TUbE REPLACEMENT

When it's time to replace the tubes, or when you
want to "roll" tubes for different sound, follow
this procedure cafefully:
1. Turn off and unplug the amplifier. Wait a while
until the white LED on the front is completely off.
2. Carefully extract tubes by gently rocking them
back and forth and pulling upwards. Yes, the
short tubes are tough to get out. Have patience,
or ask a friend with smaller hands to help you.
3. Carefully insert the replacement tubes:
replace tubes with the same types (short = 6N1P,
tall = 6N6P.) Align the pins to the sockets and
press down gently until the tubes are seated. You
may also "roll" the 6N1Ps for 6DJ8, 6BZ7, 6922,
ECC88, or similar tubes.
4. Plug the amplifier back in and turn it on.
After the tubes warm up, you should hear music.
