22. Power Indicator Light
The power indicator will light when the amplifier is switched on.
23. Standby
This switch applies the H.T. (High Tension) voltage required to produce sound to the
output stage. Always turn this switch on at least 30 seconds after the Power switch
(24). During short breaks in playing use just this switch to turn 'off' and 'on' the
amplifier's output.
24. Power
This switch is used to turn the amplifier on and off. You should always turn this switch
on before turning on the Standby switch (23).
MIDI Channel Switching
The Series One offers the ability to control channel selection via MIDI Program
Change messages and interfacing with most MIDI controllers is a straight forward
process. The Series One can be placed in a MIDI chain allowing you to
simultaneously select a channel on the amplifier and change the patch on a MIDI
effects processor connected to the effects loop. There are 128 available Program
Changes, giving you the possibility to access a vast number of tonal combinations.
To set-up MIDI channel switching, simply connect the MIDI controller's MIDI Out
socket to the MIDI In socket on the rear of the amplifier. The controller should be set
to transmit Program Change messages (this is usually the case). From new, a Series
One amplifier is set to OMNI mode and responds to Program Change messages on
all MIDI channels. Changing 'patches' on the controller will change the selected
channel on the amp. The default settings for each Program Change number are
shown in the table below:

Program Change Assignment
To change the default assignments and set the amp up to respond to a different set
of Program Changes:
1. The amp must be powered on with either the Standby switch set to on, a jack
in the Input socket, or both.
2. Send the appropriate Program Change message to the amp.
3. Press and hold in the appropriate front panel Channel Select switch for 2
seconds.
The corresponding channel will be selected and its LED will flash three times in quick
succession to indicate it has been assigned to the last received Program Change.
The amplifier will now remember the selection. Repeat the operation until all your
Program Changes have the desired amp channel assigned to them.
MIDI Receive Channel Selection
As mentioned previously, the default mode is set to OMNI and will respond to MIDI
Program Changes on all MIDI channels. You may wish to set the amp to respond to
Program Changes on just a single MIDI channel. The Series One can be set to
respond in this way for any of the first seven MIDI channels as follows:
1. The unit must be in standby (Power (24) on and Standby (23) off), and no lead
connected to the Input jack.
2. Simultaneously press and hold the Bright Clean (3) and Crunch (9) Select
switches.
3. After 2 seconds the LED for Super Crunch (10) will begin to flash continuously
(2 flashes per second) to indicate that the unit is in MIDI Receive Channel
Program Mode.
4. Release the Bright Clean (3) and Crunch (9) Select switches and select the
required MIDI channel by using the Channel Select switches as shown in the
table below:
Bright Clean

LED.
