1 POWER SWITCH: Main power switch for the unit. Tube amplifiers take between 30 seconds and 2 minutes to
warm up and be ready to play after switching on, this is normal.
The tone control works in a similar fashion to the Tone control you probably have on your guitar except that
it uniquely works at the other end of the amplification chain. This has the ability to not only control the overall top end
response but also reduce upper end harmonics on the output stage and preamplifier overdrive sounds. This will give
you bright cutting sounds at high settings and smooth rounded sounds at lower settings. (Midway (5) is a good starting
point).
VOLUME Sets how loud the amplifier is. Try
cranking it up a little to drive the power tube
harder for that real retro sound and feel, that
only a quality tube amplifier can deliver. Now
use your guitar volume to control the amount of
distortion.
Lo’ stands for low gain. This
input is attenuated down approximately 50%
from the Hi input and is designed for full range
clean sounds
‘Hi’ stands for high gain. This
input is designed to enable the amplifier to be
overdriven more easily and has a restricted low
frequency range to avoid a “mushy” sound from
high output guitars.
Experiment with both inputs to find your best
sound. To avoid poor sound only use good
quality guitar cables.
POWER INDICATOR: This lamp will be lit when the amplifier is switched on.
