  • Page 2 (though that’s not the stock sound) At 8W, the Gremlin was still too loud to be used in a home environment, so we added a custom version of our Ironman II attenuator, with 6 levels of attenuation, to bring the volume down by as much as 35db, all the way to a genuine bedroom volume.

Power-Cord Protection – Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to the cord in correspondence of plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the amplifier.

Dialing In Your Sound The Gremlin is capable of a surprisingly wide range of tones, between the two inputs. Each channel is intended for a specific use, and it’s important to know the intention of each voicing in order to get the most out of the Gremlin.

    It is a standard ¼” mono jack. The output impedance of the amplifier is 8 Ohms. If you wish to use the Gremlin with an extension cabinet, it’s best to use an 8-ohm cabinet. You can connect it with a standard ¼” mono speaker cable by pulling out the plug from the internal speaker, and plugging the cable into the speaker jack.
  • Page 8: Notes On Using The Attenuator

    Notes on using the attenuator In the 0db position, the attenuator is completely bypassed, and the speaker is connected directly to the output transformer secondary, with no additional circuitry touching the signal path. Although the Ironman II attenuator does an excellent job of reducing output power without changing the tone of the amp’s circuitry, there are other variables in play at lower volume which do result in some apparent tone change.
  • Page 9: Replacing Output Tubes

    Replacing Output Tubes The output stage of the Gremlin is fully cathode biased, and no bias adjustment is necessary when changing output tubes. The design of the Gremlin’s output stage allows a fair amount of margin for variation in tube characteristics, so any known brand of KT66 can be installed, and will work properly and be appropriately self-biased.
