FRONT PANEL (continued)
Cut
The Cut knob is universal to Channel 1 and Channel 2, meaning it is always in the circuit
an always affecting the tone. The knob is appropriately named because turning it up gives your
tone more cut; turning it down gives a darker, mellower tone. This is similar to a presence knob
on some other amps.
BACK PANEL
A/C Plug
Plug your ampÕs power cord in here first, then to the wall.
On/Off Switch
This switch turns the amp on or off. Please make sure that the Standby Switch is in the Standby
mode before turning on or off. This will help increase the life ot the power tubes.
Standby Switch
Leave this switch off when turning on the amp and let the amp warm up for a full minute before
turning this switch on. ItÕs best to let tubes warm up before playing. Also, turn the Standby
switch to Standby when you will not be playing for a while (for example, breaks in between sets
of your performances, etc.).
Channel Switching Jack
Plug in your amps footswitch here to allow you to switch between channel 1 and 2 and also
bland channels. The footswitch must be used to access the channel blend feature.
Full/Half Power Switch
In the up position this switch allows the use of full power of your amp. For more headroom, full
power mode is a must. Full power mode also provides a bigger, bolder tone. The down position
of this switch is Half power mode. Half power is very useful for getting the amp to break into
desirable distortion at lower volumes for home use or use in smaller rooms. The tone character is
slightly different between the modes and a little experimentation is worthwhile.
Reverb Footswitch Jack
This is the footswitch jack to turn the reverb on or off. You can use any conventional shielded
cable latching on/off footswitch with this jack.
