Functions
The front panel features controls for your amplifier. The rear panel includes various connectors.
Front Panel Controls:
1. Input Connector: Connect your guitar using a 6.3mm TS jack cable.
2. High/Low Switch: Selects between 1W (low) and 15W (high) power output.
3. Reverb Control: Adjusts the amount of reverb. Fully anticlockwise adds no reverb.
4. Treble Control: Adjusts the amount of treble (high frequency) sent to the speaker output.
5. Middle Control: Adjusts the amount of mid-range frequency sent to the speaker output.
6. Bass Control: Adjusts the amount of bass (low frequency) sent to the speaker output.
7. Tone Control: Adjusts the amplifier's tone. Fully anticlockwise yields a thinner sound; fully clockwise yields a broader sound.
8. Volume Control: Controls the overall volume sent to the speaker output connector.
9. Gain Control: Increases input gain from the guitar. More gain results in a more distorted sound.
10. Standby Light: Illuminates when the amplifier is switched on.
11. Power Switch: Turns the amplifier on and off. Allow tubes to warm up before playing for increased lifespan and better sound.
Rear Panel Connectors:
12. Mains Power Connector: Connect the amplifier to mains power using the provided cable.

15. Effects Loop (Send) Connector: Connect the input of an external effects processor using a 6.3mm TS jack cable.
