Introduction to Fuchs Audio Technology Amplifiers What makes our products unique? The recent proliferation of "Boutique” amplifiers, allow guitarists to recognized what audiophiles have known for years, properly designed tube circuits can offer the finest musicality, detail, and sensitivity to playing subtleties of any type amplifier.

All passive parts are carefully chosen for both reliability and sonic attributes. Each and every Fuchs amplifier undergoes 20-40 hours of “burn-in” before leaving our shop. This ensures every Fuchs amp is built for the long haul. 2000-2008 Fuchs Audio Technology. All rights reserved. Clean Machine-Manual Rev. 1.1 08-2011...

Please read before powering up your Clean Machine Please see Panel Diagrams in next section 3 for assistance. 1) Inspect to make sure power & pre-amp tubes are intact & snuggly seated in their sockets. 2) Make certain a speaker (load) is plugged into the correct speaker input jack on the back of the amplifier (4 or 8 ohm).

Front Panel Controls and Their Functions Input Jack(s): Input jack(s), are 1/4" phone plugs, designed for 1-Meg impedance, guitar-level signal. This input will readily accept pedals/effects without any loss in performance. The design of the Clean Machine amplifier is quite flexible, so we first suggest exploring its performance without any effects or pedals initially.

The Reverb Controls: (Input tone, Input Dwell, Output level, Output tone) The reverb controls allow the widest range of reverb adjustment on any amp or outboard reverb unit made today. These four controls will allow you to tailor both the input level and tone, and the output level and tone for reverb tones ranging from subtle and warm to a bright extreme surf style, and anything in between.
