Page 3: Important Safety Instructions
CAUTION: No user serviceable parts inside, refer servicing to qualified personnel only. FRYETTE® amplifiers and loudspeaker systems are capable of producing very high sound pressure levels which may cause temporary or permanent hearing damage. Use care when setting and adjusting volume levels during use. - Page 4 FRONT PANEL OVERVIEW INPUT – Plug your guitar in here. CLEAN CHANNEL B. CHANNEL SWITCH – Manually selects N. VOLUME – Sets the channel gain and volume channels. Set to CLEAN for footswitch and determines send level to the EFFECTS LOOP.
- Page 5 A UNIQUE APPROACH TO TONE AND FEEL THE LEAD CHANNEL To say that the SIG:X lead channel is extremely versatile is something of an understatement. It can do everything from pristine clean to fully saturated, highly detailed super-gain at pretty much any desired volume setting.
- Page 6 This is probably the most versatile channel on the amplifier and produces what many consider to be the signature FRYETTE sound. Much more flexible than your average medium gain channel, it is capable of producing some brilliant cleans as well as pretty devastating solo settings. The RHYTHM channel differs from the LEAD channel only in VOICING switch nomenclature and internal tone shaping.

- Page 9 SAMPLE SETTNGS If the SIG:X is about anything, it’s about transition. Most multi-channel amps give you a one trick pony on each channel at best, and multiple channels of one average sound at worst. Marketing and engineering people try to sell us little blocks of canned “sounds”...
- Page 10 RHYTHM CHANNEL SETTINGS These settings can be used with any type of guitar and although they are named according to their general style, this in no way limits how they might be applied. The RHYTHM BLUES setting for example would be a fat lead setup with a dark sounding overdrive pedal.
- Page 11 LEAD CHANNEL SETTINGS Most tube amplifiers can do pretty decent solo or overdrive sounds and some can be amazing. But how often do you see an amplifier manual that shows a clean setting for the hi-gain channel? Our guess is that this would be the first.
- Page 12 REAR PANEL FEATURES AND FUNCTIONS SPEAKER OUTPUT CONNECTIONS 16 OHM SPEAKER OUTPUT – One 16 ohm output jack is provided for connection to a 16 ohm cabinet. This is a very cool and simple feature. When using a single 16 ohm 4X12, cabinet, simply connect it to the 16 ohm jack.
