RedPlate MagicDust Operations Guide
DRIVE 1 - The indicator comes on when the Drive #1 section is active. The footswitch button
does not work when the front panel Drive #1 Gain control is rotated to zero because it is a duplicate
function.
BOOST – Girth Boost feature which adds volume and tone by doing a full tone lift. The
footswitch button has no effect when the front panel Tone control is rotated to zero because it is a
duplicate function.
DRIVE 2 - The indicator comes on when the Drive #2 section is active. The footswitch button
does not work when the front panel Drive #2 Gain control is rotated to zero because it is a duplicate
function.
1. Check the Standby switch to make sure it is toggled downward for Standby operation.
2. Toggle the main power switch to the up position (this switch is located at the top of the IEC
input module). The front panel pilot light should be lit.
3. Wait one minute and then toggle the Standby switch upwards to the Operate position.
4. POWER OFF – Toggle the main power switch downward, there is no need to go into
standby first although it will not hurt anything.
Your MagicDust amp has been designed for years of trouble free operation. The vacuum tubes
will need to be replaced over time. We recommend new output tubes every 160 - 240 hours and
new preamp tubes every 320 - 480 hours.
The front and rear panels have a protective finish that can be easily scratched with abrasives
so always use a damp soft cloth to clean them (never use paper towels). The cabinetry can be
cleaned with our super secret tolex cleaner (on a paper towel - 2 squirts of WD-40 and 4 squirts
window cleaner), try it next time you clean your stage cables, it makes them look and feel like new.
