User manual PEAVEY TRIPLE XXX

[. . . ] Designed to work equally well into 4, 8, or 16-Ohm loads, matching this monster to a cabinet is limited only by your imagination. With footswitchable channel and effects loop, the Triple XXX lets you keep your hands on the guitar - and your eyes on your dream. Three 12AX7 preamp tubes Four 6L6GC power amp tubes driven by a 12AX7 Power amp convertible to use four EL34 tubes Footswitchable effects loop with independent send and return controls Damping switch (Tight, Medium, Loose) Special noise gate circuitry on Ultra and Crunch channels Line out with level control Cabinet impedance switch (4, 8, or 16 Ohms) Heavy-duty power, standby and channel select toggle switches Classic power status indicator lamp Chrome-plated brass control knobs In the STANDBY position the tubes stay hot but the amplifier is not operational. switching to the ON position places the amp in active mode. [. . . ] A high damping factor (TIGHT) reduces cone vibration quicker than a low (LOOSE) factor. This switch works much like the resonance and presence controls on other Peavey amps, if those controls were turned simultaneously. If two enclosures of equal impedance are used, the switch should be set to half the individual value. For example, two 16-Ohm enclosures necessitate an 8-Ohm setting, while two 8-Ohm enclosures would require a 4-Ohm setting. The CABINET IMPEDANCE SWITCH (23) should be set to match the load of the speaker cabinet(s). LINE OUT LEVEL This control sets the level of signal being sent out of the LINE OUT (26) jack. It may be used to balance the level of slave power amp/speaker systems driven from the LINE OUT (26) to the level of cabinets driven from the SPEAKER OUTPUTS (24). LINE OUT This 1/4" mono (TS) jack provides a post-power amp signal to drive another power amp/speaker system while maintaining the amplifier's tone. fUSE A fuse is located within the cap of the fuse holder. This fuse must be replaced with one of the same type and value to avoid damaging the amplifier and voiding the warranty. If the amp repeatedly blows the fuse, it should be taken to a qualified service center for repair. wARNING: THE FUSE SHOULD ONLY BE REPLACED AFTER THE POWER CORD HAS BEEN DISCONNECTED. GROUND POLARITY SWITCH This three-position, rocker-type switch should normally be placed in the center (0) position. If hum or noise is noticed coming from the speaker enclosure(s), the switch may be placed in the "+" or "-" position to minimize hum/noise. If changing the polarity does not alleviate the problem, consult your authorized Peavey dealer, the Peavey factory, or a qualified service technician. The mains cord should be connected to the amplifier before connecting to a suitable AC outlet. S DOMESTIC AC MAINS CORD The mains cord supplied with the unit is a heavy-duty, 3-conductor type with a conventional 120 VAC plug with ground pin. If the outlet used does not have a ground pin, a suitable grounding adapter should be used, and the third wire should be grounded properly. Never break off the ground pin on any equipment. NOTE: FOR UK ONLY If the colors of the wires in the mains lead of this unit do not correspond with the colored markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: (1) The wire that is colored green and yellow must be connected to the terminal that is marked by the letter E, the earth symbol, colored green, or colored green and yellow. [. . . ] Features and specifications subject to change without notice. WARNING: When using electric products, basic cautions should always be followed, including the following: 1. Read all safety and operating instructions before using this product. 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. [. . . ]
