FOOTSWITCH is a 5-pin DIN jack for the included footswitch. Use the footswitch to control the channel selection and SOLO
modes. Red LED ON indicates Channel 2, and red LED OFF indicated Channel 1. Green LED ON indicates SOLO mode
active (Channel 2 only) , and green LED OFF indicates SOLO mode inactive (MASTER Channel 2 active).
NOTE – if the FOOTSWITCH is plugged in, but the front panel CHANNEL toggle is DOWN, the foot pedal LED indicators will
still light up but functions will not be switched. For the FOOTSWITCH to function, front panel CHANNEL toggle must be UP.
SEND ¼" instrument jack can be used to directly interface the preamps of the King Kong, thereby bypassing the power
amplifier. Conversely, this is usually used as the SEND of the effects loop. Plug the input of your effects unit, or interface
device (ex – C-lator, Klein-ulator) into this jack using ¼" instrument cable.
RETURN ¼" instrument jack can be used to directly interface the power amp of the King Kong, thereby bypassing the preamp
and using the amplifier as a power amplifier. Conversely, this is usually used as the RETURN of the effects loop. Plug the
output of your effects unit, or interface device (ex – C-lator, Klein-ulator) into this jack using ¼" instrument cable.
IMPEDANCE SELECTOR three-way rotary selector. Set to the position that matches the impedance of your speaker cabinet.
NOTE – if you are using two speaker cabinets in parallel (ex – two 16 Ohm cabinets), set the impedance selector to half that of
a single cabinet (in this case, 8 Ohms).
SPEAKERS ¼" speaker cable jacks. Use a ¼" speaker cable to connect your speaker cabinet to the amplifier using these
jacks. If you use one speaker cabinet, either jack is acceptable.
NOTE – never turn your amplifier to OPERATE mode ("1" / DOWN position on STANDBY) without connecting the amplifier to a
speaker cabinet or suitable dummy load! Failing to do so may damage your amplifier!
FULL / HALF switches the power output of the power amp. For the 100W King Kong, half mode is approximately 50W, and for
the 50W King Kong, this is approximately 20W. HALF mode configures the power tubes to run in triode operation, and this
negates any need to reconfigure the IMPEDANCE SELECTOR.
