Summary of Contents for HENNING BOTTLE ROCKET

  • Page 1 TUBE GUITAR AMPLIFIER MODEL: BOTTLE ROCKET OWNER’S MANUAL...
  • Page 2 The Bottle Rocket is one of the most versatile single channel amplifier you can buy today. It is a 50 watt tube amp featuring dual gain controls (each with a 3-way bright switch), dual foot switchable masters (each with a 3-way saturation switch) and and an overall master to provide great tones from bedroom to concert levels.

  • Page 3: Important Safety Instructions

    CAUTION: There are no user serviceable parts inside, refer servicing to qualified personnel only. Henning Amplification amplifiers and loudspeaker systems are capable of producing very high sound pressure levels, which may cause temporary or permanent hearing damage. Use care when setting and adjusting volume levels during use.
  • Page 4 BOTTLE ROCKET FUNCTIONS FRONT PANEL, LEFT TO RIGHT 1. GUITAR INPUT – Plug your guitar, pedalboard or stomp box in here 2. BRIGHT – This bright switch sets the value of the bright cap for the first gain stage of the preamp, which can increase the high end response, tighten the amp’s response and add considerable perceived...
  • Page 5 12. SATURATION – This saturation switch sets the gain style for channel master named SOLO. It is a 3- way switch and the center position is OFF, meaning no additional gain and compression is added. If the switch is set to the RIGHT position, a subtle amount of gain and compression is added. If the switch is set to the LEFT position, a higher level of gain and compression is added.
  • Page 6 REAR PANEL, LEFT TO RIGHT 1. AC MAINS INPUT – Connect to a grounded outlet. Use only the factory supplied cord set or a UL approved equivalent type. 2. MAINS – This holds the mains fuse, which protects the amplifier from electrical faults. Replace only with a 4 AMP SLO BLO fuse.
  • Page 7 Only use a cable made for speakers - instrument and line level cables cannot be used! The Bottle Rocket has two switchable impedance speaker outputs. Make sure you set the IMPEDANCE SELECT switch on the amplifier so it matches the cabinet you are using –...

  • Page 8: Footswitch Functions

    FOOTSWITCH FUNCTIONS LEFT TO RIGHT To use the footswitch, it must be connected between the footswitch and the amplifier back panel. Your amplifier came with a special cable that has an XLR connector on one end that connects to the footswitch and 2 ¼” phone plugs on the other end. To connect the footswitch, align the XLR type plug properly with the foot controller’s connector and then push the plug in until it snaps - you won’t be able to pull it out.
  • Page 9 Rocket amp. Feel free to experiment with other tubes of the same tube type required for each slot. For example, the Winged "C" (SED) EL34 Power Tubes also sound great in the Bottle Rocket. Substituting other tube types than described below is not recommended.
  • Page 10 HOW TO BIAS YOUR AMP WARNING – DO NOT attempt to bias your amp unless you have experience doing so. If you do not have the experience, it is always best to have a qualified tech change your tubes and bias the amp. Note as well that to bias your amp, it must be live and your hands will be very close to EXTREMELY hot tubes.
  • Page 11 If the measurement is outside that range, CAREFULLY (so as not to burn your hand on the hot tubes) insert either the jeweler’s flat-head screwdriver into the right bias adjust pot (in the hole on top of the chassis, as described) and turn the pot to adjust the bias within range. Counterclockwise decreases the bias, while clockwise increases the bias.

  • Page 12: Sample Setting

    SAMPLE SETTING To help you get acquainted with your Henning Bottle Rocket, we have created this sample setting of all the controls so that you have a great starting point for tweaking the amp to YOUR tone. ALWAYS start with the MASTER set fully counterclockwise (the off position) and adjust it slowly up until you reach the appropriate volume for the room you are playing in, even with these sample settings.
