FRONT PANEL SWITCHING
Your amp’s front panel comes equipped with 3 small toggle switches. Switch 1 switches
between Channel 1 and Channel 2. Channel 1 is to the right as you face the amp, which is
the “off” position of the switch.
HAMMERSMITH CONTROLLER (FOOTSWITCH)
The supplied footswitch is as rugged as the amp. Featuring the highest grade of switches
and a 14 gauge steel chassis, you’ll be hard pressed to kill this piece. Note: the front panel
switches will override the footswitch. Hence, for the footswitch to operate correctly, all
front panel switches must be in the “off” position, which is toward the right when facing the
front panel. The front panel switches are made to override the footswitch in the event of an
emergency (probably caused by your bass player).
ALTERNATE SWITCHING METHODS
Your amp’s switching jack on the back panel allows you to control your amp with any device
that conducts simple latching tip to ground switching functions (e.g., the Diamond
Amplification/RJM Music MAC-2, a Bradshaw (Custom Audio Electronics) switching system,
an RJM Music Amp Gizmo, a TC Electronic G-System, a GCX switching system or a simple
latching footswitch).
To get the most of your amp if you’re a MIDI kinda player, we recommend our MAC-2, which
will allow you to use this jack and switch your amp with any standard MIDI controller! MIDI
In/Thru also allows you to control your MIDI effects and your amp at the same time from one
controller.
