RedPlate BlackLine/BluesLine Operations Guide
The BlackLine/BluesLine comes complete with a 3 button footswitch and a footswitch cable.
The cable used is a regular MIDI cable and is readily available in any length at most music stores.
MID – Light on = MID Boost. Light off = no MID Boost – the footswitch has no effect if the MID
switch is not activated on the rear panel (duplicate function).
LEAD – (Lead Channel) Light on = engages the Lead channel. The gain control has to be
above zero for the footswitch to operate.
BOOST – (All Channels) Light on = stack lift boost. The rear panel boost control must be above
zero for the footswitch to operate.
1. Check the Standby switch to make sure it is toggled downward for Standby operation.
2. Toggle the main power switch to the up position (this switch is located at the top of the IEC
input module). The front panel pilot light should be lit.
3. Wait one minute and then toggle the Standby switch upwards to the Operate position.
4. POWER OFF – Toggle the main power switch downward, there is no need to go into
standby first although it will not hurt anything.
Your BlackLine/BluesLine amp has been designed for years of trouble free operation. The
vacuum tubes will need to be replaced over time. We recommend new output tubes every 160 -
240 hours and new preamp tubes every 320 - 480 hours. The front and rear panels have a
protective finish that can be easily scratched with abrasives so always use a damp soft cloth to
clean them (never use paper towels).
