Page 5: Front Panel Controls
The Bass and Treble controls act much like they would on a genuine vintage amp of this type. The Galaxy is a bit unique in that you’ll find a wide range of usable tones at just about any setting of the Bass and Treble controls, but here are a few sample... -
Page 6: Lead Channel
The Lead channel starts out with a Tweed style preamp, which drives a proprietary tone-shaping circuit built around the Mid-Bite control, a unique Tone King feature. This proprietary circuit transforms the basic tweed tone to more of a crunchy rock tone as you turn up the mid-bite control. -
Page 7: Reverb
Reverb Reverb The Galaxy includes a built in 2-spring, tube-driven reverb circuit. Reverb is applied to both the Rhythm and Lead channels. In order to compensate for the higher gain of the Lead channel, the reverb drive is reduced slightly on the Lead channel. This reduction helps to match the reverb level when switching between preamp channels, when the Lead channel is being driven hard and the Rhythm channel is set for a clean tone. -

When this attenuator is installed in the Galaxy speaker cabinet, the Bypass input on the Ironman is to be connected to the Bypass output of the Galaxy head. This causes the attenuator to be bypassed then the Channel switch is set to the rhythm position. -
Page 10: Tube Installation And Replacement
Rectifier Tube V10 Rectifier Tube V10 The Galaxy has an internal rectifier that is designed to replicate the V/I curve of a 5AR4 tube. This internal rectifier does an excellent job at replicating the sound and feel you would get with a 5AR4 tube, while reducing power draw and heating of the chassis. An auxiliary tube socket (V10) and associated Rectifier Switch (shown on the diagram above) is provided to allow the use of a 5AR4 tube rectifier. -
Page 11: Notes On Currently Available Tubes
12AX7 Tubes: Both the TAD 12AX7A-C, and the Tung Sol 12AX7A are a great match for the Galaxy. Both have a nice balance of detail and warmth, with the Tung Sol having perhaps a bit more transparency in the top end, and the TAD having a bit less glassiness but still a nice presence in the upper mids. -
Page 12: Installing Tubes
Installing Tubes When installing tubes, you may find it helpful to lay the amp on its face (speaker pointing toward the ground), on a table, and shine a light directly into the back of the amp, to aid in locating the position of each tube. Tubes must be installed in the correct orientation. -
