Power/Standby; Half Power - Diamond Decada Owner's Manual

knobs. This will give you the best idea as to what effect that knob has on the
overall tone of the amp.

Power/standby

Always keep the Power switch off when unplugging and plugging in to your power source.
Once the amp is turned on (the jewel light will illuminate to indicate power is on), and when
you have made all the appropriate connections, take the amp off standby. Allow the amp to
warm up for several minutes before playing for optimal result.
You should always return the amp to standby before turning off to allow the amp to
"discharge" voltage. Doing this habitually will extend the life of your amp.
HALF PO W E R
Your Decada also comes equipped with a Half Power switch, which switches your output
stage to triode rather than pentode operation. This cuts your 100w amp to effectively half-
power allowing you to open it up without the ear splitting 100watts of power!
It is preferable that you operate this switch only when the amp is off, but failing to do so will
not likely damage your amp.
