Tech 21 Power Engine Deuce Deluxe PE-200 Owner's Manual page 7

NOTEWORTHY NOTES & CONSIDER TIONS
1) Powering Up and Powering Down. To avoid the typical loud pop and
potential harm to the speaker and/or horn, power up in this order:
For mono applications:
1st: mplifier or pre-amp/processor
2nd: Power Engine Deuce Deluxe
For stereo applications:
1st: Stereo processor
2nd: mplifier or pre-amp/processor
3rd: Power Engine Deuce Deluxe
2) EQ. We recommend starting with all controls flat. Then use each sparingly as
needed for whatever room you're in. Remember, you need not set everything at max
to obtain maximum results. It would be rare that turning all the tone controls up
would accomplish a favorable sound. In most instances, a slight cut of the Mid
control should be adequate.
3) HPF/LPF Tips. The LPF and HPF provide expanded flexibility so the Power
Engine can be used with a variety of instruments with different attributes. For exam-
ple, if you are amplifying an electric guitar, engage both filters to simulate the
response of a guitar cabinet. For bass, engaging the LPF only will simulate the sound
of a vintage cabinet. coustic guitars will benefit from more high-end response, so
disengage the LPF and engage the HPF to remove boominess. For full range instru-
ments such as keyboards, disengage both filters.
4) Clipping. Be aware the Power Engine Deuce Deluxe is not designed for use
with a guitar or bass plugged directly into it, as it may cause the tweeter to clip,
especially at higher volume. For optimal operation and maximum headroom, an amp
emulating preamp provides compression to smooth out signal spikes.
