Himmelstrutz Space Gnome
Owner's Manual
(Serial. #001-)
Congratulations on your choice of Himmelstrutz Space Gnome (HSG)—your analogue alternative/complement to your valve
spring-reverb-equipped amplifier which may be fantastic but is big + heavy and requires maintenance and probably much
electrical energy/power. Tip: Read this document before connecting the wires to power up and play your HSG, which will
give you a better understanding about this unique Swedish product.
Setup/usage:
1. Preparation
Adjust the Vol control to zero. The Vol control sets the Output
Power for the speaker & also the Rec-Out# level.
2. Speaker
Connect a speaker of 8 to 16 Ω to the Speaker 1/4" Jack.
Note1: As there's no speaker included with HSG, it's your
mission to obtain one or more of 8 to 16 Ω speaker cabinet(s)
aimed for guitar amplifiers. Please check this out with your
local music dealer or Online.
Note 2: If you're used of valve amplifiers you probably know
a speaker MUST be connected, for safety. No worries here: if
you don't connect a speaker to HSG it will not be unsafe—it
may only be silent while no speaker is connected but it will
not destroy the amplifier!
3. Instrument in
Connect your instrument, or the output from your pedal(s) to
the Input
.
1/4" Jack
