Connecting
If you have purchased a top, connect the corresponding speaker or a 50 W / 8 Ohm box to the
"SPEAKER" loudspeaker output (rear of the amplifier).
Note:
Tube amplifiers are not "idling proof". If the speakers are not connected and the amplifier is switched on, costly
damage may occur in the unit.
If you want to use a footswitch for channel switching and reverb off , connect it to the
"FOOTSWITCH" (rear panel) jack.
Now connect the mains cable to a Schuko socket (observe safety instructions). The power
supply cable is located at the back of the wooden housing.
Connect the guitar to the input "INPUT" of the amplifier (front left).
Initial operation
Turn the amplifier on by turning the power switch to "ON". The "POWER" switch is located on
the left rear of the unit.
To avoid excessive volume levels immediately after switching on, please set the "VOLUME" - and
"GAIN" - controllers to "2" on the scale for the time being.
After a warm-up time of approx. 1.5 minutes, the amplifier can be put into operation. To do this,
the "STANDBY" switch on the right-hand side of the front panel is switched upwards.
Note:
For shorter breaks, it is recommended to use the "STANDBY" switch. To switch off the device completely, first push
the "STANDBY" switch downwards and switch off the unit after approx. 30 sec using the mains switch. This avoids
cracking noises when switching off.
Front Panel
Operation
“BOOST” switch
A "BOOST" switch is located directly at the inputs. This is used to adjust the level of the guitar
pickups to the amplifier. When connecting a guitar with very strong (loud) pickups, this switch
should be set to "off" for cleaner sounds (lever down). This is useful so that the first amplifier
stage is not overdriven when the guitar is fully turned up. Only if the sustain is not sufficient for
lead sounds, should it be set to "ON" (lever upwards).
Note:
The position of the "BOOST" switch affects the entire amplifier, ie both channels.
