Preparing to Operate your Dream Single Channel Amplifier
Make certain that all connections are made prior to operating your Amplifier including power cable,
speaker connection, instrument cable and instrument connection. Make certain that all tubes are
installed.
Power Switch (1)
The POWER switch, when placed in the DOWN position, provides AC wall power to the amplifier.

Standby Switch (2)

The STANDBY switch, when placed in the UP position, puts the amplifier in 'standby mode' allowing
the tubes to warm up. When this switch is place in the DOWN position, the tube circuitry is fully
functional and ready to amplify your guitar signal.
HybridMASTER™ (3)
The HYBRID MASTER control allows you to set the overall volume level of the amplifier independ-
ent of the volume and tone settings established on the front panel. Think of this as a "micro" volume
adjustment. When turned all the way up (full clock-wise rotation), HybridMASTER is completely re-
moved from the circuit. HybridMASTER is patent-pending.
Stage/Studio Switch (4)
The STAGE/STUDIO MODE switch allows you to operate the amp at full volume (Stage mode) or at
an 80% reduction in volume (Studio mode). Think of this as a "macro" volume adjustment.

Presence Control (5)

The PRESENCE control allows you to adjust the character or 'forwardness' of your sound. Low set-
tings create 'darker' tones, whereas higher settings create a 'brilliant' or crisp sound.
NOTE: that the PRESENCE control is not included on the Dream 40 AC model.
