N. PRESENCE - Adjusts the tone at a point in the signal
path after the distortion circuitry for unique ultra high-
frequency tone shaping.
O. PRE AMP OUT / POWER AMP IN -
(1) Effects Loop - Connect PREAMP OUT to the input of
an effects device and the output of the effects device to
POWER AMP IN.
(2) Multiple Hot Rod™ Amps - Connect PREAMP OUT
on the primary unit to POWER AMP IN on the auxiliary
unit. The primary unit is used to control all auxiliary
units, except for REVERB and PRESENCE which
remain active on each unit.
(3) Recording or Sound Reinforcement - Connect
PREAMP OUT to the input jack of sound equipment.
Use standard cables with TS (Tip-Sleeve)
plugs for connections. Both jacks are before Reverb
and Presence in the signal path.
P. FOOTSWITCH (Included) - Connect the footswitch here
to enable remote selection of Normal/Drive/More Drive
channels. When connected, the footswitch overrides
the corresponding panel controls. NOTE: A speaker
grade patch cord is preferable to a coax guitar cord for
connecting the footswitch.
Q. POWER INDICATOR - Illuminates when the unit is on.
Unscrew the red jeweled cover to access the bulb (type
T47) for replacement.
R. STANDBY - Use STANDBY
power off during short breaks to eliminate the tube
warm-up delay upon returning to play. Use STANDBY
for 30 seconds when first switching the power on.
Using standby will extend the life span of your amplifier
tubes.
S. POWER SWITCH - Turns the unit on and off.
