Front Panel (continued)
Reverb
Controls the wet/dry ratio between the unaffected dry signal and the wet, affected Reverb signal.
The Black Cat comes with a huge Reverb trail which works particularly well in conjunction with
the Bias Tremolo. Here the Reverb is mixed in parallel to your signal and the FX loop, which
allows for some incredible sounds with a simple delay. Turning this control fully
counterclockwise will remove the Reverb from the circuit. Turning the control clockwise will
gradually increase the amount of Reverb in the circuit. Set it where you feel it suits your playing
style and circumstances best.
Rear Panel (from left to right)
Power Input
This is where you connect your power cable. Use IEC power cable only. The cable should only be
connected to a power outlet that is compatible with the voltage, power and frequency
requirements stated on the rear panel.
Power Switch
When engaged voltage is applied to all internal circuits except for the high voltage for all signal
amplifying audio stages.
Standby Switch
Applies the high voltage to all signal amplifying audio stages.
HT Fuse
The value of the HT Fuse is specified on the rear panel. Never use a fuse of the incorrect value or
attempt to bypass it.
Footswitch
The supplied 2-button footswitch is connected here. The footswitch enables you to switch
between Channel 1 or Channel 2 and Tremolo On/Off.
FX Loop Send
This output jack sends a -10dB low impedance signal to your effects devices, regardless if it is a
pedal, a rack unit or an entire chain of effects. Use a shielded instrument cable.
FX Loop Return
High Impedance input to the recovery stage of the FX Loop and a direct input to the power amp.
This jack disconnects the preamp signal from the power amp when used in case you want to
utilize the power amp only. Plug a shielded instrument cable into this jack and connect to the
effects.
Speaker Outputs
There are overall 5 speaker outputs, 1x 16Ω, 2x 4Ω and 2x 8Ω. Both 4Ω as well as both 8Ω are
wired in parallel. In case you want to use two cabinets at the same time, 2x 16Ω cabinets should
be connected to the two 8Ω jacks, 2x 8Ω cabinets should be connected to the two 4Ω jacks.
NOTE: Always be sure that your amplifier is connected to a proper load or a speaker cabinet
before the amplifier is switched on.
Line Out
Non frequency compensated output with a tenth of the output level to drive post effects or
external power amps when running a wet/dry system or a speaker simulation device such as IR
loaders.
