DEFEATING THE LIMITER CIRCUIT
Regardless of where the Variable Limiter Control is set, you may defeat the Limiter circuit at any time by
pulling out on the Limiter knob itself. (It doubles as an on/off switch for the Limiter.) To defeat the Limiter,
simply pull "out" on the knob of this control until you hear and feel a "click." To re-engage the Limiter, push
the control back in to its original position, and the Limiter circuit will reactivate at the threshold setting you
chose originally. This may be useful in determining just how much limiting is occurring in an "A/B" type of test.
You can also hear in an instant if your limiter is set to where it is actually stopping the power amp from
clipping, because if you suddenly hear distortion that wasn't there when the limiter was engaged, that's
exactly what's occurring. (This is especially key to remember when using your 2x10C with an extension
cabinet at high volumes.)
LIMITER ACTIVE LED
When the threshold (starting point) of the Limiter circuit is reached, the Limiter Active LED will light, indicating
that the Limiter Circuit is active and helping to protect your power amplifier from clipping. The Limiter LED will
not illuminate when: a) the Limiter has been defeated by pulling out on the Limiter control; b) when playing at
levels not high enough to engage the circuit.
NOTE
: If you have defeated the Limiter and you hear a loud, sharp distortion present in your sound

the Preamp Clip LED is not lighting up
