User manual PEAVEY VALVEKING

[. . . ] A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding plug. The wide blade or third prong is provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point they exit from the apparatus. [. . . ] Please read this guide carefully to ensure your personal safety as well as the safety of your amplifier. Two footswitchable channels with independent, three-band EQ · VENTILATION: For proper ventilation, allow 24" clearance from nearest combustible surface. If both inputs are used simultaneously, the levels are the same (both are Low Gain). NOTE: Channel selection may also be achieved by using the optional remote footswitch (item #00579720). When depressed, this switch increases the preamp gain to add more distortion. The GAIN BOOST (#8) may be selected independently or in conjunction with the VOLUME BOOST (#9). This feature can be controlled via the optional footswitch (Iitem #00579720). NOTE: Activating this feature is comparable to turning up the Gain control, thus increasing distortion. vOLUME BOOST Acts as an extension to the VOLUME (#10). When depressed, this switch boosts the overall volume level of the Lead channel. The VOLUME BOOST may be selected independently or in conjunction with the GAIN BOOST (#8). This feature can be controlled via the optional footswitch (#00579720). NOTE: Activating this feature is comparable to turning up the VOLUME control, thus increasing loudness. Inserting a plug into this jack will break the signal path until it is returned via the EFFECTS SEND (#13) jack. RESONANCE (ValveKingTM 212 and 100 Head only) This patented feature, available only from Peavey, is used to fine-tune the low-frequency response and damping factor of the power amp section. At higher settings, the speakers are allowed to move more freely at low frequencies, resulting in more apparent low end with slightly less signal clarity at maximum settings. PRESENCE (ValveKing 212 and 100 Head only) This control is used to fine-tune the high-frequency response and damping factor of the power amp section. At higher settings, the speakers are allowed to move more freely at high frequencies, resulting in more apparent high end. PILOT LIGHT Illuminates when AC power is being supplied to the amp. STANDBY SWITCH Placing this switch in the "Standby" position will effectively shut the amp off while leaving the tube filaments on. Leave this switch in the "Standby" position for a minimum of one (1) minute after engaging the POWER SWITCH (#19). This is also a useful feature, since much tube wear comes from the heating and cooling of the tube itself. [. . . ] if no switch is depressed in the Boost section , the Boost footswitch does not function. When using the footswitch, always insert the plug fully (second click) into the FOOTSWITCH JACK to ensure proper operation. iMPEDANCE SELECTOR (ValveKing 212 and 100 Head only) This three-position switch allows appropriate selection of speaker cabinet impedance. If two enclosures of equal impedance are used, the switch should be set to half the individual value. [. . . ]
