Introduction
Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the Velocity ® 250 guitar power amplifier! The
Velocity 250 was designed to provide the greatest flexibility with the highest reliability,
even under extreme operating conditions. This 2-rackspace amp will provide 125
watts/channel when used in stereo applications or 250 watts mono bridged into a 8
ohm load—without a cooling fan!
The Velocity 250 has a unique "Reactance" circuit that actually replicates the
output impedance of tube amplifiers—so you can get the same great sound that a tube
amplifier delivers in a reliable solid state design. And, because it is a variable control,
you can customize your Velocity 250 to sound like any of your favorite tube amps. Best
of all, this feature is available in the mono bridged mode too!
In addition, the Velocity 250 has "Definition" controls to give you that little bit of
edge you need to bring your playing out in the mix. It also has automatic short circuit
protection, which detects problems and shuts down the amplifier before any internal
damage can be done. It also has massive heatsinks for cool, reliable performance.
Other Features:
• 115/230 VAC voltage selector switch.
• An AC power detect circuit, which ensures that the amplifier outputs
shut down first when AC is removed. This will guard against any
thumps or pops that could otherwise occur, potentially damaging
speakers when power is cut to the amplifier.
• Differential input buffers to eliminate ground loop hum coming from the
power amp.
• Over-temperature protection
• Rock-solid design to provide reliable, trouble-free use.
