7 • Bass: 

 This control determines the amount of bass frequencies present in the amplifier 

tone.  Too much bass will make the tone less focused and could sound “muddy”.  This con-

trol does not affect the tone of channel 1.

8 • Top Cut: 

 This control is a high frequency roll off control for the amplifier’s overall tone.  

This control affects the tone of both channels.

Note:  

When setting up the tone for both channels it is recommended that the player start 

with channel 1 and use the Top Cut control to dial in the tone for that channel.  The player 

then has the 3 tone controls available for adjusting the tone of channel 2 while leaving the 

Top Cut control unchanged.

9 • Pentode / Triode Mode:

  Allows user to select between full and half power output. Do 

not change power settings unless the amplifier is in Standby Mode.

10 • Pilot Light:

  Illuminated when the amplifier is on.

11 • Standby:

  Switch to On to play through the amplifier.  Do not take the amplifier out of 

Standby for at least 30 seconds after turning the Mains On to give the tubes time to warm 

up to operating temperature.

12 • Mains:

  Switch to On to power on the amplifier.
