RED CHANNEL SELECT
illuminates up to i ndicate the LEAD channel is
active.
GAIN: Rotate this knob to determine the amount of
d istortion in the LEAD channel.
MASTER: Dial this knob to control the LEAD
channel's v olume level.
EQ
SECTION: The Bass, Mid and Treble knobs
affect both channels. Mid and Treble influence
one another, an a ttribute considered normal and
desirable in a tube amp. Boosting treble decreases
midrange honk and vice versa: jacking up the mids
cuts back on the high-end shimmer.
REVERB: Controls the intensity of the on-board
reverb effect.
POWER: The Edition Tube's mains power switch.
MAINS
IN: Connect the included Euro-norm mains
cord to this socket. Ensure the amp's voltage rating
matches your local AC power rating before you plug
the cord into the wall outlet.
EXTERNAL
SPEAKER: Use this jack to connect
external s peaker enclosures with an overall
impedance ranging from 8 to 16 ohms (an 8-ohm
cabinet, for example, would work nicely). The
internal loudspeaker remains in operation.
RETURN: Connect this jack to the output of your
signal p rocessor.
SEND: Connect this jack to the input of your signal
p rocessor.

3.0 Operation
3.1 Selecting Sounds
When you're ready to tweak the settings for both of
the fundamental sounds that the Edition Tube has to
offer, we recommend you proceed as follows:
• D ial in all your sound settings with the guitar's
volume knob turned all the way up so that it give
the amp the h ighest possible level to work with.
• F irst concentrate on tuning the CLEAN channel
VOLUME knob to dial in the desired volume level
and amount of overdrive.
• O nce you're satisfied with that sound, activate the
LEAD channel and use the GAIN knob to shape
the second f undamental sound to suit your taste.
• N ow adjust the LEAD MASTER to dial in the
desired b alance of levels between the LEAD and
CLEAN channels.
3.2 Using Signal Processors
The Edition Tube is equipped with a serial effects
loop. This means that the entire preamp signal is
routed to the FX device and processed there. For
this reason, use only high-quality signal processors
that do not color the signal u nnecessarily, add undue
noise, or impair its sound quality.
Connecting effect devices:
• C onnect the SEND jack to the processor's input,
and the RETURN jack to the processor's output.
• T o avoid noise, signal loss, and signals from being
cut off, use high-quality patch cords only.
• M ake sure the processor is not distorting the
signal. Check the processor's level meter and use its
input and output controls to dial in a suitable level.
• U nless you're going for bizarre lo-fi effects,
distortion d evices are not designed for use in an FX
loop. As a rule of thumb, any kind of device that
compresses the signal should be connected first in
the signal chain. Depending on the type of effect
you want to achieve, you may want to connect a
compressor to the amp's input.
• I f you are using several processors or stomp boxes,
ensure you connect them in the proper sequence.
Volume pedals, wah-wahs and the like evoke a
slightly d ifferent sound and elicit a different response
when you plug them into the Edition Tube's front
panel input rather than the effects loop. Both can
sound hip, so which option you choose is a matter of
personal preference.
