CAUTION
THIS AMPLIFIER HAS BEEN DESIGNED AND CONSTRUCTED
TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE POWER RESERVE FOR PLAYING
MODERN MUSIC WHICH MAY REQUIRE OCCASIONAL PEAK
POWER. EXTENDED OPERATION AT ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM
POWER IS NOT RECOMMENDED SINCE THIS COULD
DAMAGE THE ASSOCIATED LOUDSPEAKER SYSTEM.
PLEASE BE AWARE THAT MAXIMUM POWER CAN BE
OBTAINED WITH VERY LOW SETTINGS OF THE MASTER
VOLUME CONTROLS IF THE INPUT SIGNAL IS VERY STRONG.

1.) Mic/Line Input Jack 1 - this is a 1/4" 2 conductor input jack for plugging in your instrument. It is intended for
keyboards or Hi-Z microphones but will accept other instruments as well.
2.) Mic/Line Input Jack 2 - this is a 1/4" 2 conductor input jack for plugging in your instrument. It is intended for
keyboards or Hi-Z microphones but will accept other instruments as well.
3.) Gain 1 - this control is the output volume control for the Input #1. Slowly increase the control to increase the
volume. If you are using a keyboard with a preamp, set it's level for a mid position before increasing this control
otherwise distortion may occur. Both inputs follow the same tone circuit as the other input.
4.) Mic/Line Switch - this switch will allow impedance matching depending on whether you are using a instrument
or a microphone input in the associated input.
5.) Gain 2 - this control is the output volume control for the Input #2. Slowly increase the control to increase the
volume. If you are using a high impedance microphone, be careful when increasing the volume. Depending on
mic position, it may feedback if mic is in front of speaker. Both inputs follow the same tone circuit as the other
input.
6.) Low - this control is the bass control. It is active and set to boost or cut frequencies at 55 Hz. This will effect
the low frequency signals. Turning it fully clockwise, the signal is boosted 18 db. Turning it counterclockwise,
the low will be rolled off -18db. Especially good for "cleaning up" preset patches or making thin patches sound
fuller.
7.) Lo Mid - this control is the Low Midrange control. It is active and set to boost or cut frequencies at 350 Hz.
This will effect the mid-low frequency signals. Turning it fully clockwise, the signal is boosted 12 db. Turning it
counterclockwise, the low-mids will be rolled off -12db. Especially good for "cleaning up" preset patches.
8.) Hi Mid - this control is the High Midrange control. It is active and set to boost or cut frequencies at 2.5KHz.
This will effect the mid-high frequency signals. Turning it fully clockwise, the signal is boosted 12 db. Turning it
counterclockwise, the low-mids will be rolled off -12db. Increasing this will add punch to keyboard patches or
vocal presence.
9.) High - this is the high frequency tone control. It is active and set to boost or cut frequencies at 8KHz. This will
effect the high frequency signals. Turning it fully clockwise, the signal is boosted 18 db. Turning it
counterclockwise, the low-mids will be rolled off -18db. This will add or subtract the high end shimmer and
clarity.
10.) Effects On/Off - this switch engages the digital effects section.
11.) Effects Level - this control adds the digital effects section and mixes it into the main signal buss. Several
different effects are available.
12.) Program Select - this switch will select any of eight different effects. 4- Reverb, 2- Chorus, and 2- delay.
13.) Jewel Light - this jewel light lets you know that the amplifier is on.
14.) Power - this switch turns on and off the AC power to the amp.
Back Panel - (not pictured)
Speaker Out - this is a 2 conductor 1/4" speaker output jack. This will disconnect the internal speaker and
allow an external speaker cabinet to be employed. Rating is 8 ohms.
Line Output - this is a 2 conductor 1/4" line output jack. This will allow an external amplifier or mixing board to
be supplied with the signal from this amp. This signal is attenuated and from the power amp.
Headphone Jack - this is a 1/4" 3 conductor jack for plugging headphones. It will sum the signal and put the
sound in both ears, thereby creating a pseudo-stereo sound. It will disconnect the internal speaker when
plugged in. This will allow quiet practicing.
Footswitch- this is a mono 1/4” jack. Plug a single non LED type footswitch (optional) into this jack to
turn the digital effects on and off.

Suggested Settings
(These settings are general starting points. They
are designed to get you close to the sound you
are looking for. If the control is not shown, then it
doesn't apply to this particular sound. )
Standard Dual Instrument Setup - in this setup two keyboards or instruments are plugged into
Inputs 1 & 2. (Remember, if you are using pre-amplified keyboards or a drum machine, we suggest
that you turn their output levels to about mid way up and this will give you a cleaner sound as well as
giving you available headroom for leads.) You can also plug in any combination of keyboards,
microphones or guitars. The two guitar setup is especially useful for teaching studios.
Of course, you can adjust the tone controls to any desired sound but in this setup, we suggest these
tone control settings. It will deliver a clear, clean sound that has enough top end clarity to cut through.
Add low and low mid for a beefier presence but be careful as this can "muddy up" the sound. Adjust
the reverb and chorus according to taste.
Standard Dual Microphone Setup - in this setup two Hi-Z microphones are plugged into Inputs 1 &
2. This is a basic mini-PA system. This can be also be used for plugging in a CD player or cassette
decks and a microphone for karaoke, teaching studios, small public address or even DJ work. It can
be used for singing over prerecorded tapes with mixing capabilities.
As mentioned earlier, you can adjust the tone controls to any desired sound, but in this setup we
suggest these tone control settings. Of course it depends on the listening environment. It will deliver a
clear, clean sound that has enough top end clarity to let the voices cut through.
Adjust the reverb and chrous to suit the music or to your taste. In public address work, you usually
don't use reverb unless you are singing.
