User manual FENDER HELLECASTERS JOHN JORGENSON HELLECASTER

[. . . ] The versatility of the HELLECASTERS JOHN JORGENSON HELLECASTER is greatly expanded by the individual mono and true, stereo effects loops. These patch points allow for a wide variety of external effects connection schemes and amplifier slaving configurations. They also provide for direct connection to recording and sound reinforcement mixers. Last, but definitely not least, the Fender® HELLECASTERS JOHN JORGENSON HELLECASTER packs a new stereo power amp section based on a radically underdamped design that interacts with the speakers in much the same way as a tube amplifier does, producing sparkle and punch with an increase in apparent loudness and power that defies comparison to other similarly rated units.

INPUT 1- A high impedance, high sensitivity plug-in connection for instruments. INPUT 2- Plug-in connection for instruments. This input exhibits a lower input impedance and sensitivity than INPUT 1 (Item A) and is useful with active preamp guitars, and will provide a darker tone with passive guitars. Both inputs are identical when used simultaneously. VOLUME- Adjusts the overall loudness of the Normal Channel. NORMAL CHANNEL INDICATOR- This LED is illuminated when the Normal Channel is active. TREBLE- Adjusts the amount of boost (accentuation) or cut (attenuation) in the high frequency range of the Normal Channel. A lower setting will introduce a subtle yet distinct effect, whereas a higher setting will create a more dramatic effect. With both the RATE (Item S) and DEPTH controls set midway or higher, a variety of vibrato/tremolo type effects can be achieved. CHORUS INDICATOR- This LED is illuminated when the stereo chorus is active. The color of the LED is modulated red and green by the chorus sweep LFO to give a visual indication of the sweep rate. V. Y. MONO FX RETURN- This unbalanced jack inputs signal to the stereo chorus generating circuitry, which drives the stereo power amp section. It automatically disconnects the preamp and reverb circuitry when used. This is useful when using the MONO FX option or when using the HELLECASTERS JOHN JORGENSON HELLECASTER as a slave amplifier for a mono signal source. The CHORUS is active in the slave so that a stereo image will be generated if it is used. STEREO FX SEND- This jack provides an unbalanced stereo output from the preamp, reverb and chorus circuits of the HELLECASTERS JOHN JORGENSON HELLECASTER. This output can be used in conjunction with the STEREO FX RETURN (Item AA) as a patch point for stereo effects devices. (SEE EFFECTS LOOP CONNECTION DIAGRAMS. ) The Stereo Effects Loop jacks are standard 1/4 inch TipRing-Sleeve types, with the left channel signal on the tip and the right channel signal on the ring. [. . . ] It automatically disconnects the preamp, reverb and chorus circuitry when used. This is useful when using the HELLECASTERS JOHN JORGENSON HELLECASTER as a slave amplifier for a stereo signal source. POWER SWITCH- Turns AC power ON and OFF. When the switch is OFF the amplifier is completely shut down. W. [. . . ]
