- Page 4 Introduction to Fuchs Audio Technology Amplifiers What makes our products unique? The recent proliferation of "Boutique” amplifiers, allow guitarists to recognized what audiophiles have known for years, properly designed tube circuits can offer the finest musicality, detail, and sensitivity to playing subtleties of any type amplifier.
- Page 5 All passive parts are carefully chosen for both reliability and sonic attributes. Each and every Fuchs amplifier undergoes 20-40 hours of “burn-in” before leaving our shop. This ensures every Fuchs amp is built for the long haul. ®© 2000-2005 Fuchs Audio Technology. All rights reserved. ODSm 3/2005...
- Page 6 Please read before powering up your ODS Please see Panel Diagrams in next section 3 for assistance. 1) Inspect to make sure power & pre-amp tubes are intact & snuggly seated in their sockets. 2) Make certain a speaker (load) is plugged into the correct speaker input jack on the back of the amplifier (4 or 8 ohm).

Page 8: Front Panel Controls And Their Functions
Front Panel Controls and Their Functions Input Jack(s): Input jack(s), are 1/4" phone plugs, designed for 1-Meg impedance, guitar-level signal. This input will readily accept pedals/effects without any loss in performance. The design of the ODS amplifier is quite flexible, so we first suggest exploring its performance without any effects or pedals initially. - Page 9 There are no “correct” Overdrive settings, finding the desired tone setting depends on the guitars/pickups used, as well as your own personal tastes. (Note: An internal trimmer pot, factory set at approx 1/3 rotation, sets the amount of signal fed from the clean channel into the overdrive stage's first tube.
- Page 10 (A)-REAR Panel Controls, inputs/outputs, (B)-Effects Loop (A)-REAR panel Controls/input/output jacks AC power cord input: Using the supplied 120vac power cord. Connect AC POWER IN on amplifier and to AC power source. AC power Fuse: This fuse protects the amplifier if any malfunction occurs. Use ONLY stock fuse rating as supplied by factory.
- Page 11 (B)-Effects Loop Using the Loop: When inserting a device like an equalizer, or perhaps a Sonic Maximizer (or similar processor), the loop should be set in series mode. The mix controls on the outboard device can be used to control all effects and the balance between clean and dirty effects.
- Page 12 Footswitches Your ODS will be provided with either: a 2 button standard, 4 button “Artist” , or 6 button “Artist Plus” footswitch depending on your purchase selection. Standard 2-Way footswitch: Connects via ¼” phone cable (supplied) to rear panel input. Left button controls Clean/Overdrive switching, Right button controls Reverb on/off.
