Radial Tonebone™ manual V1.1 - 07-09-02 Specifications and appearence subject to change without notice.
Turn your amp up to a comfortable listening level and adjust the LEVEL output control for unity gain, i.e.: the level with Tonebone on (LED is on) matches the level with it off (LED off). Now start turning knobs! You will find that most of the controls are intuitive and extremely sensitive to changes.
LEVEL DRIVE FILTER control: Used to balance the high frequency ratio between the amplifier and the ToneBone - Hint: start adjustments at the full clockwise position and work backwards. MID BOOST switch: Gives you +7dB & +12dB boost @ 360Hz.
LEVEL control: This is used to adjust the output level without altering any of the tonal characteristics. Foot-switch: True-Bypass type; i.e.: when the Tonebone is off, the signal passes straight through without any effect. An on/off status indicator LED is provided.
7. Changing the tube: Your Tonebone has been designed to provide years of performance before changing the tube. In fact, it is unlikely that a tube change will be necessary for two to three years or more, depending on use. Change the tube only when a degradation of sound is noticeable.
I am getting sound but no distortion… Make sure you have not connected the Tonebone backwards by reversing the input and output. If connections are correct, check the tube. If the problem persists, see your Tonebone dealer.
