Turning the Power On/Off

The OUTPUT A (MONO) jack doubles as the power switch. Power to the unit is turned on when you plug into the OUTPUT A (MONO) jack;
the power is turned off when the cable is unplugged. When you are not using the unit, pull the plug out of the OUTPUT A (MONO) jack.
* Before turning the unit on/off, always be sure to turn the volume down. Even with the volume turned down, you might hear some
sound when switching the unit on/off. However, this is normal and does not indicate a malfunction.
When powering up: Turn on the power to your amp last.
When powering down: Turn off the power to your amp first.
