QUICK START GUIDE
The following section takes a "jump in and get your feet wet" approach. If this gets confusing, please refer to the
more detailed sections that follow.
1.) Insure that you have read and understand all safety warnings on the printed safety pages included with the
unit. It is imperative that you follow these precautions for the safety of yourself and the amp.
2.) With the amp turned OFF, turn the MASTER control to it's minimum setting and plug the power cord into
the proper voltage supply indicated on the rear of the unit, near the IEC INLET.
3.) Plug your instrument into either the high or low gain input jack using a high-quality SHIELDED instrument
cable. Active instruments may require use of the low gain input to avoid unwanted input distortion.
4.) Make sure that your instrument volume is turned down.
5.) Turn the POWER switch on after you have connected the desired speaker cabinet(s) to either the LEFT
output jack or both, if you are using a stereo speaker configuration. Be sure to use speaker cables with at least
18AWG wire, in all cases. Make sure that your speaker cabinets can handle the power that will be delivered to
the marked impedance of the cabinet.
6.) Using front panel controls on the amp, find the type of tone that most closely resembles that which you wish
to obtain and set the knobs, accordingly.
7.) Gradually increase the level of the volume control of your instrument to your taste. If the input starts to
sound overdriven in a bad way, reduce the PRE GAIN setting on the amplifier.
8.) Adjust the overall level by increasing the MASTER GAIN control....watch your ears!
9.) Again, to adjust out any undesirable distortion, start by reducing the PRE GAIN setting. The switchable
BOOST function is designed to provide more pleasing preamp distortion, as desired.
10.) Play around with the effects, EQ and spring reverb controls to get a feel for how they function and start jam-
min' . Most importantly, READ THE REST OF THIS MANUAL.
