Thank You!

We would first and foremost like to thank you for purchasing your amplifier from ValveTrain 
Amplification.  Your selection means a great deal to us.

Just so you know where we stand on things…

We are committed to providing the most discriminating guitarists in the universe the best possible 
products in amplification.

We build a limited portfolio of hand wired amplifiers based off the most sought after circuits in 
history using the best parts available.

Getting Started

There are several things you should know to get started with your new amplifier.

There are no user serviceable items inside the chassis of this amplifier.  For your own 
safety contact us directly, or take it to a qualified technician.

ValveTrain Amplification is not responsible for your safety when using this device.  We 
give you these basics to protect you and well as ourselves.

Use Common Sense.

Do not use the amplifier, or leave it plugged in when it is exposed to liquids. (This 
includes rain, water, soft drinks and beer.)

Do not change tubes or fuses without first unplugging the amplifier.

Use the correct replacement fuse in the event that it needs to be changed.

Tubes can get extremely hot when the amplifier is in use.  Please keep your children 
away from them, along with anyone else.  They will get severely burned if they come in 
contact with the tubes when the amplifier is in operation or recently powered off.

Do not use the amplifier when it is near drapery, furnishings, paper or anything else 
flammable.  The heat from the tubes may possibly cause them to ignite. Maintain at least 
6 inches of space around the unit while it is in operation.

Instrument amplifiers by nature are intended to get loud.  Respect your hearing and the 
hearing of others.  Permanent damage may result.

This amplifier comes with a grounded power cord (3 prong).  Do not alter this and always 
make sure the unit is connected to properly grounded power of the correct voltage. 
(United States  120VAC)

Never run the amplifier without speaker(s) connected.  You may cause major damage 
(not under warranty by the way) to the amplifier.

We’ve tried to do our part, you do yours…

Don’t take chances.
