tremely accurate network to use as your fundamental platform. It's no wonder many first time TITAN players make the comment that
just these controls combined with the GAIN create the best tone they have ever heard!
NOTE: As with the BASS control, may we remind you that a control of this type with its increased power should be used with finesse.
In the TREBLE'S case, almost more so, because higher frequencies seem louder to the ear and are generally more painful when set
to extremes. Another reason to use care is that high frequencies tend to increase the ambient noise floor when set too high. This is
then exacerbated if the ACTIVE MID is combined for added top end boost. Dial with care and music in mind.
CH-1_&_2_MASTERS:
sired preamp gain settings and shaped the signal with the tone controls, the MASTER controls allow you to adjust the playing level
volume of each Channel independently with one knob.

SOLO:

This patented feature provides a pre-settable, footswitchable volume control for a "solo boost" that can be triggered at
any time in either of the two channels. This is achieved by including an additional "master volume" that is wired in parallel with the
OUTPUT control...a simple but powerful feature.
To use this feature, simply connect the Footswitch (to the Rear Panel DIN jack) and select SOLO and this control
becomes active with the adjacent LED light coming on to indicate the SOLO control is active. Then, toggle back and
forth between the OUTPUT and SOLO (by switching SOLO on and off at the Footswitch) and set the desired boost
amount with the SOLO control. Now you can step out and feature a part or a solo at the tap of your toe without having
to get the soundman's attention.
NOTE: The SOLO feature provides for a volume increase over that of the OUTPUT control. It is not possible to obtain a SOLO
volume level lower than that of where the OUTPUT control is set.
POWER:
This toggle switch controls incoming A.C. which powers up the TITAN when the switch is in the ON (up) position. It is
always best to give the preamp and driver tubes a moment to warm up by following this cold start procedure; First, flip the STAND-
BY switch to the STANDBY (down) position. Flip the POWER toggle to the ON (up) position and wait 30 seconds or
more before flipping the STANDBY up to the ON (up) position. This short warm up time will allow the tubes (and mosfet
power devices) to reach their optimum operating temperature before being put to work amplifying your signal.
The TITAN draws a substantial amount of current to produce its stunning power which prompted us to include an on-
board circuit breaker which is located on the Rear Panel just above the A.C. cable receptacle. This protects your
investment in times of power stress as would occur if you were determined to run a 2 ohm load on the 4/8 ohm speaker
