Rebel 30-1x12 combo is 16 ohms. The
setting for the Rebel 30-2x12 combo is
8 ohms.
The correct setting for the IMPED-
ANCE switch, when in the SILENT
RECORD mode, is 16 ohms for the
Rebel-30 1x12 and 8 ohms on the 2x12
to properly match the internal load
impedance. These settings are the same
as for the internal speakers.
The correct setting for the Rebel 30
Head when using only the Silent
Record mode is 16 ohms.
9) RECORD LINE OUT: This is a
balanced cabinet simulating output
designed for silent direct recording or
as an alternate to placing a microphone
in front of the speaker for live sound
or recording. The frequency response
curve of this output very closely
mimics the sound of a mic'd speaker
cabinet. The RECORD LINE OUT is
always on when the STANDBY switch
is in the PLAY or SILENT RECORD
mode. It is OFF in the standby (middle)
position. With the STANDBY switch in
the SILENT RECORD setting (down),
an internal load is active along with the
RECORD LINE OUT to allow the all
tube power amp to be safely operated.
CAUTION: In the PLAY mode,
you MUST always have a speaker
connected to the MAIN speaker output
jack.
10&11) REVERB LEVELS: These
9
controls allow you to add any amount
of reverb to each channel individu-
ally. The Rebel 30 reverb has a unique
feature we call "spillover". Most amps
with separate reverb knobs for each
channel simply switch controls when
changing channels often causing either
an abrupt cutoff of the reverb tail or a
swell in the reverb level before decay-
ing away. The "spillover" feature al-
lows the reverb to decay naturally even
when switching channels.
12&13) EFFECTS LOOP: Basi-
cally an insert patch point. When an
external effect is patched into the
series send and return jacks, the path
is interrupted and 100% of the signal
is routed through the effect. This puts
some special demands on the effects
unit. It must be essentially transparent,
meaning it shouldn't "mess" with your
tone. The input and output levels must
be properly set for maximum headroom
and lowest noise. Proper setting of the
levels can be achieved using the fol-
lowing method:
a) Set your amp/preamp volume
levels for normal playing
levels. Connect a high quality
shielded cable from the series
send jack to the effect input.
b) Adjust the effects unit input
level to "just peak" while
playing your most aggressive
licks.

c) Now connect another high
quality shielded cable from the
effect output to the return jack.
d) Adjust the effects unit output
level to the match the volume
you heard before connecting
the return cable. You can check
this by pulling the cable in and
out of the return jack while
playing and verifying there is
no substantial volume
difference. This is called "unity
gain". A cool "techie" phrase
for "you get out what you put
in". If your effects gadget does
not have level controls, it can
be assumed you will get unity
gain when plugged in.
NOTE: Depending on how loud
you play, the level at the loop may
be higher than normal guitar level.
Though many floor type and tabletop
effects may work, some may tend to
overload. You will know an effect is
not made for higher levels if, when
you plug it the effect into the loop, you
notice distortion and/or a loss of vol-
ume. Most modern effects (including
many pedals) can operate just fine in
an effects loop. We have gone to great
lengths to make the Rebel loop com-
patible with as many different effects
gadgets as possible.
