The voltage selector switch and mains fuse are set at the factory for the country or region in which this Orange product is intended to be sold. To prevent serious damage to the product, ensure that the rated AC mains voltage indicated on the product's rear panel agrees with the mains voltage from your AC mains outlet before connecting the mains cord/plug.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Bass Adjusts the low-end frequencies with up to 15dB of boost (max. setting) or cut (min. setting). Gain Controls the level of gain applied to the upper frequencies. Increasing the GAIN adds extra harmonics and, at higher settings, heavy distortion. The GAIN control works together with the BLEND control.

Power Switches the mains power supply to the amplifier ON/OFF. Phones For use with most stereo headphones with a 6.35mm connection. The PHONES output also features Cabsim for a more authentic sound, and can be used to send a signal to a recording console/mixer. The internal speaker is disconnected when the PHONES output is in use.

Aux In For use with MP3 players, laptops etc. via a 3.5mm audio cable. The audio signal is internally summed to mono. FX Loop Use the FX LOOP to connect external effects processors/pedals inbetween the amp’s preamp and output stages. Connect the SEND to the input of external effects.

Blend Controls the amount of gain/upper harmonics blended with the clean signal. The character of the BLEND control is defined by where the GAIN control is set. Higher BLEND settings will also add extra volume. With the GAIN set to minimum, the BLEND control will have the least effect on the overall sound.

Freq Selects the centre frequency of the MIDDLE control, sweeping from 300Hz (min.) to 2.7kHz (max.). Note: When the MIDDLE control is in the centre (12 o’clock position), moving the FREQ control will have no audible effect.

FX Loop Use the FX LOOP to connect external effects processors/pedals inbetween the amp’s preamp and output stages. Connect the SEND to the input of external effects. Connect the output of the external effects to the RETURN socket.
