 Ensure you use an intact AC cord with an insulated plug only! 

Before you power the amp up, ensure the voltage value printed beside the
AC socket corresponds to the available current.

18 AC FUSE BOX

Contains mains fuse (rear chamber) and spare fuse (front chamber).

NOTE:

 Ensure replacement fuses bear identical ratings (refer to the table)!

19 Footswitch: Master A - B; Contour

1/4" stereo jack for double footswitches, executes the following functions:
    1.Switching between the two Master volume controls A and B (mono terminal)
    2.Contour switching (stereo terminal).

Please note:

 If a footpedal is connected to this jack,  the Lo Master - Hi Master function automatically 

converts to the Master A - B feature. In this case it can only be accessed via the footswitch.

20 Footswitch: Clean - Lead; Gain Lo - Hi

1/4" stereo jack for double footswitches, executes the following functions:
    1.Channel switching Clean - Lead (mono terminal)
    2.Gain Lo - Hi (stereo terminal).

21 F.X. Loop: Send

Signal output for the Effects loop. Connect this output to a signal processor’s 
input/return jack via a shielded cable with 1/4" plugs.

22 F.X. Loop: Return

Signal input for the Effects loop. Connect this input to a signal processor’s 
output/send jack via a shielded cable with 1/4" plugs.

23 Balance

FX mix control for the Effects loop: Rotate the knob to the DRY position for the pure amp 
signal, i.e. no effect on the signal. Turn clockwise to blend in an effect connected to the loop 
to the dry signal (parallel/passive). At the Effect position, only the wet signal, i.e. the signal 
sent from the FX device is fed to the power amp (serial/passive).

NOTE:

 If no effects processor is connected to this loop, leave this control in position DRY!

24 Poweramp Output: 4 Ohms parallel

4 ohms speaker output jacks, internal parallel signal path for the connection of one 4 ohms cabinet 
or two 8 ohms speaker cabinets.

25 Poweramp Output: 8 Ohms parallel

8 ohms speaker output jacks, internal parallel signal path for the connection of one 8 ohms cabinet
or two 16 ohms speaker cabinets.

26 Poweramp Output: 16 Ohms

16 ohms speaker output jack, for the connection of one 16 ohms speaker cabinet.

NOTE: Never operate the amplifier without a sufficient load, otherwise you may 
damage or destroy the power amp! Ensure your cabinet’s specifications match the 
espective output’s specs.
Possible speaker cabinet options:

1 x 4z or 2 x 8z or 1 x 8z or 2 x 16z or 1 x 16z.

14 Master B - Hi Gain

Use this control (post FX Loop) to set the poweramp´s master volume when the preamp is in Hi-Gain mode. 
Connect a footswitch to Jack 19 if you want to convert this control for use as Master B.
You can then use the footswitch to activate two different master volumes (Master A and Master B).
