Introduction - Rocktron Velocity 300 Instruction Manual

1. Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the Velocity® 300 guitar power amplifier! Rocktron has been
designing power amplifiers specifically for guitar players since the early 1990's. The Velocity 300 is
the latest and greatest in our line of Velocity power amps.
The Velocity 300 provides 150 watts/channel when used in stereo applications or 300 watts mono
bridged into a 8 ohm load!
The Velocity 300 has a unique "Reactance" circuit that actually replicates the output impedance of tube
amplifiers—so you can get the same great sound that a tube amplifier delivers in a reliable solid state
design. And, because it is a variable control, you can customize your Velocity 300 to sound like any of
your favorite tube amps. Best of all, this feature is available in the mono bridged mode too!
In addition, the Velocity 300 has "Definition" controls to give you that little bit of edge you need to
bring your playing out in the mix. It also has automatic short circuit protection, which detects problems
and shuts down the amplifier before any internal damage can be done.
Other Features:
• 115/230 VAC voltage selector switch.
• An AC power detect circuit, which ensures that the amplifier outputs shut down first when AC is
removed. This will guard against any thumps or pops that could otherwise occur, potentially damaging
speakers when power is cut to the amplifier.
• Differential input buffers to eliminate ground loop hum coming from the power amp.
• Over-temperature protection
• Rock-solid design to provide reliable, trouble-free use.
