4) Before switching on, set the Master Volume to the minimum setting. The first time the amp is used, we
recommend setting all the other controls to their mid setting.
5) Now flip the Power switch to the up (on) position. The power status lamp should be lit. Wait at least one minute
for the tubes to warm up.
adjust the controls as mentioned above.
6) After at least one minute you can flip the Standby switch to the up (on) position. You will notice that the amp
defaults to Preset 1. Gradually turn up the Master Volume to the required playing level. Now you can adjust the rest
of the controls to taste, change channels and operate the other functions on the front panel and footcontroller.
7) During short periods of not playing the amplifier can be switched to Standby so that it isn't producing any output,
but is warmed up for immediate use when needed. If longer than 30 minutes or so it's probably best to switch off
completely.
8) At the end of a playing session it's good practice to turn the Master Volume to minimum then flip the Standby
switch to the down (off) position before switching the Power switch to the down (off) position. The rest of the
controls can be left as set. Finally we recommend not moving the amplifier for a few minutes to allow the tubes time
to cool down.
Channel 1
This is the 'clean' channel. Depending on the specific setting of the controls, it can produce sparkly clean
sounds with plenty of headroom, through to warmer clean tones with a bit of edge from the tubes when
driven harder.
(3) Channel Select:
Press this switch to select Channel 1, the corresponding LED will be lit either green or red.
Green is the normal setting; red is when Over-Boost is also on for this channel. Pressing this switch again
will alternate between with or without Over-Boost.
If Over-Boost is selected for this channel then this is remembered when you change to another channel.
Therefore you don't need to switch it on each time you return to this channel.
Switching of both the channel and Over-Boost can also be done on the footcontroller.
(4) Over-Boost:
If Over-Boost is selected on this channel then this control becomes active and sets the amount of pre
gain/drive for this channel. At the minimum setting there will be little difference between the normal
and Over-Boost sounds, but, as the control is increased, the tube driven stomp box style overdrive will
increase and be blended with the straight sound. Blending the two sounds helps to keep the tone well
defined as it retains the attack of the original notes.
