[. . . ] CARVIN ENGINEERING DATA MTS3200 GUITAR HEAD MTS3212 COMBO GUITAR AMP OPERATING MANUAL RECEIVING INSPECTION--read before getting started INSPECT YOUR AMP FOR ANY DAMAGE which may have occurred during shipping. If any damage is found, please notify the shipping company and CARVIN immediately. SAVE THE CARTON & ALL PACKING MATERIALS. In the event you have to re-ship your unit, always use the original carton and packing material. [. . . ] For some of the best saturation, set the control between 4 & 6. For full blown overdrive, set the control between 6 and 10 (your guitar volume should be turned all the way up). Because the MTS3200 has been "Hot Rodded" with so much gain in the DRIVE control, you will have an abundance of guitar feedback. However, if feedback is a problem, reduce the amount 14. POWER SWITCH & INDICATOR The power switch is to be utilized as the master ON/OFF switch. As the amp is turned on, the RED portion of the power switch will illuminate as your ON indicator.

SPEAKER JACKS Two 1/4" SPEAKER JACKS are featured to operate several speaker systems at the same time. Calculate the total speaker impedance based on parallel wiring as both speaker jacks are wired in parallel. Select the IMPEDANCE SWITCH for the correct impedance. 22. AC POWER & FUSE The detachable AC POWER CORD supplied is designed to operate with one type of voltage (the European 230V export model uses a CEE-7 plug cord set). Check the rear power cord label for the proper voltage and fuse value. Make sure the cord is securely inserted into the back of the unit. Plug the cord into a grounded "3" prong" power source. No attempt should ever be made to defeat or use the amp without the ground connected. The FUSE (some models have circuit breakers) is located within the AC power cord receptacle. To check or replace the fuse, remove the power cord, place a screwdriver under the "FUSE" cap and pull the fuse holder out. The fuse type is a 250V Slow Blow SB 5 x 20mm rated at 3A for 120V & 1. 5A for 230V models. Do not use fast acting fuse, only a SLOW BLOW (SB) type fuse will work. 16. SPEAKER IMPEDANCE SWITCH The IMPEDANCE SWITCH offers the selection of 4, 8 or 16 ohms to match your speaker system. The correct setting for two 16 speakers or cabinets would be 8 ohms. The impedance of the MTS3212 combo amp is 8 ohms. All tubes are keyed in the same direction. [. . . ] Care should be taken so that objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled into the enclosure through openings. POWER SOURCES: The appliance should be connected to a power supply only of the type described in the operating instructions or as marked on the appliance. GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION: Precautions should be taken so that the grounding or polarization means of an appliance is not defeated. POWER CORD PROTECTION: Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance.
