ULTRATONE KT108 User Manual

1. Introduction

Congratulations! By purchasing the KT108, you have obtained a first-class
keyboard amplifier that offers you the authentic tube sound simulation in an
amazingly compact housing. The two instrument inputs and the additional
CD player input make the ULTRATONE KT108 a truly flexible practice amp that
will be tons of fun to use, no matter where or when you use it.
VTC Virtual Tube Circuitry
The VTC Virtual Tube Circuitry was specially developed to lend the keyboard
sound the unique character of classic tube amps.
Jam it up!
With its CD player input, your KT108 is the ultimate practice amp, because
it couldn't be easier to play along to your favorite music. If you don't want
anybody listening to what you're playing, or simply wish to avoid disturbing
the neighbors, just use your headphones. The BEHRINGER HPS3000 is ideal
just for that.
A companion for life!
The electronic components in your ULTRATONE KT108 have been built into
a robust metal enclosure for maximum protection. The cabinet is made of
high-grade wood covered with durable vinyl. The KT108 will never let you down,
even when the going gets tough.
◊
Please read the manual carefully and keep it around for
future reference.
ATTENTION!
◊
High volume levels can damage your hearing or your headphones.
Please turn the volume control to zero (all the way to the left)
before you power up the amp. Always make sure you use appropriate
volume levels.
