Quick Set Up
If you're like most new owners, you're probably in a hurry to use your new X-Amp. Here are some brief
instructions to get you started.
1) CONNECTING AC POWER
• Check and change if necessary the rear AC Voltage Switch to the proper voltage. On some models a switch
will not be not found, instead pull out the Fuse Holder (built into the AC cord receptacle) and turn it over to
the proper voltage as seen on the holder.This automatically switches the voltage and the fuse to the proper
voltage and fuse value. On units with an AC Voltages Switch, change the fuse as necessary (fuse values are
listed on the rear panel).
• Use only a grounded (3 prong) power outlet to prevent a shock hazard. This provides the quietest and safest
method of operation.
2) CONNECTING SPEAKERS
• X60 / XT112 / XV112 / XV212 COMBO AMPS
panel. Be sure the IMPEDANCE switch is set properly or reduced power will result. The impedance is listed
on the rear label of the speaker. Both jacks are wired in parallel. Be sure the RMS POWER switch is
selected for full power.
• X-50B / X100B H E A D S
Use either of the two speaker jacks on the rear panel. Be sure the IMPEDANCE switch is set properly or
reduced power will result. The impedance is listed on the rear label of the enclosure. Both jacks are wired in
parallel. If using a double 8 speaker stack, then select 4 . Be sure the RMS POWER switch is selected
for full power.
3) CONNECTING THE GUITAR TO YOUR AMP
• Use a high quality shielded audio cable. Plug your instrument into the "HI" input jack for maximum gain.
4) TURNING YOUR AMP ON
• Turn all volume and reverb controls off.
• Be sure all volume control switches are pushed in.
• Plug in your amp and speakers. Turn the amp ON and STANDBY off (up)
• Proceed with the following:
5) RHYTHM VOLUME CONTROL
• This control does two things. First, it controls the volume level of your clean playing.
• Secondly, it's a BRIGHT switch when pulled out.
• NOTE: If your guitar is full on and you have hot pickups or active electronics, you may want to turn the
guitar volume down slightly or use the LO INPUT jack (-6dB) to prevent input clipping (distortion) of the
first stage.
6) LEAD DRIVE CONTROL
• This control does two things. First, it switches the amp from the Rhythm Channel to the Lead Drive
Channel when you pull the knob out.
• Secondly, rotating the knob adjusts the amount of Lead overdrive. The amount can be varied from nearly
clean at "0" to full tube overdrive at "10". This will give you the full range from tube crunch to a full
blown cranked output.
• For more drive, pull out the MASTER CONTROL to switch in the hot rodded 20db gain circuit. Your
sound will get fatter with more sustain—not louder.
• NOTE: The guitar's volume control acts like a remote Lead Drive control too. So, for maximum drive, the
guitar should be full on.
7) MASTER VOLUME CONTROL
• This control does two things. It controls the overall volume of the LEAD DRIVE channel.
• And, by pulling the control out, it engages the hot rodded circuit as mentioned earlier.
• Because of the hot rodded nature of
this amp, the MASTER volume control can not be turned up full when the TREBLE and PRESENCE
controls are turned up or squealing will result from the extreme gain.
8) ACTIVE TONE CONTROLS
• Set the BASS, MID, TREBLE and PRESENCE controls at their mid point "5". This is the natural or
"flat" position of the amp. Be careful, because these controls offer more boost and cut than standard
controls. Never turn all the controls up full or squealing will result. If you need more MASTER volume,
Use either of the two speaker jacks on the rear
