Foreword

Thank you for purchasing the Ibanez TBX series guitar amplifier. Now that solid-
state guitar amps have reached a stage of maturity, Ibanez has designed an
entire series of products that deliver the highest level of sound quality and crafts-
manship in their class. Read this manual thoroughly prior to using your amplifier
in order to get the most out of the functions available. Then keep the manual in
a safe place.

Important Safety Instructions

1) Read these instructions.
2) Keep these instructions.
3) Heed all warnings.
4) Follow all instructions.
5) Do not use this apparatus near water.
6) Clean only with a dry cloth.
7) Do not block any ventilation openings.  Install in accordance with the

manufacturer’s instructions.

8) Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or

other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

9) Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug.  A

polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other.  A grounding type
plug has two blades and a third grounding prong.  The wide blade or the third
prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your
outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

10)Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs,

convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.

11)Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
12)Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods

of time.

13)Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.  Servicing is required when

the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or
plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the appara-
tus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate nor-
mally, or has been dropped.

WARNING - To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock,
do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture.

• “The Lightning Flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle, is

intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage”
within the product enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a
risk of shock to persons”.

• “The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user

to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions
in the literature accompanying the product”.

Precautions during use

1) This product is capable of producing extremely high volumes. In some cases,

this could damage your hearing or cause other bodily impairment. You must be
careful of the volume when using this product.

2) Always make sure that a speaker system of the correct impedance is connected.
3) Use this product with a power supply of the voltage that is printed on the rear

panel.

4) Place this product near the main power outlet, and ensure that the main power

plug can be easily disconnected from the main power outlet if any problem
should occur.

5) This device contains a fuse for protection. The fuse may be broken due to exter-

nal physical shock or because it has reached the end of its lifetime, but since a
broken fuse may indicate that a serious internal malfunction has occurred, please
contact your dealer before replacing the fuse.

6) When you are not using it, leave the power turned off. As long as the TBX is

connected to an electrical outlet, it is not completely insulated from the power
supply even if the power switch is turned off. If you will not be using the TBX for
an extended period, leave the power cable disconnected.

Cautions regarding location

7) If you use the TBX150H on top of a speaker cabinet, you must install this equip-

ment securely on the floor or wall. In particular if you're using two speaker cabi-
nets (i.e., a full stack), be sure to place the equipment on a flat and level surface,
and use security belts or similar fasteners to attach the equipment to the floor or
walls so that it cannot fall over.

8) Secure the provided power plug to mains socket-outlets that has a protective

ground terminal.
