Please note! To make the device operate always reliably, please follow the advice below: - Do not open the chassis (risk of electric shocks!). - Avoid dust and too much humidity, direct sunlight or too low or high temperatures. - Pay attention to ventilate the backside properly. - Do not transport the device until 10 minutes of cooling down, avoid dropping, or rough handling (tubes!).

Control elements at the front 1) INPUT (combined): 6,3mm guitar-connector (mono) to connect a high- impedance microphone or XLR-connector to connect a low-impedance microphone 2) BASS/MIDDLE/TREBLE: tone control 3) GAIN: controls the saturation of the preamp-tube (“crunch“) 4) VOLUME: main volume control 5) AUX IN: 3.5mm stereo-headphone connector for using external sound sources (mp3-player/mobile phone/CD-player, etc.) 6) EFF/REV: control to add external effects (Reverb, HA1510REV only)

Electric supply with fuse and replacement fuse (grounded rubber connector) Voltage switch: 115 or 230 volts Connectors EFF RET and EFF SEND: to add an external effects circuit (the internal reverb is muted. Applying the parallel effects loop the direct signal in the amp is mixed up with the effect's signal. The disadvantage is that some effects are limited (e.g.

7) Choose the desired volume by turning the GAIN (3) and the VOLUME control (4) to the right. 8) Choose the desired sound by adjusting the tone controls (2). 9) Add the desired Effect/Reverb-fraction to the sound by using the EFF/REV control (6).

Amplified Harmonica Playing For playing harmonica amplified the so-called bullet microphones are very popular. These high-impedance microphones often feature a non-linear frequency response - therefore they have unique tone characteristics. The technology used really can be called “out of primitive times”. The functional principle ranges from dynamic elements to crystal and ceramic capsules.

Please note: The efficiency of the tone-controls strongly depends on the microphone’s frequency response: if a microphone does not record much bass and treble frequencies the tone control of the amp cannot add more of it. Please use e.g. a singing microphone with a good linear frequency response in order to get the best results using the tone control of the amp.

Jamming at home by using the AUX-IN input Any external sound source can be connected using a 2x 3.5mm stereo headphone cable (small stereo headphone jack on each side). The maximum volume of the AUX-INPUT is fixed so please start with a low volume on your mp3-player, mobile phone or CD-player! Then you can adjust the volume of the microphone so that it fits the volume of the play along track.
