FAST TRACK GUIDE AND SWITCH ON SEQUENCE
1. Check that the POWER switch on the rear panel is set to OFF and that the unit has
the correct speaker load connected.
2. Connect the unit to an appropriate mains power point with the mains lead provided.
We also recommend that the MASTER volume is turned down to zero before switch
on or switch off purely to prevent any unwanted noises from being amplified loudly.
Switch POWER switch to the STANDBY position.
3. While the unit is warming up (allow at least one minute), connect your instrument to
the INPUT socket on the front panel and connect any effects units that may be used.
4. Switch POWER switch from STANDBY to ON.
5. Set all front panel controls to half way as a starting point and then adjust to taste.
6. After use, switch to STANDBY and then OFF.

FRONT PANEL
Preamp features and controls
The preamp section is 100% valve and consists of two parallel preamp channels and a
BOOST function that can be used on either channel. This allows FOUR different sounds
to be selected from either the front panel or 2-way footswitch. Using the optional 5-way
foot controller allows both channels to be used at once with BOOST on or off giving a
total of SIX available preamp sounds.
A regulated DC supply is used throughout the preamp for the cathode heaters, this
massively reduces any hum picked up within the preamp to extremely low levels, even
when set for high gain.
When first switched on the unit should default to PREAMP ONE (green LED), BOOST off
(LED off), EFFECTS off and REVERB on.
Input
A single jack socket is provided for connection to your instrument. This has a high
impedance input which allows for perfect matching to both passive and active guitars.
When there is no jack inserted into the input, the output of the preamp to the power
stage is muted; this prevents any noise from being amplified when the unit is not in use.
N.B. Please read the section on the EFFECTS LOOP if a SUPER 'GOLDTONE' is to be
used as a slave amp for a stereo set-up.
