FRONT PANEL, RIGHT TO LEFT: 

1.  INPUT - GUITAR INPUT.  Plug in your guitar or stomp box here. 
2.  BOOST Switch – Turns the Mid Frequency boost on or off for the clean and overdrive channel. 
3.  OD Switch – Turns the Overdrive Channel on or off. 

Note:  The BOOST and OD Switches provide the same functions as the footswitch.  If these 
switches are in the ON (UP) position the footswitch WILL NOT WORK.  Likewise, if the footswitces
 are ON the front panel switches WILL NOT WORK. 

4.  VOLUME – Sets the amount of drive for the clean and overdrive channels. This first gain control also 

serves as a tone shaping control, counter-clockwise for crisp and articulate, clockwise for thick and 
saturated. 

5.  MASTER VOLUME - Power amp output control – Loudness 
6.  EQUALIZATION SECTION – Passive / Interactive tone controls. 

a.  TREBLE – High frequency equalization.  
b.  MIDDLE – Mid frequency equalization.  
c.  BASS – Low frequency equalization. 

7.  GAIN – Sets the amount of drive for the OD channel only 
8.  LEVL – Sets the output level of the OD channel only 
9.  PRESENCE – High frequency variable feedback in power amp section. 
10.  STANDBY Switch - Turns ON/OFF DC voltage to the amp. 
11.  POWER INDICATOR LAMP – Lights when the POWER Switch is ON  
12.  POWER Switch – Turns AC power ON or OFF. 

 

 

REAR PANEL, RIGHT TO LEFT:

 

1.  AC MAINS INPUT – 120VAC 60Hz Power Inlet.  Use only the factory supplied AC cord set or a UL 

approved equivalent type. 

2.  AC Power FUSE – 2 Amp Slo-Blo Fuse – Only replace with same type and rating. 
3.  SPEAKER Jacks – 4, 8, 16 Ohm Outputs.  Total speaker load impedance should not exceed 

minimum or maximum ratings.  Two 8 Ohm cabs = 4 Ohms, two 16 Ohm cabs = 8 Ohms.  Use a 
speaker cable to connect to your speaker cabinet.  DO NOT use a guitar/audio cable; they cannot 
handle the current necessary to drive your speakers and may damage the amplifier. 

4.  FOOTSWITCH Jack – 5 pin XLR jack.  Plug the supplied footswitch in here.  

 

FOOTSWITCH: 

1.  OD Switch – Turns the OD Channel ON or OFF 
2.  BOOST Switch – Turns the mid frequency boost ON or OFF 

Note:  The Front Panel BOOST and OD Switches must be in the OFF (DOWN) position to activate 
the FOOTSWITCH.  The LEDs on the FOOTSWITCH will light whenever the OD or BOOST functions 
are active.
