Page 2 When using two cabinets that have the same ohm rating, a Y adapter (available from Reverend) must be used to run both cabinets into one jack. Total ohm rating will then equal half of one cabinet (example: two 8 ohm cabinets will equal 4 ohms, so use the 4 ohm jack with a Y adapter).
Page 3 Reverend Guitars PRE-AMP TUBES - Use 12AX7 type only. Replace when noisy or malfunctioning. Selected tubes available from Reverend. 1st PRE-AMP TUBE - This is the tube farthest to the right when facing the back of the amp. 12AX7 is stock, however a 12AT7 tube may be substituted for more clean headroom - see Sample Settings.
