[. . . ] Bright Switch (4) When activated (pressed in), this switch provides a 6 dB boost to the extreme high frequency portion of your signal. Channel selection may also be achieved by using the remote footswitch. the Select Switch must be in the ÒinÓ position for the footswitch to operate. Use of the footswitch will also allow you to select between the Crunch and Lead channels. Low, Mid, and High EQ (6) This section is a passive tone control for the clean channel. Adjusting these knobs clockwise will pass more low, mid, or high frequency content of the Clean channel to the internal power amps. Adjusting this control clockwise will increase the input level, thus increasing distortion. Thrash Switch (8) When activated (in), this switch attenuates a preset portion of the mid range resulting in a more ÒheavyÓ sound and an apparent increase in distortion. gain Switch (9) When activated (in) , this switch boosts the pregain of the Crunch channel resulting in increased distortion. This effect is often used to get intentional feedback and increased sustain. The desired tone and distortion level should be obtained prior to adjusting this control for proper level. Preamp Out (24) These left and right mono 1/4" jacks provide an output from each of the preamps. When used in conjunction with the Power Amp In jacks (23), a stereo effects loop is formed allowing the use of stereo delays and various effects. To use the footswitch ensure that the footswitch plug is inserted fully into the jack and that the Select switch is pressed in (down position) on the front panel. AC LINE CORDÑ120 V PRODUCTS ONLY (26) For you safety, we have incorporated a three-wire line (mains) cable with proper grounding facilities. It is not advisable to remove the ground pin under any circumstances. If it is necessary to use the equipment without proper grounding facilities, suitable grounding adapters should be used. Less noise and greatly reduced shock hazard exists when the unit is operated with the proper grounded receptacles. NOTE: FOR UK ONLY As the colors of the wires in the mains lead of this apparatus may not correspond with the colored markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: ¥ The wire which is colored green and yellow must be connected to the terminal which is marked by the letter E, or by the earth symbol, or colored green or green and yellow. ¥ The wire which is colored blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N, or the color black. ¥ The wire which is colored brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L, or the color red. Stereo mode into 8 ohm, power amp inputs -3 dB, +2 dB, 70 Hz to 20 kHz, @ 45 W RMS into 8 ohms Impedance: High-Z, 30 k ohms Designed Input Level: 0 dBV, 1 V RMS (Switching jack provides preamp output to power amp input connection when not used. [. . . ] If this product is to be mounted in an equipment rack, rear support should be provided. Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause a permanent hearing loss. Individuals vary considerably in susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss, but nearly everyone will lose some hearing if exposed to sufficiently intense noise for a sufficient time. GovernmentÕs Occupational and Health Administration (OSHA) has specified the following permissible noise level exposures: Duration Per Day In Hours 8 6 4 3 2 1 1/2 1 1/2 1/4 or less Sound Level dBA, Slow Response 90 92 95 97 100 102 105 110 115 According to OSHA, any exposure in excess of the above permissible limits could result in some hearing loss.
