User manual FENDER 94 TWIN-AMP

[. . . ] THE SOUND THAT CREATES LEGENDS Twin, Amp Owner s Manual 047775 P/N TYPE: PR266 Introduction The Fender TWINTM is the next step up in the evolution of High Performance instrument amplification. The new TWIN is a direct descendent of classic tube amps such as the Fender Twin Reverb®, and 410 Bassman®, which have shaped today's world of guitar amps. The features of the new Fender TWIN provide flexibility rarely found in tube amplifiers. Channel One is the traditional Fender design which offers the vintage sound as well as contemporary sounds with the use of switch-selectable Gain and Master Volume controls. [. . . ] When the switch is off (down), the amplifier is completely shut down. STANDBY SWITCH -- When in the STANDBY position, the amplifier is off; however, the tube filaments are left on as to eliminate warm-up time, provided that the POWER SWITCH (item B) is ON. Use of this feature during short breaks versus using the POWER SWITCH will increase tube life. OUTPUT SWITCH -- When in the OUTPUT HIGH position, the maximum output power of the Twin is set to 100 watts RMS, when in the OUTPUT LOW position, 25 watts RMS. The OUTPUT HIGH position is normally used in most applications, and the OUTPUT LOW position is useful for simulating a smaller amplifier, especially when the power amp is overdriven. EFFECTS LEVEL -- This switch directly affects the signal level appearing at the EFFECTS SEND JACK (item F) by boosting or attenuating the signal being sent to the effects. External rack effects usually require a setting of 3dBV. Use the highest setting possible that does not produce distortion for the best low noise performance. F. EFFECTS SEND JACK -- Provides an unbalanced output signal from the preamp, pre-reverb. EFFECTS RETURN JACK -- This jack provides a pre-reverb return from effects gear. Plugging into this jack makes the MIX control on the front panel active. PRE-AMP OUT JACK -- The PRE-AMP OUT JACK, in conjunction with the POWER AMP IN JACK (item I), provides a post-reverb patch point at the power amplifier input. This jack can be used to provide an unbalanced, line-level signal (1. 3dBV) for recording and sound reinforcement consoles, and for driving external power amplifiers, or another TWIN used as a slave amp. To use another TWIN as a slave amp, simply run a guiter cord from the master TWIN'S PREAMP OUT JACK to the slave TWIN'S POWER AMP IN JACK . (Note: this output is best for driving tube type slave amps. See item P, BALANCED LINE OUT, for driving solid-state slave amps. ) I. POWER AMP IN JACK -- This jack connects directly to the input of the power amplifier. It automatically disconnects the preamp signal when used. This is useful for using the Twin as a slave amp. OUTPUT BIAS ADJUST -- This trim adjustment is used in conjunction with the OUTPUT BALANCE ADJUST (item L) and the BIAS TEST POINTS (item K) to set the output tube bias. See Output Tube Bias Adjustment Instructions below. BIAS TEST POINTS -- Used to measure output tube bias and balance with a digital voltmeter. [. . . ] TUBES The Fender Twin tube complement consists of four Fender Special Design 6L6WGC/5881's (part number 039214), three Fender Special Design 12AT7's (part number 023531), and five 12AX7A's (part number 013341). Fender's Special Design Tubes provide optimum performance in the amplifier. For best results, replace with Fender original equipment tubes only. BLACK TOLEX COVERING CARE The exclusive Fender Tolex covering on your cabinet is especially designed to provide years of lasting beauty. [. . . ]
