distortion for the Solo channel.
3: LEVEL: Use this control to adjust the output
level of the Solo channel.
4: SOLO/CLEAN: Use this switch to select the
Solo or Clean channel. With the switch in the out

10: CD INPUT: Use these RCA jacks to connect
the output from a CD player or tape deck to the
amplifier. The signal at these jacks is combined
into a mono signal which is sent to the internal
power amp circuit. Use the CD or tape player’s
output level control to adjust the signal for the
proper mix with your guitar.
11: HEADPHONES: Use this jack to connect
headphones to the amplifier. The internal speaker
is disconnected when headphones are used.
CAUTION: To avoid possible damage to your hear-

amplifier to an external speaker. The internal
speaker is disconnected when this jack is used.
The impedance of the external speaker must be 4
ohms or greater.
WARNING: Do not attempt to use headphones in
the Speaker jack! Permanent hearing damage
could result!

on (top of the switch depressed) and off (bottom of
the switch depressed). The switch illuminates
when the amplifier is turned on.
14: POWER CORD (rear panel, not shown):
The grounded power cord should only be plugged
into a grounded power outlet that meets all appli-
cable electrical codes and is compatible with the
voltage, power, and frequency requirements stat-
ed on the rear panel. Do not attempt to defeat
the safety ground connection.
