Front Panel Controls and Their Functions Input Jack(s): Input jack(s), are 1/4" phone plugs, designed for 1-Meg impedance, guitar-level signal. This input will readily accept pedals/effects without any loss in performance. The design of the Clean Machine amplifier is quite flexible, so we first suggest exploring its performance without any effects or pedals initially.

NOTE: There are no internal trimmer pots, other than output tube bias and AC balance controls for the power amplifier stage. There are no internal tone altering controls in a Clean Machine II. These internal controls are best left to professional technicians, who have the proper measuring equipment to set them properly. There are hazardous voltages present in any tube amplifier, even after it has been shut off for some period of time.
