POWER SWITCH: Main power switch for the unit. Tube amplifiers take between 30 seconds and 2 minutes to warm
up and be ready to play after switching on, this is normal.
POWER INDICATOR: This lamp will be lit when the amplifier is switched on.

TONE:

uniquely works at the other end of the amplification chain. This has the ability to not only control the overall top end
response but also reduce upper end harmonics on the output stage and preamplifier overdrive sounds. This will give you
bright cutting sounds at high settings and smooth rounded sounds at lower settings. (Midway (5) is a good starting point).
VOLUME Sets how loud the amplifier is. Try cranking it up a little to drive the power tube harder for that real retro

sound and feel, that only a quality tube amplifier can deliver. Now use your guitar volume to control the amount of
distortion.

The tone control works in a similar fashion to the Tone control you probably have on your guitar except that it

GAIN: Controls the amount of gain applied to
the preamplifier. High settings will give
preamplifier distortion and low settings will give
a clean sound. Use in conjunction with the
volume control to obtain the balance of
preamplifier and power stage distortion you
desire.
LO INPUT: ' Lo' stands for low gain. This
input is attenuated down approximately 50%
from the Hi input and is designed for full range
clean sounds
HI INPUT: 'Hi' stands for high gain. This input
is designed to enable the amplifier to be
overdriven more easily and has a restricted low
frequency range to avoid a "mushy" sound from
high output guitars.
Experiment with both inputs to find your best
sound. To avoid poor sound only use good quality
guitar cables.
