effect. Make sure that the led isn't clipping (going in the red) so that the effect is distorting
your signal. Set the return control for the desired amount of effect.
Footswitch: You will find all your controls neatly arranged on the footswitch. You can access
the Channel switching, Cabinet switching and Parallel Effects Loop switching functions of the
amp simply by depressing the footswitch button. To access the channel and loop switching
functions from the footswitch, install one end of the stereo cable included to the 1/4" jack
labeledChannel/Loop Jack on the side of the footswitch and route the other end to the front
panel of the Stringmaster labeled Footswitch . To access the cabinet switching feature install
one end of the mono cable included to the 1/4" jack labeled Cabinet Jack on the side of the
footswitch and insert the other to the jack labeled Cab on the rear of the chassis. If you want
the amplifier to cabinet switch at the same time that you channel switch to your Hi Gain
channel, set the Lead Link switch to the right. This automatically routes your lead signal to an
external speaker cabinet of your choice. The Stringmaster loves our closed back 2x12 and
4x12 extensions.
Note: Please use only a high quality insulated speaker plug for the auxiliary speaker outputs.
Make sure you set the proper ohmage matched to your speaker cabinet by way of the
switches on the rear of the chassis. You will find a select switch for 4, 8 and 16 ohms. Also,
when using the cab switching feature from either the footswitch or Lead Link , make sure that
you plug your extension cabinet into aux out 1.
Slave: The slave out is an identical replication of the signal coming off the speaker outputs of
your amp with a padded eq circuit. Feel free to experiment by sending the Slave Out signal to
an external stereo power amp feeding a couple of 2x12 or 4x12 extensions for a wall o sound!
Another option is to send the Slave Out signal to a recording console for DI tones to tape, or
send it to a board for a signal feed to the mains for live applications in a club or arena. When
slaving make sure that there is always a load on the speaker out of your amp.
* A note of interest is that the power section of this amplifier is an extremely powerful 30 watts
and we recommend using Budda extension cabinets that are fine tuned to the Stringmaster
electronics for maximum sonic performance. Some cabinets with minimum baffle space may
sound woofy, especially with low wattage Celestions.
**Budda also recommends that you wear ear plugs to avoid the serious complications of
hearing loss. Budda say; Steer Clear of Bad Ear!
