter 4.2 Power-up
