INTRODUCTION Duality 100 is a three channel, modern style, guitar amplifier. Thought as ultimate tone weapon, featuring rich clean crispy sound, a tridimensional multi stage overdriven channel and a third modern- “over the top” gain lead channel. Full MIDI implementation (CC and PC), double master volume and a serial high voltage buffered effects loop make Duality 100 your life as guitarist easier than ever before.

NOTE: IMPORTANT…NOT TO DO! • Do not try to change output jacks (impedance) while the amplifier is on. You must turn STANDBY and POWER switches to OFF position before changing the output impedance. • Do not try to change input/output levels of you devices plugged into fx loop while the amplifier is on.
PREMISE By developing this amplifier we had few main visions in our minds: 1 – THE AMPLIFIER MUST SOUND GOOD IN A MUSICAL CONTEST AND NOT IN YOUR BEEDROOM EXCLUSIVELY. This can be hard to understand to some people, but in every step of our developing process we recorded it through a professional studio recording system, making sure that all useless frequencies which can fight with bass guitar, synths or maybe cymbals in a live/recording environment are gone. A huge quantity of useless gain and can be...
SOUND DESCRIPTION D100 were born from the demand of our clients to modify so many amps, until they recognized an unique style and sound in our work. It took us almost a year to develop this 100w all tube amplifier after all the positive experience with D100. We are proud to say that this is not a clone of anything.
TECHNICAL FEATURES FRONT PANEL: (from left to right) • STANDBY / ON SWITCH: turn the amplifier in standby mode or in operative mode. • RED LED: (under STANDBT / ON SWITCH): this led will indicate the state of incoming power supply. It will turn on if everything is ok. •...

REAR PANEL (from left to right) • SEND & RETURN: Connection between pre amp and power amp. D100 is shipped with pedal friendly signal level. • MASTER ½: Master volume controls. • PRESENCE: global setting for presence control. It acts on every channel. •...
FIRST USAGE Before plugging in the power cord, make sure to check the input voltage of the amplifier and be sure to match it with your wall voltage, and then insert the power chord. Before plugging in the speaker cable, check the impedance of your cab and match the output impedance of the amplifier with the impedance switch on the rear panel, then connect the speaker cable from cabinet to amplifier.

All the CC are also be changed for a custom numbers, but only at order time. SAVING A PRESET Saving a preset is quite easy with Duality 100, it takes only few steps: • Choose the desired combination of functions (channel, loop, master, etc);...
LOOP FX Loop effects on D100 is between preamp output and power amp input, right before master volume. It’s a buffered 100% serial loop fx with instrument level signal. When loop effect is engaged 100% of your sound will pass thru the effect wired to send/return jacks.
D100F FOOTSWITCH Duality 100 comes with D100F footswitch. It can operate only with D100 model, so it can’t be used with D50 model. D100F also can’t be used with other amplifiers or devices, since it can be damaged by incorrect uses.

TUBE LAYOUT This amplifier comes with EL34B type tubes in the power amp section and 12AX7B in preamp, selected trusty partners Tube Doctor. Power tube can’t be changed with other type of tubes (i.e 6L6s, KT88s, etc), they can be substitute only with other EL34 type tubes.
CABINET AND SPEAKERS For the best sonic experience ever we highly suggest to play this amplifier with RedSeven Pro Cab series, especially with 4x12 model. We develop this amplifier thru this cabinet so this is the natural extension for it. We suggest you to try D100 with Celestion V30 or Greenback or a mix of both first.
By removing the amplifier form his wood cabinet or by making any modification to the original state will violate standard warranty and RedSeven Amplification will not responsible for any damage to people, things or animals. Revision 1.0 September 2018...
